Democrats raised new questions about President George W. Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service on September 8, 2004 as White House hopeful John Kerry charged the Iraq war was draining resources from the U.S. economy at home. After weeks of Republican criticism of Kerry's decorated war service in Vietnam, Democrats tried to turn the tables with a barrage of questions about whether Bush fulfilled his military obligations in the Texas Air National Guard.
