CHICKEN.

CHICKENHAWK PRESIDENT: G.W. Bush deserted his cush national guard post
for 18 months during the Vietnam War. He simply failed to show up.
CHICKENHAWK VICE-PRESIDENT: Dick Cheney sought and received 5 successive
deferments during the Vietnam War.
CHICKENHAWK ATTORNEY GENERAL: Ashcroft got deferment to teach business
classes during the Vietnam War.
CHICKENHAWK ADVISOR TO CHICKENHAWK PRESIDENT: Karl Rove has never served
in any capacity.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Rumsfeld escapes CHICKENHAWK distinction by
serving 4 years ('53-57) in the peacetime Navy. Nice timing, Rumsfeld.
CHICKENHAWK DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Wolfowitz did not serve.
These people had the opportunity to serve our country during wartime yet
strenously avoided doing so. They ask that you feel comfortable with
them ordering our young men and women to fight and die on foreign
soil... in a war they couldn't even get the US dominated United Nations
to rubber stamp. What is it you admire about them again?
