White House Vet Ari Fleischer, Back to Fight for The Surge in Iraq

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/23/AR2007082302235.html

So when did Ari become a "VET"???? Seems to me WaPo is trying to make it sound like Ari was in the service of the U.S. military at some time and is now a MILITARY veteran so that his support of *'s lying war in Iraq is somehow just a bit more special.

GMAFB :eyes: How low can they go???

2. However....

...IMO...combine "vet" and "support for a war" and IMO the inference is MILITARY vet.

3. Once a Bush shill, always a Bush shill

Looks like you can take the liar out of the White House, but you can't take the White House out of the liar.

4. Technically correct

But yes, most definitely written to paint him as some sort of legitimate soldier.

More important to me: WHY IS A 501(c)(4) organization hiding their WHOIS information behind a privacy service?
