It's time to revisit Bush's military record.

Moore says, “… they [TV news personalities] have created the brouhaha
over Bush's military record, often without telling their audience what
the exact charges are. It seems all they want to do is to get Clark or
me -- or you -- to shut up. ‘We have never investigated this and so we
want you to apologize for bringing it up!’”

Moore continues, “Well, I'm glad they have gone nuts over it. Because
here we have a Commander-in-Chief --who just took off while in uniform
to go work for some Republican friend of his dad's -- now sending our
kids over to Iraq to die while billions [of dollars] are promised to
Halliburton and the oil companies. Twenty percent of them are National
Guard and Reserves (and that number is expected to double during the
year). They have been kept in Iraq much longer than promised, and they
have not been given the proper protection. They are sitting ducks.”

Clark and Kerry, two combat veterans are running for the presidency of
the United States. Now is a good time for an open, public, and repeated
review of Bush's disgraceful military record. The American people have
the right to know what kind of cowardly Commander-in-Chief occupies the
White House. And if the likes of Peter Jennings, Dan Rather and Tom
Brokaw lack the moral fiber and journalistic integrity to tell our
fellow citizens the truth about those in power then, friends, it is up
to the rest of us to do their jobs for them!

Breaking news story (02/01/04):
The New York Times website posted Democratic Party Chief Attacks Bush on
Military Record. Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, is quoted at an interview on the ABC News program “This
Week,,” saying, “I look forward to that debate when John Kerry, a war
hero with a chest full of medals, is standing next to George Bush, a man
who was AWOL in the Alabama National Guard,” Mr. McAuliffe said in an
interview on the ABC News program This Week. “George Bush never served
in our military in our country. He didn't show up when he should have
showed up. And there's John Kerry on the stage with a chest full of
medals that he earned by saving the lives of American soldiers. So, as
John Kerry says, ‘Bring it on!’”
