Bush military records 'destroyed'

If you ask me, there are a few "accidents" too many in this administration.
 
F*cking foreigners.

You guys are too damn cynical. See, that's what this administration boldly stands up against -- cynicism. Bush is hopeful for a democratic Iraq, a safe Iraq, a free Iraq. Bush is optimistic for a thriving domestic economy, keeping the homeland safe and free. Bush is for America -- no apologies.

It's like they say: a conservative wakes up thinking of each day as the Fourth of July; Liberals wake up each day (in the late afternoon) thinking it's April 15th.

Too right, that`s why he spent all those billions of dollars, just to give them democracy...he`s good like that. Thing is, it's just a bit too much like Saddam's democracy there at the moment.
But, here's a question: when is the US army going to invade again to bring "freedom" to the people of Iraq?

Seems the Philippines are pulling their 51 troops out of the "mother of all coalitions" as Rumsfeld would say...drip, drip, drip...

Yeah, what with all those people getting killed for expressing different political viewpoints. And the ethnic cleansing campaigns against Kurdish civilians. And the draining of the marshes in the south. And the fact that hospitals are all run as "self-funding" institutions, teachers were paid a few dollars a month. And the amputations and mutilations used as punishment...

Oh wait, Iraq DOES have a free press now, there aren't any ethnic cleansing campaigns, the marshes are being reflooded, hospitals are actually free to civilians for the first time in decades, teachers are paid living wages, and amputees are getting prosthetic limbs rather than people losing real ones.

I'm confused... how is it still like Saddam's "democracy"? Well, they're still muslims, does that count for you?

You're a worm, demon.

Bush's M.O. for dealing with his past:

1) Hide records in daddy's library

2) Seal records by legal manuever

3) When choice 1 or 2 fail, LOSE those suckers.


Let's all sing the 'O, O, O, Obstruction of Justice' song.
 
Seems like some people like to read headlines and not the whole article:

It added that in 1996 and 1997 the microfilm records of "numerous service members" from the first quarter of 1969 and the third quarter of 1972 were ruined - Mr Bush's among them.

So did Bush build a time machine to go and destroy those records 3 years before he became president?

I wonder what Bush was up to in 1996/1997?

The US has shut down a few newspapers since invading Iraq. That's not "free."


hospitals are actually free to civilians for the first time in decades,

Actually, under Saddam, Iraqis had free health care.

Do you actually know of anyone that called Saddam's regime a democracy? I sure as hell don't, and I even know a few Baathists.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Those guys who had limbs chopped off by Saddam were not charged anything for this service.

Good call, Cleon. We always need to be reminded of the bright side of things.

Yep, and he found a zippo lighter too. Bad dog;)

Planning a run for president, perhaps? Maybe getting a team together - or having one come to him - that would spot this slight problem from the Vietnam era? Who knows?

The microfilm containing the records apparently disintegrated as staff were trying to preserve it from decay."

It`s the way they tell`m...wonder why I`m not laughing though.
 
For those implying that Bush was somehow involved in the destruction of these records, how about providing some evidence.

Oh my Ed - I would never have thought of that! :)

You might have a point there, but at that time a president was in office who was a deserter and people had no problem with that, so why go through so much?

Obivously he meant Sunni muslims and by healthcare he didnt mean western quality. You assume way too much.

Did Mr. Clinton enjoy eating desserts? No doubt. Oh, wait, you mean a deserter from the military. Right. Except for one small problem...
