In this story, it has been reported that CBS obtained the Air National Guard documents, turned them over to the White House and then the White House released them. Just MHO, but I have to believe that someone in the White House knew that the documents were bogus and allowed them to be released knowing what would happen next. If this is true, then this is a stroke of strategic genius. It puts a black eye on CBS, bloodies the lip of the DNC and should put a blanket on any further “Bush National Guard” questions. All of which make JFKerry look more and more desperate. Again, this theory is just an opinion, but I can’t imagine the White House releasing documents as damning as these without knowing that they were blatant fakes and also knowing that others would spot them too. What do you think? W2004!!!
LOL.....I check EVERYBODY who I haven't know for years......LOL.
And look at Cheney!
TROLL!!!!
Sorry, someone had to do it.
:-)
I seriously doubt that when CBS submitted these docs to the WH that they said, "yeah, we just want you to review these because we are planning on having Barnes use these to rip you in prime time". I think it started as two separate stories (Barnes and the docs) and then CBS bundled them to make one more sensational story.
Y'all don't EVER want to play poker with W......Great strategery and he always gets Misunderestimated.......
Observe how the release of the 2nd (forged) Kerry-Fonda photo immunized Kerry from the discussions of the 1st (real) Kerry-Fonda photo. After CBS is exposed on this, it is unlikely that anyone would follow on any Bush/NG stories. If Rove is behind this, this may be the idea.
Also, observe that this exposes Kerry as someone who is darn easy to dupe. Not a kind of president we need.
Great photo of the Bush 'look'....Cheney has a good 'look' too!
Before you rip me as a "plant", please read my other posts. Granted, I am new, but jeez, a guy has to start somewhere. As a native Texan, I love W and in the grand scheme of things I don't think that allowing forged documents that you didn't create, to be released, when they were going to be released anyway, is low or underhanded at all. I'm not suggesting that the WH forged these documents themselves, I'm just suggesting that they let these guys hang themselves with their own rope.
hmmmmm depends who in the WH saw them. If you were never in the military or no lights came on about the font's you would have no idea if they were legit or not. It is up to CBS to determine authinticy and not the WH if they are going to run with them. These aren't Bush's records but allegedly personal memo's belonging to another.
Yeah, I love that photo. Saved it as soon as I saw it. While I like Cheney's look, the expression on Bush's face is priceless. I wish I could see the look on Clinton's face.
Perhaps he's biting his lower lip....?
BTW have you heard the breaking news from Slick's doctors?
It was reported that doctors are very concerned about Clinton's condition and fear that he may take a turn for the nurse.
LOL
And, ultimately, I know that the MSM will try to pin this on the President, VP Cheney, Karl Rove, Halliburton or someone else. It's their template. It's what they say about all of this stuff and it's false. But, that has never prevented them from doing or saying these things.
Look, in November, if the electorate rises up and crushes the demoSCUMs and John Kerry, I will feel very assured that there are less and less "sheeple" and more and more people are paying attention to what's going on (i.e, getting their information from more than Danny, Petah', or Tommy Blowchow).
Until that happens, I am going to be hopeful, but I'm going to be skeptical. Sorry, I'm just so jaded on the MSM's bias that I can't help but think that the MSM still "controls" too much of the electorate's opinions. I will happily be wrong. If the MSM doesn't blame (or insinuate blame) Bush for the documents, I will openly, publicly apologize to you (and our young Padawan, sixxiron).
Fair point, and I agree with your assessment of the old media. I watched Nightline tonight for the first time in probably ten years, and even though they sorta kinda almost accepted the documents as fake, they didn't mention that Ben Barnes was a Kerry contributor. Koppel also got into an extended discussion with some bozo and they agreed that the forged documents couldn't possibly have come from Kerry because it would be too stupid, but were undoubtedly from someone trying to help Kerry that went overboard.
