truthout - Thursday September 9, 2004 Evidence of the president's fudged war record emerged in time to undermine the Republicans' triumphal march. Bush camp dismisses questions about president's Guard service Questions Raised About Bush Guard Service |
This morning I came into the office and saw that AP has changed their story and their explosive headline. Now that serious questions have been raised about the memo hoax, the AP "fixed" the story. How? By beginning it with trashing Bush because 2 times it took him 2 passes to land an F-102A fighter on March 12 and April 10, 1972. THEN they lead into what at least raises some doubt about the story:
Meanwhile, questions were raised Thursday about the authenticity of newly unearthed memos purporting to have been written by one of Bush's commanders in 1972 and 1973. The memos, which were publicized by CBS News on its "60 Minutes" program, say Bush ignored a direct order from a superior officer and lost his status as a Guard pilot because he failed to meet military performance standards and undergo a required physical exam. . . .
Weasels.
