Al Gore, the pathetic, whining ecology prophet...
Having read the post guessing that it must be rhetorical.
Al Gore voluntarily enlisted in the Army and served in Vietnam -- as an Army journalist. Gore's act reveals his inner sense of family loyalty, destiny, responsibility -- and politics.
Bush used his family connections to get into Yale and to succeed in the oil and baseball biz. But there's something different, and more disgusting, about pulling family strings to avoid war service -- especially when your father supported the war.
One could call it being a hypocrite that would maybe be a little strong? Nah it think it fits quiet well.
Bush joined the Texas Air National Guard strictly because he "wanted to fly jets," as he says. Well at the time the Air Force and Navy, were hiring, I wonder why he didnt just join; maybe afraid he would Get hurt?
[Here are a few of George the seconds famous quips.]
[I am the war President! said President Bush during his first term in office.]
[ I am a uniter, not a divider! said President Bush.]
[Hold the coarse.]
[And if course Mission accomplished.]
[/ This week ,After thirty-five years he finally made it in country, Viet Nam at last, a little late I would say. I]
The following was one building Mr. Bush zipped past, is the Military History Museum, where a giant sculpture is made of the broken fuselages and wings of downed French and American aircraft.
The place was close and empty when Mr. Bush and his colleagues were meeting, but had he stopped by he would have heard a pretty one-sided account of the December 1972 bombing of Hanoi, and seen photographs of a troubled President Lyndon Johnson.
Lets see around that date the president was applying to the Texas Air National Guard, so I guess he lucked out on that mission-accomplished didnt he?
So go ahead and do your swift boating of Al Gore, it seems to me that it is the whining of people that got run over by the American people in the last election.
I imagine it will be the same in 2008 so get used to whining, more than likely will be whining for at least forty years. Maybe more, seeing as we learned a bit in the 12 years that the Neo-Cons have had the reins.
What is more important, is that the American people have been able in the to see what incompetencey is in a presidency. The present occupant of the White House will go down as the gold standard of incompetence, as will all of his administration.
