Make a difference, remind the FCC there here to serve.

D'oh! Just checking my grammer... I meant "remind the FCC they're here to serve." Silly me... Well I have an excuse, English is my first language. :) Peace.

Could this be a lay-up -- getting ready to say he didn't take his physical because he was afraid of drug testing? There's a rumor that CBS is just laying groundwork with this.

Uh....sure.....that's why he hid out in that school where you can just float on through. You know the one, Harvard Business School

My bad. I didn't know that reposts were not allowed. Next time I'll link to it. However, just for the record I have seen identical posts in several threads.

Did you see Carl Berstein on Hannity?

Once upon a time .. they use to try and hide their bias

Those days are gone

Did the secretary say on 60 Minutes that the memos were fake, or just that she didn't type them? There's a difference between the two.

Carl Berstein was a hero. To see him get down and slither on the floor for the Democrats is just disgusting. Has Satan taken up residence at the DNC? Is Kerry a real life Damien? I expect to see their heads spinning around any moment now. This is frightening!

I have a major issue. There is only one person who can determine whether or not Bush, as an officer, followed orders and whether or not Bush was a qualified fighter interceptor pilot - his reporting Commanding Officer. Those are judgments that are solely his to make - and not the CO's chief typist. She is waaayyyy out of line making judgement about things she cannot know about.

Wouldn't it be great if he came out and talked now?

Most people in Texas and Alabama during this time frame were DEMOCRATS.

For all we know, Rather is holding this general in reserve. So be careful what you wish for.

Oh Im sure they flew her in the corporate jet, put her up in their suite at the best hotel and made her feel VERY obligated to play the game with them.

Or just told her it was a long walk back to Texas.

Howlin, don't forget the important info debunking most of the talking points of Dan Rather. This is from an open letter to the Washington Post from a pilot that served with Pres. Bush. This is just an excerpt:



"If you check the 111th FIS records of 1970-72 and any other ANG squadron, you will find other pilots excused for career obligations and conflicts. The Bush excusal in 1972 was further facilitated by a change in the unit's mission, from an operational fighter squadron to a training squadron with a new airplane, the F-101, which required that more pilots be available for full-time instructor duty rather than part-time traditional reservists with outside employment.

The winding down of the Vietnam War in 1971 provided a flood of exiting active-duty pilots for these instructor jobs, making part-timers like Lt. Bush and me somewhat superfluous. There was a huge glut of pilots in the Air Force in 1972, and with no cockpits available to put them in, many were shoved into nonflying desk jobs. Any pilot could have left the Air Force or the Air Guard with ease after 1972 before his commitment was up because there just wasn't room for all of them anymore."

I still believe, before this is over the left will say that one of W's surrogates made the memos. To hide more damaging info in the supposed real memos. I believe the old lady alluded to it. She was obviously coached on this point of view. I believe Rather has made comments similar to this.

Bush Guard Service, The True Story
Written by Gordon Bloyer
Thursday, August 26, 2004

(excerpt)


The following is from a letter by Col. William Campenni Ret. published in the Washington Times.

There was one big exception to this abusive use of the Guard to avoid the draft, and that was for those who wanted to fly, as pilots or crew members. Because of the training required, signing up for this duty meant up to 2½½ years of active duty for training alone, plus a high probability of mobilization. A fighter-pilot candidate selected by the Guard (such as Lt. Bush and me) would be spending the next two years on active duty going through basic training (six weeks), flight training (one year), survival training (two weeks) and combat crew training for his aircraft (six to nine months), followed by local checkout (up to three more months) before he was even deemed combat-ready. Because the draft was just two years, you sure weren't getting out of duty being an Air Guard pilot. If the unit to which you were going back was an F-100, you were mobilized for Vietnam. Avoiding service? Yeah, tell that to those guys. The Bush critics do not comprehend the dangers of fighter aviation at any time or place, in Vietnam or at home, when they say other such pilots were risking their lives or even dying while Lt. Bush was in Texas. Our Texas ANG unit lost several planes right there in Houston during Lt. Bush's tenure, with fatalities. Just strapping on one of those obsolescing F-102s was risking one's life.
