1. apparently
he went back to the site in the middle of the pacific ocean where he was shot down again for whatever reason
didnt he do that like 5 years ago
oh wait - that was a parachute jump I think ... wouldnt that have been ironic if his now non-hemp parachute failed him?

3. The occasion is that they haven't shown it in the last month or so.
Poppy's heroism must never be allowed to slip away from the consciousness of the American people. No doubt CNN got a memo from KKKarl.

13. the fiber of the true hero in poopard will never show--it would require
him to say to the American public, "I never was a hero--and neither is my son"! Now, that would be his true test of courage and he does not have it.

4. I think CNN is trying to torture the Bush people with it. I mean they
obviously cannot find another documentary to give them conservative balance. All documentaries are critical of neocons or they are politically funded phony documentaries. I mean if you did a documentary on anyone in the WH or congress who was conservative & not John McCain you would have to put in the part about them skipping Vietnam.

I guess they have no choice. :rofl: Got to go back to the previous generation of conservatives. Like Dole.

5. I wish they'd show this part...
George Bush Parachutes Again to Exorcise Demons of Past Betrayal

snip>

After 44 years of silence, Mierzejewski, who also was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, told the New York Post that Bush had abandoned his crew to death when there was another choice.

He said he was approximately 100 feet in front of Bush's plane as the turret gunner for Squadron Commander Douglas Melvin's plane, "so close he could see in the cockpit" of Bush's bomber. Mierzejewski's close wartime buddy was one of the two crew members in Bush's plane.

According to Mierzejewski, the squadron was in a tight-formation bombing raid against a Japanese radio installation on an island reported to be heavily fortified. He saw "a puff of smoke" come from Bush's plane which quickly disappeared and was certain only one man parachuted from the plane and that it was Bush, the pilot.

Mierzejewski said the Avenger torpedo bomber was engineered so that it could successfully crash land on water and that Bush doomed his own crew by bailing out and leaving the bomber out of control. Much More....

14. D-Day anniversary coming up, and....
Poppy Bush was not in the European theater of combat (psst- the Bush family did business with the enemy there).

Therefore, Propaganda Minister Rove wants everyone to KNOW that Glorious Commander George W. Bush has a family tradition of saving the United States from evil tyranny, like his father's heroic service in WW II. Propaganda Minister Rove felt that the Glorious Commander George W. Bush's heroic fighter jet service defending this nation from Vietnamese attacks on our homeland didn't really fit with the WW II anniversary date coming up, so he is showing the strong heroic bloodline that our Glorious Commander George W. Bush comes from instead.

on what, precisely, he was doing in November of 1963.

18. Does bailing out of a plane and leaving crewmates to die make a hero?
John Kerry was/is a hero.
Not Poppy!
