2. The fact that he has to talk about it means he was AWOL.

4. Yes, Postman. Some has called this Bush's "I am not a crook"
It's really more like his "I did not have sex with that woman"!

5. He should have had all the paperwork in a binder, and should
have handed Tim that binder right there on national TV. Would hae ended the thing right there. But there's the kicker, they can't be found. By his own admission, nobody can find them. Guess what, he's screwed on this one! He has lost a lot of credibility with veterans and the families of military members. They'll never look at him the same way, again.

10. He knew he was going to be asked.
He should have had the paper work right there. For 2 weeks people have been relentless on his military service. He knew it was coming. One other thing he wouldn't let the inspections go on and instead said that he was sick and tired of waiting. If the inspections continued they would have know that there were no weapons. He didn't want to know. He is a lier.

11. The army doesn't lose records
There are many ways to reconstruct records. They do it all the time for WW2 people who are asking for there medals. Many of the records lost in the fire have been reconstructed by the army for people. He could get them if he wanted to.

6. He had that look of false defiance
When Russert ask the question about AWOL, * had that look of defiance that I've seen before. Could you imagine being * and thinking sure I was AWOL because I couldn't pass the drug tests but having to pretend I "served my country" during Vietnam?

13. You Have Witnessed Bush's Bloodshot Eyes of Revenge.
Constantly justifing himself with: "God is on My side",

Bush's use of demeaning nicknames and the giddiness displayed

when intentionally mis-pronouncing personal names of those who

question him, only scratches the surface of this

paranoid malignant narcissistic sociopathic bully.

7. He Admitted There's No Evidence He Served
He's fucked on this issue. I never thought I'd see the day, I'm impressed that Russert brought it up, but he should have asked why he was grounded and why he missed his physical. This is good though.

9. No, never! And may I add...
Thank you Michael Moore and the Presidential candidate who took the heat for making this an issue.

A fellow can only hope, eh?

14. No, I sure didn't . Now I want to hear him explain his War before
a tribunal. Explain shock and awe, dead citizens, pulverized cities, American soldiers (children really) blown away, citizens homes being destroyed because they won't rat out their children, mother and fathers being arrested to intimidate and God knows what..

He, Cheney,Powell,Rumsfeld,Rice,Perle,Wolfowitz,under oath in front of a world court..that will be my next dream,because they surely are coming true now.
