james t. kirk - the democrats did in fact try to make political hay out of Bush's service but it ended up being a dead end. you're kidding yourself if you think Bush personally is making any sort of political statement about senator kerry's service. he has repeatedly stated that he honors and respects kerry's service in vietnam. this isn't debatable... it's a matter of public record. if the democrats are taking the high road (now) then they are taking the same road that Bush is.
Ralvek - that is speculation. it may be your personal opinion that every one of the hundreds of swiftvets who put their integrity on the line for their cause is an outright liar... but that is your interpretation of the issue and not fact. if it were as cut and dry as you seem to think it is... it wouldn't be worth having the discussion we are engaged in.
