deserter in chief

[rone]

(via ratphooey) I'm not Michael Moore's biggest fan, but you should read this. Money quote (from MoveOn.org):

Bush was apparently absent without official leave from his assigned military service for as little as seven months (New York Times) or as much as 17 months (Boston Globe) during a time when 500,000 American troops were fighting the Vietnam War. The Army defines a "deserter" — also known as a DFR, for "dropped from rolls" — as one who is AWOL 31 days or more.

I don't see how anyone can vote, in good conscience, for George W. Bush given this information, added to all of the things he's done. If he's done such a good thing for Iraq, he can go run for president there. We don't want him here anymore.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. By 'willingness to do things' I mean unlike Clinton who just mouthed empty platitudes whenever more American soldiers died and then fired off a few missiles when things got heated

Uhh. Do you wanna run a count of how many American soldiers died during 8 years of Clinton versus 3 years of Bush? You can also look up anti-terrorism efforts during Clinton's second term versus the first year and a half of Bush.
