As previously pointed out a few pages ago, it says:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) - U.S. Army, 1951-1953.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If it were honest, it would say of GW Bush
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President GW Bush, TXANG, 1968-1973
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but instead it says,
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GW Bush - decided that a six-year Nat'l Guard commitment really means four years. Still says that he's "been to war." Huh?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Ted Kennedy enlisted in the Army in '51, he signed up for four years after being expelled from Harvard for cheating. His father, Ambassador to the UK, pulled strings to get his four year stint shortened to two, and had him serve in Europe rather than combat service in Korea. The future Senator never rose above the rank of Private, and returned to school at Harvard, where he was a "c" Student.

So in order to be intellectually honest, those who hate GW for a connected slide thru a military service term should attack Kennedy as voraciously.

  I dunno about that... I was over at CDHQ during that time frame.  I struck me to be far more a problem of poor training and poor leadership CFLCC than poor planning.

Morning!

While I wait for the shop to open, Its MOT time on my girlfreinds bike.

I was reading this.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4303629.stm

Seems Things are going swimmingly in the New democracy as usual.

I have to ask what have our nations done realy apart from add more instability to an already unstable region?

You seem to be taking some measure of pleasure from this news.  I hope this is not the case.

Of course he does.  He could care less about the terrorists killing civilians.  He gets an erection every time the terrorists kill someone.

Nope.  You can say what you'd like, but your posts tell the story.  You aren't fooling anyone.

My observation was dead on.

Most people in here argue discuss and present their view. sometimes forcefully sometimes close to the mark. But usualy with a degree of respect.

You on the other hand!

That remark was way out of line and causes considerable offense. Take a long hard look in the mirror.

That remark was dead on.   It bothers you so much because you know it's true.

You should go back and read half the crap you post.  THEN take a long hard look in the mirror.

You crossed the line of personal insult.  Learn to read properly not selectively.

Nothing more to add as far as you are concerned you can go and swim in it pal.

Of course you don't have anything more to add.

You've been exposed.  Pick up your toys and spread your hatred in another thread.
