See the link up above titled "Debunking The Bush AWOL Story - From The Horse's Mouth" where FReeper Rookie of the Year "Hon" did the legwork that the media has been too lazy to do.

I expect this story to die this week. I think Kerry will be satisfied to have convinced some that President Bush was a deserter, to have raised the question in the minds of some others, and to have drawn attention away from his own base acts protesting the war in Viet Nam.

He'll think that the issue of his protests is moot, that he's taken the sting out of accusations directed at him by attacking the president.

But he's wrong. A lot of people will actually listen and learn that President Bush's guard service was valid...and remember Kerry's now-embarrassing protests. Especially those who have served...
