yes ... but I thought all that was a given, known or realized by most everybody. Though the latest addition to the scheme is the coordinated video produced by the DNC.
Sounds like how the DNC Bush smear was supposed to go down to me. Now if we could only implicate the RATs who are responsible, we could take the whole party down.
Very cogent, and it fits what's happening now with the DNC's new attack commercial, and only by the grace of FReepers and Bloggers, has this further plan been foiled. How sweet it is!
I didn't really see the point.
Even if everything was true, so what? They don't really compare with Kerry's leading a violent, communist-linked, anti-war organization.
Danny boy thought this was going to sink the President?
I agree. One of the 'extra' USA Today forged docs (the first one in the .pdf) has a link between Lts. Bush and Bath, the latter having some kind of drug problem in the NG. I think CBS was going to reveal these extra two docs in a later report, but they were revealed too early by USA Today in their pdf. CBS doesn't have links to the 2 extra docs on their website but the experts they consulted saw those docs and mentioned that on-air.
This whole campaign, the DNC's "Operation Fortunate Son" has been run to link President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling. It seems to have fallen flat on its face.
This assumes that they did drug testing on routine physicals back then. Does anyone know how to find out which drug tests were available and were they done on the military?
You show "1972" above ...
What did Dan know, and when did he know it?

Where is info on Bath having a drug problem? That would nail this story and show that CBS was a party to the fraud
Bingo, I guess you just answered my question.
All of this would, of course, come out slowly over the next few weeks, in follow up "investigations".
You may be right but I think the reason is a lot simpler. Just to keep questioning Bush's past in the news and, Like a poster mentioned, coordinate it with the Dems new attack ad. Boy, did that boomerang. Nice job Freepers.
The memos took the focus off of the Swiftboat Vets and Kerry's record..
"A bevy of New York Times reporters have this: "CBS has refused to say how it obtained the documents. But one person at CBS, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed a report in Newsweek that Bill Burkett, a retired National Guard officer who has charged that senior aides to then-Governor Bush had ordered Guard officials to remove damaging information from Mr. Bush's military personnel files, had been a source of the report. This person did not know the exact role he played."
For tis sport, to have the engineer Hoist with his own petard...
"Linking President Bush and Laura to a history of drug abuse and drug selling. It seems to have fallen flat on its face."
Because, it is so absurd it is laughable! Nobody in their right mind (which excludes the DNCCBS) would make a charge like this without tons of incontrovertable evidence. It just made the DNCCBS look like lunatics IMO.
What's next, the President enjoys necrophilia?
Laura Bush is a Vampire?
:o)
From another thread last night
To: plushaye
Yes, you have it right, with one missing detail that I read on DU. They claim that there was another pilot decommissioned at the same time for cocaine use and that Bush must be guilty by association, but the records were scrubbed. Don't ask me how they accessed the other guys records.

I did read the same thing on one of those awolbush-type websites when I was checking them out. They're rather horrific so I didn't stay too long on them but this same thing has been spouted by the x-files types for a while.
The old DUI story hurt the President in 2000, it looks like the rats were banking on a similar "coke" story.
