anyone (43) who flew fighter aircraft, combat or not; and anyone with the military record of 41, can hardly be called “weaklings.”
Of course they can. weaklings, weaklings, weaklings. Both Bushes. And momma Bush too. And Jeb. the whole clan are weaklings. And, may I remind you that John Kerry served in Vietnam.
As War Presidents? Incredibly weak.
I take my hat off to anyone who has flown fighter jets. They have exhibited commendable bravery.
But bravery and strength of character are not the same thing. Both Bushes failed to define the enemy, failed to define victory, and both failed to achieve it.
Bush #1, of course, failed because of his stupid "coalition". It was so important to him to kiss muslim ass that he did not appreciate the benefits of overwhelming victory.
Bush #2? Where can one start? "Religion of peace" was a reason to resign. Not getting a declaration of war against Saudi Arabia and Pakistan? Attacking Iraq as the path of least resistance? Allowing Barbara Boxer and every Member of Congress with a skirt to fly over to Afghanistan and try to tell them what to do with their women? Sheesh!
Both men had brass balls to fly those planes. Both were pathetic weaklings as Commanders-in-Chief. FDR couldn't even walk, much less fly fighters, but he know how to fight a war all the way up to nuke 'em till they glow so we could shoot 'em in the dark. This "war" should have been over in six weeks. Instead, failure after failure, all born of weakness, brought us "Obama" and his whole retinue.
