CBS News: Bush "gamed the system" Even before the much anticipated “60 Minutes” interview with former Texas official Ben “I’m very ashamed” Barnes, CBS News delivered another blow to George W. Bush’s reputation on its Wednesday evening broadcast. CBS’ White House correspondent John Roberts reported that the network has found four documents from the files of Col. Jerry Killian, Bush’s squadron commander in the Texas Air National Guard, that call into serious question the president’s military service record. One memo located by CBS refers to a discussion between Bush and his commander about “how Bush can get out coming to drill from now through November.” Due to other commitments, Bush pleaded, “he may not have time.” On August 1, 1972, Col. Killian grounded Bush for failure to perform up to military standards and for failure to take his annual physical examination as ordered. A year after grounding Bush, Killian was asked to write another assessment of the young pilot. In this memo, an obviously exasperated Killian observes that he is being pressured by higher-ups to give Bush a positive evaluation, “to in effect, sugarcoat his review,” reported CBS. But Killian refused, writing, “I’m having trouble running interference and doing my job.” Killian is deceased, but the explosive documents he left behind threw the White House into high-spin mode. Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett tried shrugging them off, saying “it’s impossible to read the mind of a dead man.” But clearly the wave of new revelations about Bush’s National Guard years are taking their toll. Together, they paint a portrait of a careless young man with a deep sense of entitlement. As Larry Korb, an assistant Secretary of Defense under President Reagan, told CBS on Wednesday: “Essentially, Bush gamed the system to avoid serving his country the way that most of his contemporaries had to.” salon.com

"Since Bush's national guard duty was a sham and he deserted for much of that time he certainly knows nothing about the realities of war. It's easy for dimwits like Bush to tell others to send others to their death in foreign countries for no purpose and no benefit whatsoever to the American citizens. Bush has proven his total incompetence to perform the job the Supreme Court appointed him to perform. Bush, you're fired!!!" Message 20501363

>>We ought to form a production company and compete with Lion's Gate for these documentaries. There's a ton of them coming out. :) And they're all on the correct side of the issues.<< We might have some editorial issues. LOL. Oddly enough, John Kerry's life has been relatively unexamined. If he is elected on Tuesday, I think that we can expect a deluge of Kerry documentaries: “The Stalking of Theresa Heinz” “John Kerry: The Morgan Fairchild Months” “John Kerry’s Prostrate Surgery: The Videotape” “The Lost Years: John Kerry’s Senate Record” “Theresa Heinz’s Kerry’s Tax Returns” (still in turnaround due to unavailability of records) “Helmet: The Story of John Kerry’s Hair” “Extreme Sports and John Kerry: A Compensation Issue” “Motorcycle: John Kerry’s Month as a Hell’s Angel Bitch” “John Kerry’s Visit to Lambert Field” “On Your Stomach: John Kerry Hunts Deer”
