There is much better reason now to be scrutinizing those National Guard records than there was in 2000. The reason is because it is now documented (with more and more evidence damning the administration coming out weekly) that this president has also been less than truthful with the American people with the most serious issues a president ever deals with: going to war.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Bush administration played loose with the intelligence facts about the Hussein regime. It is certain that his administration dangerously and recklessly exposed the identity of an active CIA agent to silence their most formidable war critic, the former ambassador to Iraq who is married to that agent.

Those sorts of craven political acts are indefensible, and the Bush administration knows it, because they have been forced to accept that as more and more of their antics becomes public knowledge, the lower Bush's ratings go in the polls, which is the only thing this White House cares about.

As an American voter though, I'm not just angry at the Bush adminsitration. I'm angry at the Americans like Whistle Stop and Butch, who keep trying to justify and defend the depraved actions of the worst president in US history.
