Both former President Bush and Mr. Dole are honorable. And Mr. Bush has personal knowledge of such smears. The bomber Mr. Bush piloted was shot down in 1944. He bailed out, but the two others in the plane, Ted White and John Delaney, were killed.

<<<Then in the 1988 campaign, a tail-gunner on another plane on the same bombing mission accused Mr. Bush of having been a coward and causing Mr. White's and Mr. Delaney's deaths. A couple of others on the mission backed this accusation, claiming that Mr. Bush could have tried a water landing rather than consigning the others to their deaths.>>>

This is the incident I mentioned a few days ago about the Press looking at George Sr's WW2 record.

Only the most diabolical, inhuman, mean spirited man like Mr Kristol would bring up the crash of a shot-up,fire-engulfed airplane 60 years ago and connect it somehow to a Presidential campaign in 2004.

With implications that Bush purposely consigned 2 men to their deaths, as tho somehow GHWB could himself put the fire out before the plane exploded or land the plane on the water where it probably would have disintegrated or sunk immediately.

I am incensed that such human garbage follows along the trail of a Presidential election like the spoor of a sick elephant.
