and great post.it sure seems like a lot dems in the know knew an awful lot about these doc's doesn't it?When I was watching FOXNEWS during the convention I remember McCauliff (however you spell the jackasses name) hinting about guard service stuff coming out.
Good first post though you probably didn't have to excerpt it....
Welcome to Free Republic. You did a fine job with your posting.
Seems like maybe these guys from the radio broadcast ought to be "interviewed" by someone...............say, maybe the FBI?................about what they knew, when they knew it, and WHERE they heard about it.
I think it's already all over.
It was obvious that they had a bomb to drop but like alot of terrorists the bomb exploded on them.
Susie Ostrich also gave us a 'heads up' a few weeks ago -- on Hannity, as I recall -- similar to this one.
If JfnK doesn't approve of 'smears' he's been in the wrong party for 35 years. This is their bread and butter.
Now we know why those memos are so crucial to cBS. Danny is still insisting that the questions raised must be answered even if there is no evidence to base the questions on.
Danny has sunk (again) to rumor mongering and pretending it is reporting.

Welcome to FR

Good catch. Thanks for posting.
I don't know about this. I was in the Navy when the Navy started doing drug testing - which was in 1982 - not 1972. It could have been different in the Air Force, but I don't think that they did drug testing back then.
Besides, Bush was in the National Guard, not the Air Force.
Was anybody in the National Guard (or the Air Force) when they first started doing drug testing? If so, when was it?
I don’t recall drug testing starting that early in the 1970’s. This source says that only those in the methadone program were tested, and personnel generally not unitl 1980
Large-scale drug testing was originally stimulated by the Department of Defense's (DoD) need to monitor its armed forces during the Vietnam War era, and by the heroin "epidemic" in the 1970s, which resulted in thousands of patients being treated with methadone (Federal Register, 1972) and were required to be drug free and monitored to confirm that they were not taking additional drugs. In late 1980 the testing industry further expanded as the Navy, following a series of incidents that highlighted the pervasive use of marijuana among their personnel, announced a policy of "zero tolerance" for illicit drugs (Cangianelli, 1989~. Over a period of 2 years they designed and implemented a testing program that required contracted laboratories to analyze more than 2 million urine specimens each year in order to monitor and control illegal drug use in the Navy. By the time the naval program was in place, the other branches of the services had followed suit (Willette, 19861. Private industry then followed.
Under the Influence?: Drugs and the American Work Force (1994)
"The physical exam was scheduled for a couple of weeks after the Air Force changed its policy and decided to put drug testing into physical exams"
Drug exams have never been optional. They were given even to returning GI's in the early 70's. Bush didn't take the yearly flight physical because he wasn't flying. Killian wasn't ordering Bush to take the physical, was just informing him he was grounded

The more we have on this mess that shows a broad conspiracy, the better off we are.
Many feel that this was the October surprise and was used to soften the impact of the Swift Vets.
This is beyond just the scope of CBS/60 Minutes, and we will start hearing some real leaking about where this originated and who pedaled it.
Welcome Syco and thanks for that info. I hadn't heard it. No doubt the dems in the know were salivating and waiting for this. And they got it ;) LOL
