Where are Bush's medals of honor? And his record of service for his last year? Answer: Bush didn't receive any medals. There's no record of service the last year because Bush did not serve it.

I'm told that ribbons were used on casual uniforms to represent the medals and that medals themselves were used on dress uniforms. I think Kerry protests too much here. He pretended to throw over his own medals and got caught in a lie. Now he's accusing everyone else of heinous conduct when the truth is he got caught in a lie. Why is that surprising? He planned a run for the Presidency from his youth. Although his first foray into politics was unsuccessful when he ran as a vet, (thereby prompting him to morph into an anti-war standard bearer to get the visibility necessary to launch his political career), he knew that he'd want to have his medals down the road. Anyone who thinks he didn't deliberately retain his own medals and pretend to throw them is rather naive, IMO. Kerry is Mr. Opportunist and a spin meister deluxe. He puts the depends what you mean by is comment to shame.
