Using Bush's own words to damn him:
George W. Bush,

First - he trashes the status of the military under Clinton and Gore, then he says:



..Others have suggested that the problems I've described simply do not exist. They make no effort to dispute the facts you've just heard.

Instead, they just say it's something we shouldn't talk about. As Mr. Gore puts it, to point out these challenges is to “run down the military.”

Let's get something straight. These are not criticisms of the military. These are criticisms of a president and a vice president, and their OWN failure of leadership.

Leaders have a responsibility to speak out when the armed services are short on support and short on resources. We have a responsibility to take their side when too much is asked of them, and too little given them in return. We have a responsibility to act...

So every time Bush or Cheney try to attack anyone who points out the poor state of the military -- let's throw this right back at them.
