The New Republic Online: On whether Bush was a deserter

The New Republic Online: Standard Issue

Here is that well-crafted piece of bias which may well bring down the House of Bush, if not their house of cards:

General Clark, a lot of people say they don't [know] you well, so this is really a simple question about knowing a man by his friends. The other day you had a rally here, and one of the men who stood up to endorse you is the controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. You said you were delighted with him.
At one point, Mr. Moore said, in front of you, that President Bush--he's saying he'd like to see you, the general, and President Bush, who he called a "deserter."

Now, that's a reckless charge not supported by the facts. And I was curious to know why you didn't contradict him, and whether or not you think it would've been a better example of ethical behavior to have done so.


My rabbit owes his life to Mr. Moore. How dare you, Sir!
