I'm a first time poster but a long time lurker. I LOVE Free Republic. I'm just wondering if CBS is just trying to help Kerry change the focus to Bush's records instead of Kerry's. The longer the controversy continues about the memos, the longer the focus is off of Kerry. It's working! Maybe they don't care if the little people think they doctored documents as long as they accomplish their goal-protect Kerry.
Definitely planned in a way to hurt GWB.
However, I don't see this hurting him. It certainly appears the experts are lining up on the side of forgery and not with CBS.
Hi and Bye!
Kerry has got to try to grab the agenda back, but he can't, as long as it's on the National Guard service.
The public has made up its mind about Bush's National Guard service, and they don't care about it.
Not gonna happen. They have to know that. We've got too much ammo that hasn't even hit the big media yet. Matthews got nowhere despite the calculation and the hit-job on exPOW Jim Warner last night.
Very Clintonian.
Wow! 2004/09/11. Definitely not in the USA.
I've wondered if it was a diversion from 9/11 ceremonies tomorrow.
Could this be part of DU plans to try to divert attention away from the forgeries???
My god you guys have been busy today.
The two "experts" who Dan Rather had on his show are Clintonistas.
One "verified" that Vince Foster's suicide note was real.
The other wrote a book "Growing Up Clinton" which was a glowing account.
I smell Hitlery all the way behind this. She knows the Kerry camp will be tied to this debacle and that forged military documents is a federal crime. Tie it to Kerry and he's finished. Which is just what she wants.
All it focuses on is the steps the Rats will do to lie and cheat their way to a victory. There's nothing about this story that hurts Bush in any way.
I suspect that's part of it, particularly after I heard that they've been working on this story for 4 years.
I believe Bush will have 10 more poll points by this time next week.
If it wasnt planned as a red-herring diversion, it might turn out that way... we need to get attention back to SWIFTEES... load another torpedo tube and fire away you sailors, its time...
Me thinks thou dost protest (profess?) too much.
I smell ozone.
I'm not saying I totally embrace this theory, just that I can't discount it :-)
I don't think there's any question that any of this military discussion is Kerry's way of avoiding discussion of his Senate record. But it is a spider's web of his own making. He is in a no win situation. If he discusses his Senate record, he is clearly too liberal to be elected. If he deflects his discussion to military matters, he loses by virtue of being a phoney. Lose-lose.
It'll only work until the next SBVT ad comes out. :o)
