Kerry spent 120+ days in hot zone combat conditions (beyond anything in Iraq these days) without a break. He and his men were shot at constantly. He is credited with 20+ enemy kills, took three wounds and saved many lives. His won the Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. His offer's reports were exemplary, sterling and proof that he was more than worthy of his medals. Prior to the 120 days up the Mekong he served honorably, including with an air craft carrier escort. Meanwhile, Bush went AWOL the entire year of 1972 and left the Guard 8 months early after jumping over a 150 man waiting list to get into the champagne no-action draft-dodgers unit to begin with. He further refused to take his mandatory drug test and was rumored to have been arrested for cocaine in 1972. Cheney dodged the draft using 5 deferrments in a row. Delay did the same. Limbaugh did the same. That is what we mean by CHICKENHAWK. THose who avoided war have no right to be criticizing our real combat heros, including McCain, Cleland and Kerry, all of whom they have slandered.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Fighting in the Mekong Delta is not he same as sitting in the White House on Cheney's lap and saying that he is leading the country. How the hell can people feel proud of this man after we watched him at his latest press conference. How do you call him a leader when he chickens out to go it alone in front of the 9/11 Commission? I have never, repeat never seen a US President so damn dependent on others and not having the ability to be the leader providing that vision etc. And I do not understand how you come on this thread defending him This man just cannot talk. When asked about whether he consulted his father, an ex-President he says he talked to higher father. What nonsense is this. Even Clinton would consult with his father on matters of National importance. Thsi President is a sick man when he talks this way when asked about his father. Wrong messaqg to our kids.
