Yeah, you know that Bush and crew have a full accounting of what is in Kerry's files.
As Commander in Chief, Bush himself may be able to release them in the interest of national security.
Timing.
Kerry keeps trying to pick a fight with Bush over military records.
Kerry should be careful what he wishes for.
My husband says Bush is light years ahead of the Democrats, and Bush is just playing Kerry. Bush will nail him eventually, when he chooses, and that'll be the end of this "Elect Kerry" nonsense.
Do I smell an "October Surprise"?
Bush may be sitting back and laughing his ass off at how Kerry has dug himself into his own political grave. And the leftists call Bush dumb. Dumb like a fox! Bush has outfoxed them all so far. He knows with leftists, all you have to do is give them enough rope. Sooner or later they'll hang themselves.
Go Bush/Cheney 2004!
As Commander in Chief, Bush himself may be able to release them in the interest of national security.
Bad move. If Bush were to do this, then the story becomes Bush abusing his position as Commander in Chief by releasing private information about a political opponent. It won't matter what's in Kerry's records - the mainstream media will focus all of their attention on Bush, giving Kerry a way out of the hole he's dug for himself.
I would prefer to see the President wait until the debates, and let Kerry bring up the subject of the Swift Boat vets, and how they "are in collusion with the Bush campaign" (and you know he will!). At that point, all GW Bush would need to do is calmly deny the allegation, and politely point out that Kerry can clear the whole matter up simply by signing the SF 180 and releasing his records. The President can then smile at him and ask "why haven't you done that, John"?
