[Rhodes22-list] Political/warin Iraq.

Steve,

If only you could read as fast as you type you might be able to stop spreading these completely untrue tales.

Obviously, you did not read W.s service records.  They do not show he completed his service and duty, and he has made no claim to the contrary.

What he does say is that he cannot remember who he reported to in Alabama, that he has no recollection of who he met who could vouch for the fact he was there, that he can't recall who he reported to, that he knows he couldn't have been flying while he was there, because he admits he never showed up for his required physical while he was in Texas, but he's not sure what he actually did do while he was in Alabama.

BUT -- and here's the hooker -- BUT he can show us his honorable discharge papers so he MUST have been there.

Now, I'm not taking on a position on that, because I was not there, myself.

All I'm asking is why you were willing to give W. the benefit of the doubt last week, and now you're trying to round up a lynch mob for people doing exactly the same thing this week?  Last week you opposed flip-flops.  This week they're OK?

Bill
Bush has release his records and they show he
completed his service and duty.

However, Kerry has NOT release his records.  Whats
your boy hiding.  Face it, Kerry is an unpatiotic,
seft serving, deferrment to our society.  Funny thing
is that he can't present the facts to anything.  He
can't even remember all the different stories he tell
the media. It really is a sad thing that the
democratic party couldn't pick a better canditate.
