pssstt...LH....VietNam was a long time ago....you are engaging in what YOU defined as smear!

You are very selective in what you call smear and what you call spin. Your guy spins...the other guy smears.....

A preliminary investigation is an investigation....

I was around during Viet Nam....going into the National Guard or the Reserves...first was very hard to do....it was a way to avoid going to Viet Nam. My brother-in-law at the time did it (you had to use clout to get in...my bil had a dad who was a state cop.) To call GW's enlistment anything other than draft dodging is pure BS.....but I am sure you classify that as a smear....ancient history that has been hashed over.....

But of course in the word of VP Cheney..."I had better things to do..."

How can you not call Kerry's military service smear? It was longer ago than Bush failure as an oilman????
