Capitol Hill Blue columnist McTavish calls * a Deserter!
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4013.shtml

From Deserter to Commander-in-Chief
By WILLIAM D. McTAVISH

As Campaign 2004 continues to heat up, George W. Bush finds himself under scrutiny for what he did or did not do while avoiding military service in Vietnam.

<snip>

I requested copies of Bush’s military records as well as the records of the guard units in Houston and Alabama from May 1972 through May 1973 and went through them page by page. I could not find any record of Bush attending any guard meetings during that period nor were there records of him performing any service for either unit.

<snip>

So the man who kissed off his military obligations 32 years ago and let others fight and die in his place later became President of the United States and ordered still others to fight and die.

Which is a disgrace for those young men and women who have died in Iraq.

It’s one thing to fight and die for your country. It’s something else to do it for a deserter.

2. CHB is Right Wing/Libertarian
and generally pissed off at the world. Looks like Mr. Bush is starting to get it from both sides.
