Very good analysis, deport. You are exactly right.

Notice how we keep getting the question about whether the President's staff has ever issued a statement. It is meant to imply that they have no rebuttal, and therefore this article is true.

If I remember correctly, this whole canard is due to missing records from the National Guard, which given that they happened almost 30 years ago is not unusual. My father's WWII records are also missing, but I still believe he served (and have the medals to prove it).

New tactic by the left: show up asking for information to refute a scandalous charge. Bah!

Please don't create a monster here. I asked a simple question and you immediately accuse me of some other unstated purpose. Is it that hard to deal with a simple question about the source of an official position on this topic.

Apparently I touched a raw nerve with this question. OK, but if it is a recurring concern to you, then you should have an immediate answer to my simple question, "What is the link to the official position?"
