well stompy... i applaud your clearheaded perspective on the issue, but...

if Bush did say that he did not receive help from powerful officials to avoid the war, then he had better not have. if it is proven that he did, then i think that is a serious lie that he should be accountable for.

this issue has been explored before. trust me, if there were real meat on this bone... it would have come up long before now. it just cracks me up how people will put up AWOL stickers or clutch onto any bit of gossip they can get their hands on, no matter that it has no factual basis in reality. the truth really doesn't matter much anymore.

i'm getting too cynical for my own good.
