Hmm, Colonel ain't going to like those pictures.

Clinotn wasn't wearing a flight suit but a flight jacket. Everyone knew he wasn't impersonating a pilot.

Bush wasn't impersonating either - he is after all a pilot.

Look, the photo op was gratuitous as is everything that charlatan does. He doesn't stand for American. He doesn't stand for the military men. Just admit it!

So your point is wearing half a flight suit(jacket)is ok,but wearing the whole suit isn't. Please tell me you can come up with something better than this.

Ok, now you're just pising me off. Bush war the flight suit to pretend to be a war hero pilot. That's how he came off. Clinton wore the flight JACKET just to do so.

See they all wore Flight JACKETS but not Bush. In any event, this distracts from the main theme that he DOESN'T support the troops---by his cutting verteans benefits, cutting monies for pay raises for military men and military housing while singing their praises in EVERY speech.

admit what? That a majority of Americans supported his war decision, admit that he has a high approval rating? admit that the military supports him? Admit that your team has gotten too liberal for the American people? Admit that the GOP controls the House, Senate, and WH?

(Thought you had the Colonel over a barrel, didn't ya. Don't bet on it.)

I don't know why I'm bothering but here it goes anyway.

When you fly in a military jet there is this thing under your butt called an ejection seat.
Repeat after me, Colonel: E.. J.. E.. C.. T.. I.. O.. N.. S.. E.. A.. T..
very good.
Now try to get this through your skull
The flight suit is made to strap you into this seat so that IF you need to eject you stay connected to the seat and the parachute attached to it. Not to mention the inflatable parts and other measures included (shark repellant, signal flares ect.)Its called safety regulations.

Having a seat belt in your car will not save you if you don't use it. Same here but at 25,000 ft and I would guess around 600 MPH.

I swear, some people are just grasping for anything they can find to demonize Bush. He may not be the best president ever but he's hardly the worst.

Americans supported the deciosn b/c they were LIED to. His hi approval raiting is in the hi 50s and falling. Too liberal? No, your repugnant meida mionions have characterized us in an evil light. I hate Barbera Streisand but being that I'm a Dem I must like her. Not true. Another repugnant lie.

What was the purpose of him being in the jet in the first place when it was unnecessary?.....And he is the worst president ever. (I never thought I would see it my lifetime)

Was he supposed to swim to the carrier?

Yeah, I know the old "he could have taken a helicopter" line. Guess what, Helicopters are much more expensive to operate than a small jet. Look it up.

What he could have done--the decent thing--is to just let those servicemen go home instead of looking for the next photo op.
