1. Although not the silver bullet we would hope for,

this will help-wonderful news!

[Kimber Scott]

2. Well, it might not be silver, but it's still pretty damned precious!

4. agreed

It's a start. Once it gets broadcast on a major network, the genie is out of the bottle. It could fizzle, or it could take off like the Swift Boat Liars.

3. Bernie Ward said phone calls to CBS learn Barnes piece cancelled

Website says, "Go."
Voice says, "No."

5. What on earth are you talking about?

???

6. ?

[Andromeda]

7. I heard it too.

Bernie says he will find out what's really going on and let us know.

[hlthe2b]

8. HOW? (how is he supposed to let us know?)

[Seabiscuit]

9. I just saw the guy on 60 Minutes

What was the point of spreading false rumors that the 60 Minutes special with Barnes had been cancelled????

It was a devastating segment for Dubya - not just Barnes' interview, but other interviews and new documents never seen before - showing Dubya not only suspended from flying due to a missed annual medical checkup, but also for overall substandard performance! It shows what liars Dim Son and Dam Pappy are.

10. How about the CYA memo from Lt. Col. Jerry Killion?

It seemed pretty clear to me that Killion was sending orders to Shrub and was getting response from his superior officer, Gen. James Rose.

Seems like W was ordering Generals around long before he was Commander-in-Chief.

[Seabiscuit]

11. It was Pappy's doing

Pappy had lots of political friends with military connections. W whined to Pappy, W got what he wanted. It's been the same thing all his life.

12. Damn, missed this--does 60 min. repeat?

[Nicholas_J]

13. Yup

Them memos from Bush's commanding officer about having to clean up BUsh's records to make it look like he was actually present, with the officer eventually pulling Bush's flight ticket because he got pissed off at Bush's attitude should do the trick. at least with some veterans who started dropping support for Kerry.

Bwaaahahahahahahah!
