OMFG!!! ABC and CBS PWN Bush!!!

[chequita guevara]

Tonight on World News Tonight Peter Jennings showed documents obtained by an Freedom of Information Act request showing that the Pentagon has no documentation that Bush showed up at all for his Alabama duty. Further, when Bush was discharged from the TANG, he signed a document stating he would enlist with a local Air Force Reserver (maybe ANG) unit where ever he was going (Massachuesetts). Bush never enlisted when he got to MA, but the Pentagon claims he didn't need to because he was enlisted with a unit in Denver.

Meanwhile, on CBS's 60 Minutes: Wednesday, documents obtained from Bush's former commander include one titled, "CYA" (Cover Your Ass for the clueless). The gist of the document was that he was being ordered to sugar over Bush's failure to meet TANG standards, including disobeying a direct order to report for a physical. Another document from this same commander reports that he has recieved no confirmation from AANG that Bush even contacted them.

Someone's in trouble.

PWNED!

Maybe he'll actually crack down on those attacks on Kerry's service to try to prevent Kerry from unleashing his dogs on this stuff.

[Verto]

Wasn't it only in 2000 or so that Kerry got an honorable discharge?

You should have watched Lehrer. Two ex-military men, one of whom was a general, and both of whom are academics who contract for the Department of Defence pointed out that the insurgency has built huge momentum (the increase in number of attacks is staggering) and that the administration's only plan is to try and get Iraq out of the headlines.

Apparently it's working, there were 250,000 press articles a day on Iraq a couple of months back and only 150,000 now.

ABC and CBS -- the same networks that did not mention the Swiftboat Vets until Kerry denounced them, and then spent all their time smearing those veterans?

The partisan stink from ABC and CBS is almost overpowering.

I did. It was hilarious. Bush's plan for dealing with Iraq is hoping the media stops covering it.

[Agathon]

I wish Kerry would crack and just come out with something like:

"These chickenhawks, who avoided service in war themselves are painting themselves as heroic crusaders when all they are is cowards."

That's because responsible news organizations don't repeat allegations without proof. Nor did they smeer those vets, but simply let them impeach their own credibility.

Brilliant, wasn't it.

I wish more newscasts were as good as that.

Funny how ABC and CBS have very low organizations with very little credibility. They aren't responsible, chegitz. They are partisan bull**** artists.

CBS mentioned that the records show Bush was an outstanding pilot. That's something I didn't know. However, Bush failed to show up for mandatory pilot training in '72, the same year he didn't show up for his physical and was disqualified from flying. In both cases, he disobeyed a direct order.

Given the CYA document, it's clear the only reason Bush got an honorable discharge is due to his political connections.

ABC is Disney, I thought Disney was right-wing if anything?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I can't wait for 'Texans with Truth' to come out with their ads on this, as the CNN.com article said they were .

[The Mad Monk]

Bush probably missed the physical, et al, due to drugs.

We already know about the drugs.

Anything new?
