Man, this guy Bush has a history with the bottle. He does not have the first hand experience of war like Kerry, MaCain and Hagel does, neither does he have a record of academic performance and a intelligent thought process that Clinton exhibited during his student days. Interesting how the Dems place so much emphasis now on military expierence and "first hand experience of war." Seems to me Bill Clinton had absolutely zippedy "first hand experience of war" and his challenger, Sen. Bob Dole, was a WWII veteran who was permanently injured as a result of his service. I don't recall anyone criticizing Clinton at the time for a lack of "first hand experience of war." Kerry couldn't wait to get out of the Mekong Delta and served only 4 months over there. There were plenty others who served their full tour of duty and even some who re-upped for another year in-country. Makes one question his commitment to the service of his country. As for Bush's drinking, that was long ago. The man doesn't drink and hasn't for some time. Watch what you say on that issue - AA has over 2.0 million members, per their web site. That's a potent voting block.

They are totally lame, what on gods green earth does the history of the Democratic party have to do with Kerry and is piss poor voting record on defense and intelligence? And now you are calling the president names, which reveals the weakness of your position. And whatever spec of credibility clarke had, is now completely gone, given his discussion with the press in 2002, where he detailed: - The Clinton administration had no plan to deal with Al Qaeda and did not turn a plan over to the bush adminsitration - The clinton adminstration had a strategy, which the Bush administration developed a plan, enhanced it and implemented it (The policy of rollback of al qaeda was changed to one of elimination) - The Bush admin decided to increase the funding 5 fold to go after Al Qaeda All of which are counter to his statements on 60 minutes.
