Ted, Because the evidence is inadequate.

It doesn't need to be. The burden of proof is on his accusers, not on Bush. So I ask again, why is the burden of proof on Bush?


Accusations were made based on old records and his office has failed to refute those accusations.

Numberous guys in his unit have been questioned and do not remember him. Think about it..........there were hundreds of guys in these guard units and not one remembers serving with the president of the US.

I can hardly remember whether my best friend back in high school showed up to school everyday. Does that mean my best friend skipped school? No, it just means I can't remember.


These guys don't remember that he was even in the unit let alone if he attended. Besides we are talking 12 meetings in one year, not 240 days per year for 3 or 4 years.

Just because someone doesn't remember Bush being at his post doesn't mean Bush wasn't there. It just means that guy can't remember.

Guys can't remember, people claiming he was AWOL, gaps in the records........like I said, where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Ten,

re: It doesn't need to be. The burden of proof is on his accusers, not on Bush. So I ask again, why is the burden of proof on Bush?

Because it's politics. I listened to Rush everyday saying that Kerry was guilty with the "intern", "this thing isn't over". And the "evidence" is a lot worse against Bush than against Kerry.

Get used to it. Seven months to go, a ton of mud to sling. On both sides.

John

PS Still think Bush got out of NG service with connections. What do you think?
