I think that any commander in chief who makes the crew of an aircraft carrier on the final day of a long deployment have to trap yet another aircraft just so he gets to get dolled up in his flight suit and hold the stick on an S-3 fling straight and level and then give up the controls to a REAL pilot is a fucking pussy....
my guess is, you fired up the F8 and let real pilots ride it off.... what were you, a member of the purple gang?
The crew looked pretty happy about the whole event...going so far as to request the "Mission Accomplished" sign, that the White House staffers were only to happy to supply to them...
\and of course we know, a "real" pilot is the one can make a carrier landing, damn right mate..
And I believe its a "brown shirt" (plane Captain)

Wait? Doesn't the COD flight get trapped too?
helo's don't.
If he needed to take a fixed wing aircraft to the Lincoln because of its distance away from San Diego, he could have taken a cod and ridden in his business suit. As it turned out, he could have ridden his marine chopper and nobody would have had to ready the arresting gear...but he wanted to put on a PR show. why don't you guys just admit that?
I doubt the bush buttlickers will ever admit to that, and if they do, they will immediately drag out some example of a democrat's PR stunt as some sort of "if they can do it, we can do it" justification.
They, of course, will completely ignore the huge difference....Bush's PR stunt was staged to maintain public approval for a stupid war where Americans are dying for a cause that has ZERO to do with the war against our real enemies.

Absolute bullshit. There was no real dissent when he did his so called "stunt". But do keep rewriting history, so your good at it.
I wonder if Gunny will come back and retract his statement:
"Please present your factual evidence that President Bush went out fo his way to avoid service in Vietnam. Oh, that's right, there isn't any.
You're dismissed.
I thought those bush quotes about avoiding vietnam, were fairly common knowledge to us political junkies - those that don't get all their information from Fox News.
See... this is where someone like you shows a total lack of understanding. You act as if he has comported himself in such a way that he would have gained support from the left of the aisle. After 9/11, most of us were predisposed to supporting him... .rooting for him, actually. I really wanted him to be a "compassionate conservative" who would run a "humble foreign policy" (his words, not mine). He took all that good will and sqauandered it with heavy-handed Rovian poltics and incompetence.
So as far as I'm concerned, it isn't the "I hate Bush" club, it's a rational response to someone who we see as having destroyed our standing in the world, attacked the constitution and undermined everything good that this country stands for.
Luckily he's out in 441 days.
Yes, I do beleive we were all rooting for him after 9/11. The entire world was in our corner. When he stood there at ground zero and thanked all the rescue workers, I felt pride. When we attacked Afganistan, I knew it had to be done to go after Bin Laden. But when he, and I'm sure at the urgings of DICK, decided to concoct a lame reason to invade Iraq I knew he was going over the edge.
But what could we do, you and I and all the nobodies of the US. All we could do was shake our heads and watch the biggest blunder in the history of our country. So now the real reasons for the invasion are coming out. bush has had 8 years to make his buddies rich. I am sure he is very proud and can go back to texass and have his parties and tell jokes about how he made the entire world believe his lie.
Still waiitng for evidence of these lies. You and your cohorts keep making the claim but have zero to back it up. Now if you want to see a President that Lied, I know a certain Democrat that had to admit he lied and forfiet his right to be a lawyer for it.
you have been given plenty of evidence that Bush&Co. made penty of statements that served to convey a false impression.
You chose to ignore them.
and for you to say that there was no real dissent when he pulled off his PR stunt is patently ridiculous. Hell... a majority of congressional democrats were against his even STARTING this dumbass war. There was PLENTY of dissent by the time he declared "mission accomplished". By that time, I was already a frequent participant in the thursday evening candlelight demonstrations at the traffic circle here in Maine's state capital... but to expect you to ever admit that is far fetched, I know.
Yup, there has been so much open dissent the Democrats keep pretending they will bring back the draft in hopes of drumming up something resembling a protest. Further we have an ALL VOLUNTEER military and it is running just fine, so much for all that dissent.
And the tired claim the sign meant the war was over is so ridiculous as to be IGNORANT. You know as well as everyone with a 2nd grade education that it was meant for the CArrier he visited since THEY had ACCOMPLISHED their mission.
I say again...for you to say that Bush pulled off his stupid PR stunt on the Abe Lincoln in an atmosphere devoid of dissent is patently ridiculous.
but suck on some more koolaid and swallow some more Bush jism....I am sure it will continue to all make perfect sense to you.
Yes, we all know you hate Bush, and that you work backwards from there.I never said that most people thought he did his top gun gimmick in the persian gulf.
What is blatantly obvious though, is that your president who went out of his way to dodge service in vietnam (a war he supported), got himself dressed up in a costume, and his handlers stage managed a lame ass Top Gun carrier landing, so he could play war hero, and declare victory in a war that was far from over.
Pathetic and Moronic.
All sound decisions if you asked any normal person....
So you really have no point except that Bush decided to serve as a National Guard fighter pilot, an officer rather a private in the Army....seems the logic of that decision escapes you.....
How about some other famous quotes....from "guess who".............
Infamous quotes from a self-admitted draft dodger:
Hey!! Did you -really- get lucky with cousin Josie last weekend? You DOG!I doubt the bush buttlickers will ever admit to that, and if they do, they will immediately drag out some example of a democrat's PR stunt as some sort of "if they can do it, we can do it" justification.
They, of course, will completely ignore the huge difference....Bush's PR stunt was staged to maintain public approval for a stupid war where Americans are dying for a cause that has ZERO to do with the war against our real enemies.
