1. You have to admit, he did gallantly protect the southern border
from an invasion by the Mexican Air Force.. (before he went AWOL)

6. NO RECORD OF BUSH AT GUARD DRILLS FROM 1972-1973.
During his fifth year as a guardsman, Bush's records show no sign he appeared for duty.

May 24, 1972: Bush, who has moved to Alabama to work on a US Senate race, gets permission to serve with a reserve unit in Alabama. But headquarters decided Bush must serve with a more active unit.
Sept. 5, 1972: Bush is granted permission to do his Guard duty at the 187th Tactical Recon Group in Montgomery. But Bush's record shows no evidence he did the duty, and the unit commander says he never showed up.
November 1972 to April 30, 1973: Bush returns to Houston, but apparently not to his Air Force unit.
May 2, 1973: The two lieutenant colonels in charge of Bush's unit in Houston cannot rate him for the prior 12 months, saying he has not been at the unit in that period.

Under Air National Guard rules at the time, guardsmen who missed duty could be reported to their Selective Service Board and inducted into the Army as draftees." --Boston Globe, 5/23/00

25. He also intercepted drugs coming across the border
... and made sure their quality was constantly tested.

I make the wars. You fight them.

See, that's what a Decider does. He makes wars. For his daddy's friends.

gay, he will NEVER be. That's just wrong.

10. "suck c---" as a put-down sure puts down a lot of quite fine
people in the world, don't you think?

i can see some marine drill sergeants thinking that is the most horrible thing that could be said of a man, but many here just would not agree, and find that cartoon very offensive.

it's not acceptable here, you know.

please remove that, or edit it?
thank you.

and the others...
sigh.

fact is, * is a monstrosity!!!

11. As the Houston Chronicle reported in January, 2002:
Little AWOL Commander Man....

I`ve been to war. I`ve raised twins. If I had a choice, I`d rather go to war." Right, Junior.

13. I wish you all would quit this. Bush had a good reason
for not going to Nam. He was a coke addict.

24. Not Meant That Way
I did not mean it that way. I completely dislike and disagree with what Bush did. I just wanted to say thank you to all the veterans. I did not want to go through veterans day without saying thank you.

23. I think now would be a great time
for him to finish his service. How about a two-year stint in Iraq, starting tomorrow.
Oh, and take Cheney and Rove with you. Cheney can take his shotgun for protection and Rove can keep you updated on things back home. And don't forget to write!
