The only military is an impotent military?
My only fear is that Bush will get "kerry'd" on this issue, meaning because he is not refuting these false charges, (not that the ones against Kerry were false) that he will lose his standing. Remember all the analysts think that one of KErry's biggest problem was that he didn't fight back against the swiftees. And I ahve no faith in the average voter to investigate these claims either, which is sad. I'd like to see the President come forward and say something to put a stop to all this TANG stuff.
Here's the deal: Kerry and the Dems are totally unprincipled vermin. They know nothing of honesty, decency, or honor. They do know that their boy got knocked down a couple of pegs by the Swiftvets and their attacks on Kerry's phony-war-hero shtick.
The problem is that because they lack a moral compass, they can't see their way clear of the mess they've made for themselves. They mistakenly think the problem is that Kerry didn't go on the attack against the Swiftees soon enough. Whereas the problem is actually that Kerry is a contemptible fraud.
Nevertheless, in their own view, they figure if it worked against Kerry, it will work against the President. So they plan on attacking President Bush on his Guard service, on the contention that he wore a ribbon he didn't deserve, and on the claim that he was in the Air Force, but the Dems say he lied.
What idiots! Keep digging. They just don't get it.
President Bush IS honorable. There is no reason for him to be ashamed of his guard service, he was a fighter pilot, he earned the ribbons he wore, he was in the Air Force while on active duty in pilot training.
The Dems learned the wrong lesson. They think they learned to go on the attack. What they should have learned is don't nominate a fraud.
When I was a ship's captain in the navy, we had a guy who stole some strawberries...yes, strawberries....strawberries
Admiral Stansfield Turner was the CIA Director for President Carter, who managed to gut and turn the CIA upside down with his "Halloween Massacre" at the CIA:
-"On August 7, 1977 CIA director Stansfield Turner called a meeting of his people and announced that the Agency had not reduced proportionately now that the Vietnam War had ended. He announced deep cuts that would target more senior than junior officers. The pink slips went out on October 31, 1977. Angry rebuttals by the DDO employees, to the CIA Halloween Massacre at Langley were echoed by the media who claimed that Turner was striking at the heart of the service, that he was jeopardizing its covert action capability and cruelly dumping patriotic Americans..
I'm ROTFLMAO at the demoncRATS hypocrisy. Pres. doesn't have any purple hearts. But their guy goes to 'Nam, writes himself up for any and unlimited # of purple hearts even after committing atrocities that he admits to, returns to the States engages in anti-war activity and demeans every military person who serves the country, associates with the enemy, throws away his ribbons/medals and yet he didn't do anything wrong. Oh what hypocrisy!
To me, it seems like the Democrats are trying to dishonor the Guard.
