This is what I was talking about last night, this guy is the smoking gun:

BREAKING NEWS: They are authentic says Killian's superior Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges
"A senior CBS official, who asked not to be named because CBS managers did not want to go beyond their official statement, named one of the network's sources as retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, the immediate superior of the documents' alleged author, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian. He said that a CBS reporter read the documents to Hodges over the phone, and that Hodges replied that "these are the things that Killian had expressed to me at the time."

'Trump card'
"These documents represent what Killian not only was putting in memoranda, but was telling other people," the CBS News official said. "Journalistically, we've gone several extra miles."

The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity, as he is a Republican who acknowledged that he did not want to hurt Bush. Hodges, who declined to grant an on-camera interview to CBS, did not respond to messages left on his home answering machine in Texas."

J Chris,

You realize that Bush accumulated enough points to be honorable discharged for all 6 years right? This is documented. Before you hang your hat on this, I'd recommend you check some facts on his service. If Bush missed some drills, but made enough points throughout the year to fulfill his obligations, then I don't think there is a story.

Re: even if the documents ARE proved to be fake. It's obvious the guy got in on dubious merit, and didn't serve "Honorably"

Its only obvious to those who think the King's clothes are beautiful...
