KLP, As far as I know, it was only Bill that went to Russia. I'm not sure he had connected with Hillary at that time.
If Bush did receive some special treatment while in the National Guard, there is nothing new about that. There were many instances, for over 100 years, where the Sons of politicians were given special treatment, even if no one asked for it. The brass in the military, are very close to being politicians themselves, and have been known to suck up to those in office in preparation for their own future. IMO, Bush was enlisted in the Guard, and was ready to go into battle if his number had been called. There is not an ounce of cowardice in his blood. He has proved that by running a no nonsense administration, in spite of spirited liberal opposition.
I'm sure, someone will say that getting into a war is nonsense, but Saddam had to be ousted. He was a threat, not only to the rest of the world, but to the Middle East, as well, not to mention that he was a mass murderer.
Oh, Hillary can lead, but it would be leading something akin to a lynch mob. She, certainly, knows how to throw ash trays, and lamps, around a room. Also, I believe that she is very adept at planning a murder, and having it carried out. There are still a few people in Arkansas that can verify that, but many like them died of mysterious causes. |
