Bush Questions Authenticity of 'Documents' - Keeping the Story Alive.

Here's a snippet from another article:

"In the telephone interview published Saturday, Mr. Bush replied "I don't know" when asked whether the White House had evidence that either the Kerry campaign or the Democratic Party was involved in releasing the disputed papers."

Absolutely brilliant strategery. He didn't say "Oh, I'm sure they didn't." or "I'm willing to bet they did." Just "I don't know."

When the story begins to die out, this can be resurrected, and off we go again!

[InterceptPoint]

Well Dan, you are getting your wish. Bush is responding to the charges.

[Texasforever]

Why doesn't the President sue for libel and /or slander?

Waste of time. Burkett will be charged with forgery and Rather will be "spending quality time with his family" soon.

[IoCaster]

President Bush is the only one that knows all the facts. So he can drive this car anywhere he wants.

Exactly. Everyone else is either dead or idealogically pigeon-holed by the MSM already. This is actually a masterful response to these allegations. Attacking a sitting President is a daunting and risk filled endeavor. You'd better have all the facts lined up or you'll pay a steep price. I'm somewaht amazed that Viacom/CBS let Ra^ther play this losing hand out as long as they have. Heads will roll and it will be well deserved by that scumbag and his posse of partisan hacks at CBS.

LOL! Nice. I snatched it.

The president is asked if KampKerry is responsible.

Masterful stroke...the president says, "I don't know."

He cannot be faulted for such an answer because on it's face it is true. Personally, he doesn't know.

But to the listening audience it means, "Maybe Kerry did do this."

Awesome!

Have we done any backtracking to the original urban legands that were used to create the story in the first place?

I guess it depends what you mean by that. Were it not for the LGF document analysis, it would be plasible if unlikely that someone in 1972 who wanted to create these documents could have done so. The technology existed in 1972 for someone with a cold-type press to produce the overlapping letterforms, superscripts, centering, and other typographical features observed in the memo. I suspect a pantograph lettering machine could also have produced such features.

What did not exist in 1972 were two things:

• Any way of producing these documents which would have been easier than simply dashing off a handwritten note. Even if someone skilled in the crafts could have produced the CYA memo in an hour on a cold-type press or lettering machine, the notion that Killian would have had such expertise, or that he would have taken that sort of time even if he did have the expertise, is absurd.
• Any reason to make various formatting decisions in the memo, including letter spacing, occur exactly as they would with the defaults of a program that was developed decades later. The design of computer typefaces and their letterspacing involves a lot of compromises that would not have been relevant in 1972. Because Times New Roman was not designed to match precisely the spacing of anything that came before it, the probability of a match by chance with anything is pretty remote.

To view things another way, suppose somebody had a photo of the Kennedy assassination and in the background was a blackboard on which could be read a group of six numbers and a group of five. Those numbers by themselves might not prove much at first, except that it would be rather odd for someone to have written out such groups of numbers in the 1960's. Suppose, however, that an examination of Illinois Lottery web site revealed that those were the Lotto and Little Lotto numbers drawn on the 25th anniversary of Kennedy's death. Such a find would absolutely prove the photo to be fake.

Not because it would have been any more difficult for someone to write those particular numbers than any other arbitrary set, but rather because it is far more probable that someone would fake such a photo than that such a 1-in-over-1,000,000,000,000 event would occur.

Good ol' W. He's dumb like a fox.

And hot too. :)

"With respect (smirk): answer the questions," said George W. Bush, the President of the United States. He was asking a direct question to Dan Ra^ther, his network, his producer and his political conspirators in the press and at the DNC. "We’ve heard what you have to say about the documents and what you’ve said and what your surrogates have said, but for the moment, answer the questions.

"I say that with respect (smirk)," he added. "They’d be a lot stronger in their reputation if they did do that."

"Howdy, Dan! Didn't you ever learn?

"You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, Know when to walk away, and know when to run...."

VIACOM property Howard Stern is attacking Bush relentlessly with all kinds of trash...hopefully this spells ratings suicide for Stern and Rather, business is business after all

[Richard Kimball]

I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Bush has his eyes on the prize. He wants to be re-elected. Suing CBS will make him look petty.

Dan's doing a pretty good job destroying himself. Bush is treating him like the road runner treats the coyote right now. Dan's staggering, and Bush just gave him a light tap. I think the rest of the Old Media is getting ready to set their beebers to full stune and take Dan out. He's rathered around for years, destroying CBS in the process, but he's embarrassing the rest of the Old Media now, and they've got to put him out of his misery before he talks again.

Good Good .. thanks..

We are seeing something truly amazing with this whole thing.. a Revelation... these documents are fakes based on an urban legend. I was talking to a close friend (who drank all the left's kool-aid) and when I started to tell him about fake-docs said 'oh I heard about that a long time ago' ... CBS had the story for a long time but with no documents... This all is the same tired old hearsay that was around when W ran for governor

Now, in a Presidental campaign, if a charge is made that is this outrageous: forgery of military records charging disobeying an order against The sitting CIC who is at war... there is something special about the content. The memos themselves are like a cypher... a key... God has taken sides in this election. One candidate is bearing false witness.

So, the content of the forged memos is a nut to crack. A Divinci or Bible code of sorts... Take a look at the pictures at this site: JFK MURDER SOLVED - JAMES FILES, Confessed Assassin of JFK There is some sort of link with these forged documents and the Grassy Knoll page. The President flew to Kennybunkport and Dan Rather flew to Dallas today. Clues are at: Dan Rather in Dallas today and Dogpile and Google

Somewhere between the forged documents and the JFK assassination site is irritable proof of the existence of God that no one in our country can ever dispute. It is a conspiracy .. a divine one. We have to move from 'dump Kerry' to 'find God'.

She's not done with Kerry yet. I am expecting a bimbo erruption around Oct. 25th.

CBS News president Andrew Heyward said the network was satisfied that the documents were accurate but said he recognized the public had doubts about them. Rather said he believed they were legitimate

Above the law.

[Oh I forgot..since the FBI will not even investigate this, it must now be legal to fabricate military documents or else the FBI is indeed part of the NWO government conspiracy] As a result, nothing to see here. The commies have taken over even law enforement. Move along......
