re: "The memos indicated that Bush had failed to take a physical as ordered'"

Why would someone need to 'order' a pilot to take a physical? The regs are pretty clear, no medical, no flying. Isn't that a bit like 'ordering' someone to who drives a truck for you to get a driver's license? One reason that comes to mind is that someone wanted to make the case that George Bush refused a direct order. Looks worse on a fake memo than 'Lt. Bush was removed from flying status pending his annual physical.' Just a random thought.

He wouldn't have. Bush was within his allowed time for a physical - he had until his birthday to comply - plus I don't believe he was where he would have been flying - they didn't have his plane.

Hello,

I think they will (or have) tied this accusation to the Kitty Kelly accusation of cocaine use. "...hey, Bush couldn't take a physical, his drug use would come out..." Pathetic, and rather (pun intended) early for the expected October surprise. If I am correct, this looks like all parties colluded with each other, with one ultimate (and false!) goal in sight. This is my take anyway...

Glad to be here, MOgirl
