As a military pilot the CBS 4 May 1972 document has to be totally bogus.
Military flight physicals are based on birth month, and good to the end of the month. Bush would not have been ordered and failed to perform letter issued before flt phy was due in July.
Agree, especially after 26 years in the USN. Always in birth month.
This evidence and other similar assertions indicate to me that the forger was very ignorant of military procedures.

*bites his tongue*
Are you saying that Kerry had something to do with this? :)
wow that's original.... must have put it through a Excel random number generator... hee-heee.
As I've said," If Bush is a cocaine abuser, deserter, liar, womanizer, and idiot, he'd be the Democratic nominee for the president. Since he's not ..... he's the Republican nominee. ROFLMAO!!!
How many ways can I say.... liberals blow goats....!!! LOL
The Free Republic has just revolutionized "Open Access News gathering". I can't wait till the libs try to muzzle or tax the Internet "in order to protect the children".
For the lurkers who are 'Dem's'... "have a wonderful day!"
yep, sout it from the rooftops!
What? When did this happen? You mean there are fake, forged memos out there about Bush????
HOLY COW!
I have read many posts on different threads. I have not found any that address seriously the larger scope of these forgeries. These four fraudulent memos do not appear that they would ultimately do much damage to the President. One would think that if someone were to produce forgeries, they would have more damaging content.
I suspect this was only the start of a much larger campaign to smear the President's service (more than what has been attempted already). If these were not discovered, more would pop up in the upcoming weeks.
Hopefully, the competition of the news services will lead to other networks aggressively pursuing these fraud.
I think at this point, if they come out with any new documents, odds are no one would believe them even if the documents were true.
They'll have to find a new tactic now...
Talk about blunder. They just supplied President Bush with asbestos-lined bunker gear.
Your post does not bolster the case, sorry.
Actually, the PO Box checks out: it is a legitimate address. The rest of the form and content smells like three-day old halibut.
It's amazing what impact a word processor, a copier, and a fax can have on a document!
two other memos are at USA Today site along with the 4 previously posted at CBS one on 2/2/72 says update me on physicals for Bath & Bush...I wonder what was Bath's DOB.or was that supposed to be a hint at alphabetical order..?:

The "damaging" stuff is in the interpreation of the memos.
The charges I have seen raised based on these memos are
1. GWB refused a lawful order (did not appear for physical as ordered)
2. GWB tried to "weasel" out of his commitment
3. There was pressure "from upstairs" to treat GWB favourably.
This would be the "new" front of attacks and be supported by other "sources".
For example - the AP was running a story that GWB was "reduced" to flying trainers (and was somewhat incompetent) just before he left flying status - heavily implying [but NOT stating outright] that GWB was somehow a bad pilot [introduce drug angle / alcohol here]. He then refused his flight physical [due to previous drug/alcohol implications] - BUT - since GWB was the son of a senator - the big brass was protecting him . . . .
"The "damaging" stuff is in the interpreation of the memos."
Very good analysis.
I imagine that exchange is "seared" in Rather's lone brain cell.
