In act, it is official Navy policy to never arrive early, since it is a disservice to waiting families, who would miss the opportunity to greet their Navy loved ones.
Dam Dims -- I actually think this is hilarious. The contrast between an honest president in a party with principles versus the previous smarmy liar and his syncophantic supporters is a great coup for the good guys.
Average Americans must think Waxman and his ilk are nuts!

You know, when they announce whatever figure that they decide that it cost for Dubya to fly onto that aircraft carrier, they will most likely include the cost of food for all 5,000 men for the supposedly extra day as well as salaries for the day for all of them, electricity or whatever powers the ship, absolutely anything and everything associated with the ship's expenses for the day.

Everyone with Navy connections who has ever made plans to meet the return of a deployment knows this. Why do the members of the leftist press think they can spin a lie to their audiences?
Everytime one of them reports that President Bush "held up the ship" more Americans come to the realization that some news outlets are flat out lying to their audiences.
I am sure that an aircraft carrier's cruise plan includes getting as close to the coast as a five-day sail allows to make the flying off of the fighter squadrons as short as possible, another fact that a reporter.should be able to easily learn.
