bush's goal was to dodge the war
according to jimmy breslin's article at newsday today: «what matters to all our senses is that he is a president who struts around as a war hero, who dodged vietnam and most of the national guard drills and who with less shame than anybody we have had maybe ever, sends your kids to a war that he ducked as if he was allowed to do it by birth.the picture of him playing soldier suit on an aircraft carrier, the helmet under his arm like he just got back from a run over baghdad, marks him as exceedingly dangerous. He believes he is a warrior president. he is not. he is a war dodger. therefore, it is preposterous for george bush to be a commander of anything. he doesn't have the right to send people to war and yet he orders them off, and almost cheerfully.»
