By Matt Hurley for the TIB Network:
I just posted a
rebuttal/fisking to an editorial by Martin Gottlieb of the
Dayton Daily News over at GCJ. Gottlieb is guilty of projecting his own Vietnam issues on to President Bush and considers him a "draft dodger." I don't let him get away with that. Here is one of the juicier bits:
Bush volunteered to go to Vietnam in a program called "Palace Alert" but was told that he didn't have enough flight experience at the time. It also turned out that the plane he was certified to fly was being phased out of service. In my email exchange with Mr. Gottlieb, Martin wasn't too impressed with this because it has been reported that Bush merely "inquired" about the program. Riddle me this: Why would a guy who is trying to take the easy way out of Vietnam "inquire" about serving in Vietnam?
...
How can you trust John Kerry? If Vietnam is your hot-button issue, how can you trust a man with such a history?
Much has been written about Bush and his time in the Texas Air National Guard. Many of these "journalists" have accused the President of having been "AWOL" or a "deserter." Mr. Gottlieb seems to think Bush was some sort of "draft dodger."
Why won't anyone ask John Kerry the tough questions about HIS service? Mr. Gottlieb?
Read the whole
thing.
John Kerry Delenda Est!
