The draft-dodging coward Rove sure is a brave republican
when it comes to sending Americans to do what he refused to do - fight for his country.

Bush, Cheney, Rove, Delay, Hastert, Frist, Limbaugh, O'Rielly, Bauer, Falwell, Bolton, Wolfowitz, and company are all draft dodgers, yet they
try to paint themselves as brave patriots fighting terrorism. Democrats, more of whom actually fought for their country, are pacifist weenies. Time to start spreading the chickenhawk list again.

who dodged the draft because of a persistent zit on his anus.

6. They really have been able to pull a fast one on the public
haven't they! Actually, a run down of those in the senate who have served in the military has the Republicans coming up short. Oh yeah, their real hawks aren't they.

13. GW Bush proudly defended American airspace from a surprise....
Vietnamese air attack across Texas' southern border. The Glorious Brave Airman even threw himself on all the booze, drugs, and prostitutes that he could to protect our servicemen shipping out to Vietnam.
