"With Bush On 9/11" New York Times July 9, 2004 To the Editor: Re "Moore's Public Service," by Paul Krugman (column, July 2): I am not sure where Paul Krugman and Michael Moore were on 9/11, but I was with President Bush for almost two hours. As commander of the 8th Air Force, I was present when President Bush stopped to deliver a message to the American people at Barksdale Air Force Base. Throughout my career, I have seen the best and the worst of people under extreme pressure. President Bush arrived at Barksdale deeply saddened and obviously concerned, but he was a man on a mission, courageous and decisive. He was totally in command. I have kept relatively quiet about my experiences with the president on 9/11, but I cannot sit back and allow Hollywood and the media to rewrite history. I was there, and I consider myself a good judge of leadership. We were fortunate that President Bush was our commander in chief on 9/11. Lieutenant General Thomas J. Keck USAF (Ret) Tucson, July 5, 2004

Kerry leads Bush in newest poll from Newsweek... No other poll shows Bush leading or even tied. LOL. You mean THIS Newsweek? *The Vice Squad* John Edwards may win in a popularity contest against Dick Cheney, but the two campaigns are tied as Bush’s approval ratings climb back up WEB EXCLUSIVE By Brian Braiker Newsweek Updated: 1:44 p.m. ET July 10, 2004July 10 - Although the John Kerry campaign enjoyed a rush of positive media coverage after announcing that John Edwards would be the Democratic candidate’s running mate, it is still locked in a dead heat with the Republican ticket, according to the first NEWSWEEK poll conducted since Edwards was tapped. Nearly 70 percent of all voters believe the selection of Edwards won’t make much difference in the outcome of the election, according to the poll. The survey also found that more voters think President George W. Bush will be re-elected than think Kerry will take the White House. msnbc.msn.com
