If you notice near the end of the article they try to make it sound like there was Two F-102's kept for George W. Bush to fly. Problem is....... the 147th is in Texas..... It's kinda hard to be ready to go in 5 minutes when you're 600 miles from Texas
Yes I saw this. more bias from the media.
Of course the papers revealed nothin that wasnt known
He's an evil retard!! A wiley dunce!
Abu Ghraib, Act II, Scene 1.
Anyone have a contact # or a fax # we can all call, asking them to sue for Kerry's records? Email won't cut it... be broke them for the Boo story... we can break them for this too...
hmm. Bush was a mediocre pilot and Kerry committed war atrocoities.. Which one is more important?
And where is their FOIA request/suit for Sen. Kerry's records?
But...but...Max Cleland said that Bush's Guard service was just "weekend warrior" stuff anyway. So who cares whether Bush was AWOL or not, right? < /Sarcasm >
dead: Maybe it's part of an elaborate rope-a-dope. Records will continue trickling out, painting an increasingly positive picture of Bush's NG service, and subtly increasing the pressure on the MSM to do "equal time" digging into Kerry's records.
Sub-Driver: Did W sign a form 180? I don't recall that. Can you tell me when?
A moron a day, that's all we ask.
In other words, W was telling the truth.
Sorry. Inquiry about form 180 should be directed to gilliam, not Sub-Driver. My bad.
ANOTHER message to the AP...
BURY the AP in these messages...
SUBJECT: The Associated Press (AP) is nothing but a Democrat attack machine

The tenor and intent of this message was to attempt to malign Bush...
Even with the obvious anti-Bush tone and tenor to this article, it proves that Bush HAS told the truth...
Yet the AP appears now, more than ever, as a DNC front organization...
Where are the howls for Kerry's records? Where is the hard questions to the Kerry campaign? Why the love affair with the DNC and Kerry and the HATEFEST for Bush and the Republican party? Why the LIES that Republicans BOOED? Why the deception and manipulation?
The Associated Press is nothing but a trash rag. Following suit with the New York Times. No longer objective, no longer about news, simply about partisan politics to support the DNC and Kerry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NO new stunning revelations, but the anti-Bush hate taint is quite obvious...

Is is any wonder that the media is rated LOWER THAN LAWYERS AND AMONG THE LOWEST RATED "PROFESSIONS" IN THE COUNTRY!!! "ABA Survey Finds Lawyers Among Lowest-Regarded U.S. Professions. But media are rated worse..." Mary P. Gallagher, New Jersey Law Journal. May 7, 2002. "Only the media, at 16 percent, were rated lower than the legal profession..."
Um, there doesn't seem to be one. An oversight I'm sure, because if they haven't gone after the other major presidential candidate's records that would mean they're totally biased and trying to help get Kerry elected.
Nevermind.....
Not suprisingly, the AP writer buried that news at the end of the story.
You might also like to know that Vietnam was seriously winding down in 1972, and there were not enough planes/slots for pilots who wanted to keep their flight status current, as so many pilots were returning to the US. I'm sure that it was considered 'cooperative' that GWB did not care about keeping current his flight status.
strange how they can always get the courts to release republican records but somehow can never see democrat's records including kerry's divorce, theresa's taxes, or kerry's service records.
They fail to point out more than that -- the Air Force was phasing out F-102's and transitition to the other planes during this time. If you were not staying in the Guard, then you were not going to transition. The F-102's left were being flown by people staying in until they could transition to the F-101 or F-106 which was replaced by F-16 in some places and F-4's in other places. Since the President was not staying in the Texas ANG, then no need to keep flying as there were not enough planes with the F-102's going to the boneyard.
Once you are getting out and no longer flying, flight physicals are not mandatory unless you want back on flying status. There was a shortage of flight surgeons during the Vietnam War so anyone not staying on flying status did not get a priority for a physical.
So Bush flew Jet Fighters for 3 YEARS, while Kerry did his little boat thing for 4 MONTHS.
Seems to me that Kerry does not measure up in his "service", since he went "AWOL" from his troops and escaped like the coward he is back to the US.
The AP is very subtle.
