Look at the White House defending their chickenhawks. LOL

On Tuesday, Kerry's campaign continued to push the issue with a four-page document that asked whether Bush used connections to get into the Texas Air National Guard during the war, why Bush requested not to be sent overseas, why Bush has not proven he reported for duty in 1972 and why the Pentagon (news - web sites) is under orders not to discuss Bush's record with reporters.

Cheney received five student and marriage deferments of service during the war.

Bush campaign spokeswoman Nicolle Devenish said Kerry is "doing exactly what he said he would never do, 'divide America over who served and how.'"

"John Kerry has not detailed a credible alternative to President Bush's decisive leadership in the war on terror and his record on defense and security measures raises serious questions about his judgment," Devenish said. "Instead of explaining his record, John Kerry has turned to political attacks on the president."

McClellan said Kerry had a "commendable record of service in the military" that no one is questioning, but the spokesman refused to condemn criticism by Bush adviser Karen Hughes, who said Kerry misled Americans by "pretending" to throw his medals away when he returned from Vietnam.

Asked whether Bush stood by that line of criticism, McClellan said, "The president is focusing on the issues and the policy differences, not what happened 30, 40 years ago." He refused to say whether Kerry's role in the anti-war movement is relevant to the election.

The Bush campaign is spending $10 million on a television ad campaign that (*falsely) accuses Kerry of opposing vital weapons. The Kerry campaign solicited donations in response to the ads.

LOL. Bushies are all chickenhawk liars.

Now that we know about the "secret" navy, it's days are numbered. Technology has probably already pinpointed each ship's location.

I'm not so sure about that Ann.

Read the article by William Langawieschie that I posted a few posts back. A long article, but a very good read. Originally published in Atlantic Monthly.

It's pretty scary stuff.
