Al, If bush's daughters were in the military his disposition to send us to war would be tempered by a LOT of patience with inspections. Turning your logic around, if Bush's daughters were in the Twin Towers when it fell, he would have never bothered with inspections in the first place. There's no point in bringing the Bush daughters into this, for every parent is obviously going to be biased in protecting their own children, no matter what choices they make or what situations they find themselves in.

RE:"Take my word for that. If bush's daughters were in the military his disposition to send us to war would be tempered by a LOT of patience with inspections." You forget that this is a volunteer army. Granted, some joined because of all the bennies they could get but that's not always the only way it goes. Sometimes you have to go to war. The army for Viet Nam was a drafted Army. A President sending a "non free-will" army off to a war they couldn't or wouldn't win is a much different story.
