Scrutinize the President's service? Check out Kerry, too.

Democrats are attacking the President's National Guard service. Republicans have been careful to be, at least publicly, respectful of Kerry's service despite accounts detailing that Kerry was a big fraud and a coward who fled the scene at the first sign of trouble. The media seems only too happy to oblige the Democrat demand for attacking Bush's record. I think it is time for Republicans to demand real media scrutiny of Kerry's exploits (exploit being the key word) in Vietnam.

Democrat Mara Liasson mentioned on Fox News that the time to have this debate was four years ago when it may have mattered. What she means by that is that the President's National Guard service has little bearing on how he will act as President when compared with the past four years of actually seeing him act as President. This is significant when contrasted to Kerry who wants to say that his service in Vietnam demonstrates how he will be as commander-in-chief, yet he wants no independent analysis of his service to be performed. And if you do it is questioning his patriotism. If the media is going to dig into one man's service, let's know the truth about both men.

EDIT: Please give this article a read. The article outlines Bush's entire Guard service record.
