What's with CNN

[PaDUer]

doing a show about POPS right now?

[Clark Can WIN]

1. It's part of their

ongoing Bush family love fest.

2. It's disgusting..

making him out to be in such danger..Can you imagine how sexed up this show is? I wonder IF any of the other guys who were with him during this time are going to speak out..Let's hope they do. I think I remember reading somewhere last year sometime that some guys were big time PO'd that he was lying his ass off..

4. It is about

the third or fourth time they have aired it. I didn't watch the first time nor the second or third. Surely they could have rerun some Laci and Scott or Michael Jackson. That is about their speed. It is strictly political. CNN owes its soul to Bushco.

3. they make him out a hero

But I read somewhere that he bailed out, abandoning his fellow airmen. Typical bushit.

5. And of course all while their family was helping Hitler...

THAT story came out delyed only 60 YEARS!

[PaDUer]

6. Yep, that's what I heard..

and those other guys were really upset..wonder if they're going to speak up again..they should put these pukes in their place once and for all..watch them make the moron a hero also for his stint in the military--that would be the ultimate..I'd have to throw a stone at the tv!!

7. George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography

George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin

Excerpt...complete chapter, click http://www.tarpley.net/bush6.htm

"In this account, there is no more mention of White and Delaney until Bush hit the water and began looking around for them. Bush says that it was only after having been rescued by the USS Finnback, a submarine, that he "learned that neither Jack Delaney nor Ted White had survived. One went down with the plane; the other was seen jumping, but his parachute failed to open." The Hyams account of 1991 was written after an August 1988 interview with Chester Mierzejewski, another member of Bush's squadron, had raised important questions about the haste with which Bush bailed out, rather than attempting a water landing. Mierzejewski's account, which is summarized below, contradicted Bush's own version of these events, and hinted that Bush might have abandoned his two crewmembers to a horrible and needless death. The Hyams account, which is partly intended to refute Mierzejewski, develops as follows:


...Bush was piloting the third plane over the target, with Moore flying on his wing. He nosed over into a thirty-degree glide, heading straight for the radio tower. Determined to finally destroy the tower, he used no evasive tactics and held the plane directly on target. His vision ahead was occasionally cancelled by bursts of black smoke from the Japanese antiaircraft guns. The plane was descending through thickening clouds of flak pierced by the flaming arc of tracers.

There was a sudden flash of light followed by an explosion. "The plane was lifted forward, and we were enveloped in flames," Bush recalls. "I saw the flames running along the wings where the fuel tanks were and where the wings fold. I thought, This is really bad! It's hard to remember the details, but I looked at the instruments and couldn't see them for the smoke."

Don Melvin, circling above the action while waiting for his pilots to drop their bombs and get out, thought the Japanese shell had hit an oil line on Bush's Avenger. "You could have seen that smoke for a hundred miles."

8. What does 'I confess I acted like a sissy & cried' tell u about character

I had CNN on for a few minutes and saw Bush reading the postcard he sent to his parents after 2 of his cohorts died. He said "I confess I acted a bit like a sissy as I sat in the boat and cried".

Strikes me as utterly self-absorbed and deeply callous. I don't mean that he refers to crying as sissy. The comment seems grossly shallow after 2 human beings you knew just died.
