Authenticity of Bush memos questioned Typographical, formatting questions emerge
MSNBC ^ | September 10,2004 | Michael Dobbs and Mike Allen

Documents unearthed by CBS News that raise doubts about whether President Bush fulfilled his obligations to the Texas Air National Guard include several features suggesting that they were generated by a computer or word processor rather than a Vietnam War-era typewriter, experts said yesterday.

Experts consulted by a range of news organizations pointed typographical and formatting questions about four documents as they considered the possibility that they were forged. The widow of the National Guard officer whose signature is on the bottom of the documents also disputed their authenticity.

The documents, which were aired Wednesday night on "60 Minutes II," bear dates from 1972 and 1973 and include an order for Bush to report for his annual physical exam and a discussion of how he could get out of "coming to drill."

The BIG story has to be:

Who did the forgery?

Who authenticated the documents?

Who engineered the smear?

We know who will pay for it. Kerry!!!!

The Bush bounce is still going thanks to some inept Kerry dirty tricksters.

What did Kerry know, and when did he know it?

They're saying it's a Rove trick

OR

They're insisting their fakes, and reading every typewriter manual from the era (I found that post really funny...like they could dispute noted experts in the field)

OR

They're actually saying that the Kerry campaign admitted getting the same docs weeks ago, but decided not to use them because they questioned their veracity, and this proves the Kerry campaign isn't involved.

On Aug. 1, 1972, Bush's commander in Houston, Col. Bobby W. Hodges, ordered him grounded for "failure to accomplish annual medical examination." His critics claim this should have triggered a formal board of inquiry. But Hodges said in a recent interview that this was unnecessary because Bush accepted the penalty and knew "he couldn't fly again until he takes a physical."

-----


Some media reports have speculated that Bush took and failed his physical, or that he was grounded as a result of substance abuse. Bush's vagueness on the subject of his past drug use has only abetted such rumors. Bush's commanding officer in Texas, however, denies the charges. "His flying status was suspended because he didn't take the exam, not because he couldn't pass," says Hodges.




In Bush's evaluation for the period May 1, 1971 through April 30, 1972, then-Colonel Bobby Hodges, his commanding officer, stated, "I have personally observed his participation, and without exception, his performance has been noteworthy."

Hehe you're making me laugh.

While the stuff presented so far is VERY compelling they could hire hacks to argue counterpoint. The fact that those PO Boxes didn't exist at the time the memo was written is a case closed fact. They're toast. :^)
