And NPR’s point is...?

What was meant to be a “ra-ra” American “hero” rally (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED) has blown back into the faces of the Obama Administration.

So much for the distraction from the ongoing scandals.

And what do they do here? Lie, obstruct, shield information, deny, and now attack the critics as “swiftboaters”.

the articles about his desertion go back 5 years and the government never listed him as a POW, they said he walked off.... how did these Republicans pre-plan this so well?

And NPR’s point is...?

That was my question. They are stating each side's point, it is not like them to not take a side.

That must mean they agree with the conservative point of view on the impact to Obama.

"And NPR’s point is...?"

That it's all just partisan politics. That is the narrative they are laying down with their bland presentation of the facts. If this were a Republican information, they'd be burrowing into the story with the old "What did the president know and when did he know it?" narrative. We would see timelines and diagrams emphasizing all the contradictory claims of the administration, and we would be hearing words like "impeachable."
