DNC claim: 'Bush Lied! Air National Guard isn't part of the Air Force" (USAF: it is)

#10  Only an absolute idiot would continue to flail this dead horse.

Then I expect the Democrats to keep beating it until the 2008 elections.

#9  Prediction: the next DNC talking point, "120 days? That doesn't count! It's only 4 months!"

I've got a beer that says they're gullible enough to walk right into this one. :)

#8  What would a bunch of civilian wusses at the DNC know? You're right CS. Drudge found a Statement of Understanding signed by George W. Bush 27 May 1968. It reads in part :
In connection with my enlistment in the Reserve of the Air Force for service in the Air National Guard of the United States, I understand and agree that:
a.I will enter on active duty for training for 120 days or until I have satisfactorly completed the courses I have elected .
There was a copy of a DD214 on another thread that shows that W. did in fact serve that active duty time. Only an absolute idiot would continue to flail this dead horse.

#7  When you go to Basic Training (we zoomies call boot camp that) you are on active duty Air Force. I think you remain on active service until you complete technical training. I think we are splitting hairs here but that's what the Dems are attempting to do. No legs, gone in the 24-hour news cycle.

#6  Then what is this? (Hatip Matt Drudge)

Bush

But of course we have to be "suspicious" (he he he ). The future President signed his full middle name, and the form only shows his initial.

#5  Drudge is posting a doc showing Bush on active duty at an Air Force base (http://www.drudgereport.com/bush.pdf). How long until someone goes on about this being a forgery?

#4  ...Kerry is talking to the GA? I am very surprised they haven't yanked his invitation yet. Without the Guard and Reserve, USAF gets almost no tanker or transport support. Kinda hard to move anywhere without them - I'm looking forward to seeing Kerry's reception.

#1  Jebus, that is just SO Farkin' Lame!

I can't wait until Kerry's speech at the Guard Association Convention in Vegas, Thursday. I've a feeling the keel is going to be punched out of his campaign.
