What President Dwight D. Eisenhower said on 4 April 1956:

"I have announced time and time again that I will never be guilty of any kind of action that can be interpreted as war until Congress, which has the Constitutional authority, says so... And I am not going to order any troops into anything that can be interpreted as war until Congress directs it."

What resident George W Bush said on 19 March 2003:

1. Except when it comes to THEM serving: Pentagon Destroyed Bush Records

When it comes to actually fighting a war, Bush, Cheney and the rest of the neo-con turds of the BFEE become Chickenhawks.

Take Bush, please:

Pentagon: Bush Military Records Destroyed

WASHINGTON - Military payroll records that could more fully document President Bush (news - web sites)'s whereabouts during his service in the Texas Air National Guard were inadvertently destroyed, according to the Pentagon (news - web sites).


"President Bush's payroll records for those two quarters were among the records destroyed," wrote C.Y. Talbott, of the Pentagon's Freedom of Information and Security Review section. "Searches for back-up paper copies of the missing records were unsuccessful."

Presidential spokeswoman Claire Buchan said Friday there was nothing new in the letter. "When we put out records in February, we indicated that third-quarter of 1972 records were lost" when the microfilm was destroyed, she said.

Bush did not perform Guard duties during the third quarter of 1972 but "fulfilled his obligation to the National Guard in full," Buchan said. "The documents we released months ago make that clear."

In February, the White House released some payroll and medical records from Bush's Vietnam-era service to counter Democrats' suggestions that he shirked his duty in the Texas Air National Guard.
