Bush describes the scene as a combat zone.
Why? I have no idea, what did he expect to see on an air-force base?
Maybe he shouldn't of been AWOL back in the day.
At 5:08
Bush states he gets into a vehicle.
And this kid is driving, him, the President, at like 100 mph. Really?
Finally Bush tells the kid, "Slow down, Al Quaeda is not here"
(Bush smiles as he has just told a joke)

Well then sir, if you want to get technical, I was the average airman, since my job specialty was in the aviation field and I had not been considered a seaman since boot camp in 1987. And since, sir, that you are unable to bid by the T&C of ATS for civility and the specific warning posted about insults/ derogatory name calling by the site owner, I respectfully suggest you refrain from posting in this forum.

No, you still wouldn't be an airman. If you were really in the navy and serving in the aviation field you would have a naval designation describing your job title. What I am referring to is this, no prior service member wouldnt flub what his branch is referred to as,and an ex navy person would know not to refer to themselves as a soldier, oh wait he meant airman. IE Soldiers are Army, Marines are USMC, airmen are Air Force, and Seamen are Navy. If you can't or couldn't understand what I was getting at, that still makes your background suspect, because a real prior service member IE an ex army guy wouldn't say he was an airman, a prior marine wouldn't say they were a soldier, a prior airman wouldn't say they were a seaman, and a prior seaman wouldn't refer to themselves as a soldier. Its pride in the branch that you served in. And please, just because I called you out on your misrepresentation of yourself, don't mean you gotta go pull the T&C card. Its childish. Might as well say I'm gonna tell mommy and daddy on you.
Edit to add- I believe you pulled a lil snippet of what the poster said, created a history for yourself, so you could appear to be speaking from a position of authority. As well as trying to gain respect by announcing that you were prior service.edit on 6-9-2011 by itbenickp because: (no reason given)edit on 6-9-2011 by itbenickp because: (no reason given)

One of my former commanding officers now wears a Purple Heart as a result of Flight 77 impacting the Pentagon near his office. He survived that day, several others in his office did not...real people with real families.
A friend lost her niece in the North Tower...a real person, with a real family
Several friends of mine used to ride RAGBRAI with members of the FDNY who died that day
....again, real people with real families.
Your so-called evidence would fetch a fine price as a rich fertilizer. Its full of nothing but lies.

Let me get this straight, on the day of the worst terrorist attack in history
Don't forget Obama never served a day in the military, never held a job outside government work, doubled President Bush's eight year debt in only two and a half, but yeah, that's bash President Bush.

If your going to complain about Obama at least get your facts straight. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. How did he double Bush's debt? He put everything on the books something Bush wasn't doing. Now let's talk about Bush's private sector work and how every company he was given to run he ran into the ground. Then suddenly everything turned around that's what happened when the Saudi's started backing him just like they did dear old dad.edit on 6-9-2011 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)
Of course a few dates are adjusted and details are omitted to protect the safety of the misguided individuals who will try to find me

So what safety issues would be involved in researching ya? Homeland security will knocked on my door and call me a terrorist? Will I be disappeared or suicided? Just wondering why that disclaimer is in there. It would make anyone pause and think. Btw just wondering, what's a DD form 2?

Anyhooo, what's this topic about? Oh yeah, Bush! (LoL)
I always found this joking around behavior before the speech on Iraq disturbing...
It just makes it seem like he's 'role playing' at being President when he begins the speech.

I have ONE question regarding George W Bush Jr. Can any one show me where he EVER had coverage reading to class of students prior to 9/11? I have searched for prior and after 9/11, I could not find a single time....any one else ever consider this?
