Apostropher predicts a rough future for Bush:
Bush and bin Laden are both fundamentalists staring across a theological divide at one another, perfectly willing to sacrifice both their own people and each other’s because their god has told them to do so. If there is a Hell, they will be roommates in their own private Sartrean eternity where they can fight each other hand-to-hand.
This is from the end. Go read the rest.

The Daily Howler discusses Bush’s military history in some detail here, here and here. Well worth the read. Especially how the subject was treated during the 2000 campaign.
The Lincoln speech is already 4 day old news and the final judge of its import will be history. To interpret and understand Bush you must read both between and behind the lines and then you must wait and see his actions. I just ran across the best interpretation of it hidden meanings that I have yet read. Go read Tim Dunlop’s fine interpretation.
UPDATE: David Corn writes a brief history of Bush’s National Guard Service. Link courtesy of Estimated Prophet who has more to say on the subject.
