Jim, Re: "Is the egg still on their face though? Why do they continue to hang themselves?" I have even seen some reports that the DNC is trying to blame Karl Rove for "planting" these documents and fooling CBS. Hahaha The liberals are in total disarray. Make It So, Yousef

September 8, 2004 at 7:38 PM Democrats accuse Bush of lying about his Air National Guard service Matt Kelley, Associated Press September 9, 2004 GUAR0909 "The Defense Department on Tuesday released more than two dozen pages of records about Bush and his former Texas unit. They showed Bush flew for 336 hours in military jets after his flight training and ranked in the middle of his class. The latest records do not shed any light on key questions about Bush's service: whether or where he trained in late 1972 and early 1973, why he skipped a required medical exam and whether he was investigated or punished for skipping the exam and six months' worth of training in 1972. Pentagon officials said they discovered the documents released Tuesday while performing a more comprehensive search ``out of an abundance of caution'' in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by The Associated Press. The newly released records also showed that while Bush says he was in Alabama training with another Guard unit in 1972, his home unit in Texas was participating in the air defense of the southern United States by keeping two jet fighters constantly ready for launch within five minutes' notice. Democrats said that meant Bush passed on a chance to defend his country. Bush flew the F-102A jets his unit kept on alert but was grounded in August 1972 because of the missed medical check. ``When his unit was placed on a 24-hour alert mission to protect our country from surprise attack, why did George Bush not report for duty?'' Democratic National Committee head Terry McAuliffe said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday. McAuliffe also suggested Bush lied when he said he had released all available records and had fulfilled his Guard obligations. ``Either George Bush was deliberately lying to the American public or he had some type of very severe memory loss,'' McAuliffe said." startribune.com
