Twisting Arms In War Does Not Work

    Here is an interesting study if wars that the major powers have been involved in since World War 2.

Political scientist Patricia Sullivan recently decided to take a different tack than the political pundits.

Her findings will probably surprise you -- and would make for sober reading at the White House: Although the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China were militarily superior to their opponents in every one of the 122 conflicts that Sullivan studied, these powerful countries failed to win an astonishing 39 percent of their wars against weaker opponents.            WaPo for more

    This study shows that when it comes to trying to force other countries into doing it your way, the U.S. and other bigger powers, have a dismal success rate.

 

Bush's National Guard Tour, Better Known As "Where Was He?"

    You might want to think about this for a while.

    I was just browsing around on the Internet as I often do, and I came across some of the news stories on President Bush's National Guard desertion during the Vietnam war.

   We all know that Bush was/is a deserter but we do not know what to do about it as all of his National Guard records were scrubbed. Big daddy Bush no doubt pulled some weight to make that happen because his son would never had made it to the presidency if it could have been proved that junior was a chicken shit war dodger!

    Having little George's records scrubbed did two things. 1) It got rid of the evidence and, 2) it left only hearsay about his service.

    What I found out though, is that there is no statute of limitations  when deserting one's country during a time of war.

   From the Department of  Defense: ...because of the nature of the crimes; deserting one's country during a time of war, that there is NO statute of limitations, and these crimes, if proven, can still be prosecuted today.

   Do you see where I am going with this? Maybe the American citizens of this country should call, fax,write, or email those members in Congress and the Senate to push them into re-opening this matter with a full investigation of our Presidents service record.

   Just for the hell of it, I threw in John Kerry's military record comparing it to Bush's record. I am, happy to state that at least Kerry has a service record! Kerry/Bush service records
