A number of us that have been studying this think that the story line was actually, "Bush was run out of the Texas ANG because of drug abuse, and that he missed the physical to escape a drug test".
There are hints to this, for example Kitty Kelly planting the idea Laura sold drugs in college. Also, the false time line that moves up the requirement for the physical to before he asked to leave, as well as the "order" to get the physical. Normally, you don't need to be ordered to take a physical, it is just scheduled on your birthday.
I think they were going to drag out more "evidence" has time went on.
CBS/Rather handles the Guard service allegations
NBC/Today the Kitty Kelly drug allegations.
Near election day the two become linked.
I want to know what role ABC had/may have had in this conspiracy since the other two seem embedded with the DNC. Could be why ABC is hot on the trail of CBS, to cover up a role they might have had.
"I think they were going to drag out more "evidence" has time went on."
That makes sense....the MSWord memo's have pretty much destroyed the public credulity for any more 'evidence' at this point. I wonder what internal polling shows this is doing to kerry?
