2. its not mapes or rather that lied. those documents may very well be

authentic. their mistake is they didnt have PROOF of it. nothing to do with DESPITE them.

and yes, bush is still a liar and coward. he knows those docs are real and he knows he is a POS.

3. Don' t you wish the same journalist standard was used on the SBVT

Where pointing out 100s of lies, led to investigating the next 100 things because something could be true.

4. He deserted his unit to avoid a drug test

Plain and simple. He turned his back on his teammates and walked out the door, denigrating the capability of that unit to meet mission (hard to believe that losing him would denigrate anything.) I am well versed in the accounting procedures for reservists in the 70's. The paper trail goes on and on and on. There can be no doubt he deserted. And a lack of leadership allowed him to get away with it.

5. EVERYBODY knows that he is a deserter. What kind of a country

allows such people to hold political offices?

6. Another under-reported story. nt

8. I seriously believe that this administration needs to be

put in front of a tribunal to answer for their crimes. It's the only way that those who have suffered under them can have justice and maybe reparations made to them.
