We have witnessed recently a president who is not straight with the American people. He pushed us into a war claiming that Iraq caused the Sept.11 attack. This has been proven a lie. He said Saddam had chemical weapons that he could use in 45 minutes. This has been proven a lie. He has caused the death of over 1,000 innocent U.S. troops in Iraq for lies. He has caused over 7,500 Americans to be injured, many with disabling injuries. He has spent almost $200 billion, and troops keep dying.

His service during the Vietnam War has always been suspicious. We have learned recently that he took a five-month vacation from the Guard. He left the Guard six months early. He was immediately placed at the top of the list, but claims there was no influence placing him at the top of the list. He was suspended from flying for refusing to take the training to be a qualified pilot. He refused to take a physical when the Guard first implemented drug testing. His commanding officer said that there was pressure on him to rate Bush higher.

Bush has told us there are no other records and each week more damaging evidence appears. He acted like a college brat while in the Guard while others took his place and fought to defend America.

Bush shows he ran from his obligations and used his wealth to hide from Vietnam.
