More hard evidence that the Swift Boat Vets are lying
I want to thank David Corn for finding this story to prove the lies of Swift Boat liars. This is the kind of work that our national media should be doing, not sitting around playing Suzi Stenopad for the “He said. She said” crowd.
These SBV Liars have no honor. I thought honor was part of the soldier’s code. Telling the truth about what was happening in Vietnam took courage and he was honoring the men who died. Lying to protect the men who took us to that war or any war that is not necessary, is the dishonorable thing to do.
George W. Bush has no sense of Honor. He puts politics before honoring the dead. What kind of people let him slide on this? I would think that even the most craven Republican would understand that attending their funerals (at least ONE for goodness sake) is the right thing to do, polling be damned. I’m sure if they wanted to they could spin it, but they don’t want to spend their “political capital” with something that hints of failure.
What kind of man asks another man to die to protect his country, but can’t be bothered to go to his funeral?
Is a photo of the president attending a fallen soldier’s funeral so shaming to him politically that he won’t put perceived politics aside and just do what’s right? He prances with live soldiers and plays it like he is "protecting their privacy" with the dead ones. If I died for this man, the least he could do would be to comfort my family in public. Maybe he could even send the VP. Does Cheney attend any funerals? Rumsfield? Rice? Does any one in that White House go, or are all they so cowed by what they think are the consequences that they hide in the shadows of the dead? How about Scott McClellen? Maybe it would be harder to lie for this guy when you have to talk to the families up close when they are crying over their dead husband, brother and son.
Bush should be shamed into attending. He puts politics before honoring the dead. That the military lets him get away with this must just gall them to no end. What kind of commander does this? Not one that should be trusted with running the country.
