Edwards wants Bush to address Guard memos

NASHUA - President Bush should have to explain newly released records that reveal his former Texas National Guard superior was asked to “sugar coat” performance records after finding Bush failed standards to be a trained pilot, Sen. John Edwards said Thursday.

“I think they are reasonable and legitimate questions the White House ought to answer,” Edwards said during an interview with The Telegraph.

Edwards said the American people have “moved on” and already dismissed attacks from a pro-Bush veterans group that Kerry didn’t deserve combat medals he received during the Vietnam War and had endangered prisoners of war with his strident protest of the war upon his return.

“I think people believe it’s time for us to talk about them, what are we going to do to improve their lives and how are we going to do that.”

2. I get the feeling Edwards remarks were edited

Cause the way they are presented they make him look schizophrenic or hypocritical. "President Bush should answer these questions about his past; questions about our past should be ignored because we want to move on to the issues." I'm pretty sure that's not what Mr. Edwards actually meant.

So i'm pretty sure there were some remarks in between those two lines that got dropped.

3. I cut a paragraph before the last one

I'll fix it to show that but I agree that his comments seemed incomplete. There will have to be some triangulation though to keep this ball floating and make the public aware that our main focus is on the issues and concerns of voters. I'm suprised that Edwards touched this, but not concerned. Bush shouldn't slip through a loose noose.
