"Nice one chaps, can't attack the evidence, can't attack the logic, so attack the person making the comments that blows your arguements to smithereens."

Hi Teribus. No personal attack on my part. I am listening very
carefully to what you say. So far, I haven't delivered an
ad hominem argument. I respect your opinions although I don't agree with them.




FACT - Was there any charge of being absent without leave ever raised with repect to Lt. George W. Bush's service in the Air National Guard? - NO.

Counterfact: Yes. But it was not done by Bush's personal connections who suceeded in covering it up.

FACT - Did Lt. George W. Bush apply for early release from his six year term of engagement, after having been "in" for five years, four months and five days? - YES

CounterFact: And did he do it because he had a special pull as the
president's son? Yes.

FACT - Was that request put through official channels and was it approved? - YES, his remaining time was spent in a reserve unit of the ANG. Were such requests uncommon and were such request normally denied? - NO

CounterFact: These requests are reserved for the army elite. Those who have special political dispensation. It happens all the time. The army is not an egalitarian or democratic organization. It plays
favorites all the time and Bush got his share of them.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well Teribus.
