I've noticed that the press seems focused on whether President Bush missed Nation Guard Meetings, but seems blind to Senator Kerry's Naval Reserve obligations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I remember everyone had a 6 year service obligation. Reservists did 2 years active duty and 4 years attending meetings either one night a week or one weekend a month. Plus 2 weeks active duty (Summer Camp) a year. National Guard and Marine Reservists did 6 months active duty and 5 and a half years attending drills, and a Summer Camp each year. Bush did over two years active duty and seems to have attended most of his required drills. Kerry did less than 2 years active duty. And, Kerry never attended a single Reserve meeting as near as I can tell. The penalty for non attendance used to be orders for active duty. Looks to me like President Bush completed his obligation and Kerry did not. How about 4 years in Leavenworth? Why is no one jumping on Kerry's non drill attendance if they are berating Bush? Not Fair.

That's because the Mainstream Media (MSM) believes Bush bad, Kerry Good. Pretty much what it boils down to today. The MSM will ignore or berate the Swift Boat Vets as liars without lifting a finger to research, while they air blatant forgeries that make Bush look bad.
Let's just say that if the facts being put out there by SBVFT were against George Bush, it would have been headline news until Bush resigned from the Presidency in disgrace. (Just my opinion, but seems to be easy enough to back up doesn't it?)
