With President Bush's connections....he could have gotten any assignment in any branch of service he wanted...

So if he were trying to 'avoid' going to war

Why the heck would he want to fly fighter aircraft

He could have gotten a job in 'Special Services' in Greece had he wanted to use his connections.....

One of my neighbors used her special connection to a ranking family to get her new hubby
who joined the Air force rather than risk getting drafted into the Army Infantry...a nice cushy stateside job for his entire hitch...

GW Bush had almost as much pull as my neighbors friends....almost...but the Republicans were in power and he could have gotten out of his service obligations very easily had he wanted to..

Instead he opted to fly jets....

credit is due ...where credit is due...

It is almost so common as to be a waste of time to criticize the New York Times for bigoted and dishonest reporting. Other media outlets make it clear that the sources used by the Times are dishonest.

Won't do any good, however, to point out to Mr. Okrent that the newspaper he works for is dishonest.

Notice that "180" re Bush means his Form 180. And "180" re kerry means FLIP FLOP!!

I have read several excellent replies here, but I'm thinking that there is a larger point consider. That is, the dems don't really think that they have a winning issue in the long run, what they have is a RED HERRING to use as a foil of MORAL EQIUIVALENCE.

It's the way they argue. If we make a valid assertion, they parry by (vocally) reversing the charges. And that's the point. They deflect legitimate charges (kerry's cowardice, turning on his fellow swifties and Viet Vets, delusional lies, meeting with the enemy) with minor counter-charges . They hope to get US (or the news consuming public) to focus entirely on the counter-charge. That's their objective. That's their way.

It's important to defend Dubya, but we should keep in mind that the depth of Mr. kerry's depravity is on no scale comparable to NYT or CBS's interpretation of National Guard paperwork vagueries. And that, my friends, should be considered at the beginning of any counter to Guard service inquiries.

Why are they trying to ressurrect essentially a dead horse, especially since the author of the story in the Boston Globe is a paid aide for the Kerry campaign (objective? fat chance!) and the the main accuser (former Texas Lt. Governor Ben Barnes) has a very chequered past?

This story will be dead within one week, in my humble opinion.

I would like to see someone in the MSM ask Kerry about his early discharge from the Naval Reserves and how that came about?

Even if it's all true, BFD!!!

. . . a once powerful Texas Democrat came forward to say that he had "abused my position of power" . . .

Abusing a position of power comes naturally to liberal Democrats.

Anyone have a Times name and password? I wonder if they retracted this forged story, too.

"Documents Suggest Special Treatment for Bush in Guard"

Do they mean the documents that were typed in msword?

[The Wizard]

This shows the conspiracy between CBS and the slimes.......the article was planned so it went ahaed, even though it's clear thaty IT'S PHONEY

NY Slimes call home.......this article has been made irrelvant by THE TRUTH

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

He got such special treatment that his commander, who was not a typist, took a time machine thirty years into the future to buy a PC and MS Word and an ink jet printer, to record (for his own person records) his observations about Bush. Then he gave these records to a mysterious confidant who held on to them for another thirty-two years in case George Bush ever ran for president. But not in case he ran for Governor.
