I agree. One of the 'extra' USA Today forged docs (the first one in the .pdf) has a link between Lts. Bush and Bath, the latter having some kind of drug problem in the NG. I think CBS was going to reveal these extra two docs in a later report, but they were revealed too early by USA Today in their pdf. CBS doesn't have links to the 2 extra docs on their website but the experts they consulted saw those docs and mentioned that on-air.

This whole campaign, the DNC's "Operation Fortunate Son" has been run to link President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling. It seems to have fallen flat on its face.

Where is info on Bath having a drug problem? That would nail this story and show that CBS was a party to the fraud

the latter having some kind of drug problem in the NG

Bingo, I guess you just answered my question.

All of this would, of course, come out slowly over the next few weeks, in follow up "investigations".

"Linking President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling. It seems to have fallen flat on its face."

Because, it is so absurd it is laughable! Nobody in their right mind (which excludes the DNCCBS) would make a charge like this without tons of incontrovertable evidence. It just made the DNCCBS look like lunatics IMO.

What's next, the President enjoys necrophilia?
Laura Bush is a Vampire?

:o)

This whole campaign, the DNC's "Operation Fortunate Son" FREEPER "Operation Unfortunate Journalist" has been run to link President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling Dan Rather and CBS to a history of lying, fraud and deciet. It seems to have fallen flat on its face succeeded beyond our wildest imagination.

DU - "Did Rove plant the CBS TANG documents? Did he do the same to Hatfield author of Fortunate Son, the book which broke the story of Bush's cocaine conviction back in 2000? "

That's another piece of the puzzle solved. I was wondering why this was called "Operation Fortunate Son". I thought it was just about the privilege angle that Hatfield talked about in his discredited book. But if Hatfield talked about Bush's alleged cocaine addiction in 2000, that's why COCAINE is the common denominator in the whole campaign named after his book.

You said, "This whole campaign, the DNC's "Operation Fortunate Son" has been run to link President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling. It seems to have fallen flat on its face"

And don't forget to tie in Kitty Kelley's assault on the Bush family, maligning Laura as a dope dealer and user while at SMU.

There can be no doubt this was a concerted effort to prevent the re-election of G. W. Bush.

This is so believable it is downright creepy.

Gee, without the internet, how do you suppose this would have played out?

The only hole in your theory is, why didn't the forger at least use the courier font? Aren't these guys pros? 8^>
