"I thought Bush went to Yale?"

Bush got his B.A. from Yale, his M.B.A. from Harvard.

W flew the F-102 Delta Dagger Interceptor, a badly-designed "flying coffin," 30% of which crashed, burned, or were otherwise destroyed. A little-noticed footnote about Bush "serving in the Air National Guard to get out of going to Vietnam" is that Texas Air Guard F-102's from Bush's unit were deployed and flying combat missions in Vietnam the day that he enlisted. Several months later, the F-102's were withdrawn from Vietnam, being regarded as less than suitable for the conflict. You will not find this information in the Washington Pist or the New York Crimes....or in Dan Blather's SeeBS account.

The F-102 was a single seat Fighter. There were no two seat training models. Once you had Flight Training in other aircraft and the F-102 Simulator, you went up for the first time on your own.

The F-102 had a serious habit of Compressor failure on take off. If that occurred, there was not enough time for the Pilot to eject. It had a deserved Widow-maker reputation and many Pilots were killed in accidents.

The Left and their allies in the Media will continue to insinuate that young George Bush was a coward for not going to Vietnam while diminishing his Military Service in the Air National Guard. Bush served in the same unit as the Son of Lloyd Benson, the Democrat VP Candidate in 1988 who embarrassed Dan Quayle with the “I knew Jack Kennedy” line in the V.P. Debate.

They will continue to question George Bush's intelligence, all the while knowing he maintained a higher GPA in College than both Gore and Kerry. I believe he is the only POTUS to have earned a Masters Degree, and we all know the Air Force loves to put idiots in multi million dollar Fighter Aircraft.

The lies and innuendo coming from the Left will nevver end.
