"Kadell bascially said that Kerry/Democrats made a mistake making Kerry's Vietnam service the cornerstone of his campaign instead of talking about the issues."

The issue is whether or not Kerry is fit to command in a time of war. In nam he found a way to abandon ship in the heat of the battle. (three purple hearts and you're out!) Course, Bush found a way to not even board the ship. Based on this criteria, neither are fit. But they are the only two choices we have.

Sure Bush took out the Taliban and Saddam. But for some reason he hesitates now. He's got a muslim terrorist and his gang of misfits holed up in a mosque that is basically controlling things in Iraq...this murdering religious nutcase is responsible for untold deaths of american soldiers. We all know his name. We all know his location. And with all the firepower we have, Bush decides to negotiate with him. What? This terrorist aka cleric is wanted for murder and Bush is playing footsies with him? Beam me up Scottie.

If we are going to win a war against terrorism, we're going to need a President unwilling to negotiate with terrorists who happen to be holed up in a mosque.

Nope, neither are fit based on what we now know.

I don't think that is a fair statement about President Bush!!!

Strange....I was always under the impression that one had to be in a BRANCH OF THE MILITARY TO BE A FIGHTER PILOT!!! I did part of my own service in a reserve componant, so be careful what you say about the Reserves and Guard. It's not a skate, it's not a "free ride," and you damn sure are "on the ship" (or in the plane, tank or foxhole, as the case may be)!
