Who was the first person to say this as if it were a truthhood? IOW, Shermy's question - from where did the idea come?

The idea comes from a document that says Bush was disqualified from flight, in part for not showing up for a physical. These facts were contained in documents "released by Bush." It was wishful thinking that there was a direct written order that Bush ignored.

<< It was wishful thinking that there was a direct written order that Bush ignored. >>

Was it in all honesty wishful thinking, or was somebody consciously misphrasing it - AKA lying?

If we can pin-point the original lie, there is a chance we're close to the source of the current forgery.
