CBS Hoaxed?

Anti-Bush national guard story may have been based on false documents

(comparison in print out using MS Word and the alleged document from 1973)

CBS's 60 Minutes may have fallen for a hoax yesterday. After airing documents that claimed to show that pressure was put on officers to "sugar coat" Bush's national guard service, blog sites such as Little Green Footballs and this one seem to provide compelling evidence that this was a hoax.

Story developing.

That is likely. However, the documemnts released by DoD earlier ths month confirm Bush did not take required physical, he did not fly after April 1972 and an investigation into why was driected at the time (Sept 29, 1972). That report can not be found??? The other issue about him not attending drills from April to Oct 1972 was also confirmed by HIS RECORDS. Thus the truth of the Bush failure to obey Air Force Regulations is true. How did Bush secure an honorable discharge and an 8 month early release from the Guard given his failute to obey orders? The answer comes from George W. himself. He told his Harvard Prefessor his daddy had a friend fix it.

If you want to learn more about the Bush policies and the election read, "Four More For George W?" See the strong reader comments on www.amazon.com.

There is no eveidence that Bush "failed to obey orders" - that is a bit of wishful fiction that some won't allow to die. The reason he did not fly after April '72 is that he was not qualified in (trained to fly) the aircraft used by the Alabama unit, which is the reason he didn't complete his flight physical - he knew he would have no opportunity to fly again before he left the Guard. He was not AWOL. But enough already. What did or didn't happen 30 years ago is of little concern to most of us. Both candidates have political records over that past 2 decades that are tangible and can be evaluated fairly by the electorate.

Well, if you really wanted to be conspiracy minded, creating easily identified forged documents about something that was true and then "leaking" them so your camp ends up with deniability about the content of such documents would seem to be a smart political play. Because if real documents surfaced confriming those facts, well, the credibility of those documents would probably also be in question now. IF such a thing was what happened, it is masterful... but that's probably not what happened. Interesting to contemplate nonetheless.
