2. Here's mine

It's about the secrecy, deception, hypocrisy, and lying. Most people in the US either have a family member or friend who ducked service in Viet Nam. No one wanted to go , and people did all they could to avoid it.. Most did not lie about it.

The Bush "story" is just that...a STORY..

His spinners like to say that "this was brought up in 1994, 1998,1999, 2000...and the people just want to move forward".. Well this "people" actually want them to once and finally answer the questions.

The fact that he was a well-connected wannabee scion of a famous family , pretty much guaranteed that he would not be going to Viet Nam. There is no sin in being well-connected.. The same people who railed for 9 or 10 years about "integrity, truthfulness, honor, and duty, seem to have lost their way on this one.

He blithely shrugged off duty to country when less connected men that he leapfrogged, surely met their deaths in Viet Nam, and now he is reborn as "War President-Defender of Freedom".

He TOOK the constitutional right to send soldiers into battle, but he did not EARN the right to do it. He has managed to get thousands of Iraqis killed , has spilled the blood of and maimed thousands of OUR soldiers, and killed 537 (or more) US soldiers who did NOT shirk their duty..

He did this out of personal pique, or perhaps to prove that he was not inadequate. He did it in spite of the best of advice, and without much outside support.He had no plan for the aftermath of his actions, except the continued gutting of our treasury.


This man who blew into office like an F-5 Texas tornado,and claims to be a uniter,has divided our country more than ever, and the only uniting he has managed, is the rest of the world vs US... This is especially shameful, since the whole world was with us after the 9/11 catastrophe, and he threw their regard away like a used up kleenex..

The 2000 election is still eating at half of America,and it periodically regurgitates like bitter bile.

I hope that this story grows legs long enough that the Jolly Green Giant would have to look up to see the knees.

I am still dismayed that the press gave him such a free ride in 2000, but I guess late is better than never.. Thank you for finally airing out this dirty laundry..
