They might be released, but no one's going to be paying any attention to them. CBS has cooked this goose.
Yes....Mary Mapes told a local conservative talk show host this week that CBS would have MORE documents coming too. We shall see.
If they aren't original un-retouched papers, NO ONE will believe them now.
If they think they can put out a bunch of photocopied documents now, they ARE fools.
Yep, we'll be reporting on them as soon as they get back from the printers.
Suspicious timing, doncha know????
I care about this much () about Bush's Guard days.
Guess the media is fixated on this. The public isn't.
CBS would play its best cards. The followup cards are throw away trump.
Looks like Bill "Panama Jack" Burkett has been busy reconstructing fake-but-accurate documents for months, if not years. (Hope Kinkos has fire insurance.)
I think it is a stall tatic, saying they can not release their sources as they are still investigating "other docuemnts" and then they will pat themselves on the back for not runnning the other fake documents.
But I thought it had been established:
Commanders do not ORDER anyone to take a physical (so Bush didn't ignore an order)
Physicals had to be taken before your birthday (Bush was out of the Guard by his next birthday)
Even with a revoked flight status, Bush would still have been an officer is good standing.
Bush served more than enough time to qualify for an Honorable Discharge.
They are probably busy retyping them on IBM selectrics they've purchased on ebay.
No amount of popcorn and soda pop will work for that one.
Even idiots will only watch a re-run but so many times.
But, hey ... it's their party.
BTTT
The documents McLellan was talking about have already been released, I think--they're the ones that included the letter from the President's father.
As to other "original sources" they might be leaning on--if they're as "original" as the last sources, it should be fun proving those, too, are forgeries.
I will bet they (C:BS!)have spent the last week working up forgeries on a typewriter that would have been used back in the 70's. If I were a student of journalism or a journalist- even a respectable American-, I would be storming the offices of CBS demanding Dan Rather be fired at a public forum. This is so damned obviously a fraud and coverup, with such deep and high-ranking connections, it makes Enron, Arthur Andersen, and Iran-Contra the stuff of a PBS children's program. (Though I won't comment on the damage PBS has done to children...)
What irks me further is the relative silence from CBS. It DOES NOT take this many days or weeks to review the authenticity if these documents and come to an honest and forthright conclusion about them. So keep digging, Danny boy. But the disservice and fraud you continue to propogate against journalism, the search for truth and justice- indeeed, the basic foundations of western democracy- now simply expose the intellectually vile flesh and guts of a man we always knew of who tries to hide behind the skin of an objective reporter.
The first 4 documents were just a test run - by now they've figured out how to make really good forgeries and maybe even bought themselves an old typewriter on ebay.
"CBS is leaning on its original sources to see if they will go on the record, he added."
I just read on another thread that Dan Rather has been spotted on a Texas flight. These guys are not ready to quit and the next round of "documents" will probably be better forgeries. In the mean time, he needs to get a few other faces to stick in front of the camera who will stand with him in this Texas Tall Tale until the end....[may it come soon.]
I just don't understand. The media keeps harping about Bush's records but gee whiz Kerry still has several pages of his military service records that have not been released.
Too late this is a well known fraud..
