Bush Memos were forged by Rove - A belief I have held for a while

[ck4829]

It's just now coming out.

But, some people, myself included, have held the belief that the Bush memos were part of a strategy made by Karl Rove himself.

The memos which were seen as forgeries made it look as though questioning Bush's service meant you were using something that was seen as a forgery. And thus, any argument against Bush's questionable military service was seen as invalid.

I have written about it back in October in Anti-CNP

The message reads

Newly released documents from George W. Bush's military personnel
files lead new weight to the theory that the White House engineered
the recent scandal regarding CBS's use of the "Killian memos".
Acting under a court order, on Friday, September 24, the Department
of Defense released 10 new pages of documents, including an official
Texas Air National Guard memo which conclusively refutes the
technological questions that were raised about the "Killian memos."

And it can now be shown that these "new documents" were deliberately
withheld by the White House when it released "absolutely everything"
on February 13, 2004.

The document in question is a memo written to "First Lieutenant
George W. Bush" notifying him of his promotion to First Lieutenant.
The memo is dated Febrary 19, 1971, more than a year before the date
on the first of the Killian memos. And, like the Killian memos, this
document uses a "proportionately spaced font", and has all the
characteristics of a document produced on a modern day computer
using "Microsoft Word".

1. I always thought Rove was running the White House ...period....

2. Yeah, I think that too

Meanwhile Kerry's service was trampled on and belittled until GW who bravely guarded Alabama from the Viet Cong was as much a war hero as a triple purple heart winner. Disgusting.

3. On Bill Maher the other night

Bill was talking about the drones flying over Iran. Then he said, You know what a drone is, don't you? It's a pilotless plane, much like the plane used when GW was in the National Guard.


I still can't believe how that whole mess went down. Kerry's service was trashed & W's wasn't even questioned. The American people are soooooooooo stupid!

5. personally, i could care less

what they did during Vietnam. My dad went to the National Guard during 'Nam and I certainly don't think any less of him. It was stupid that this was even an issue and it was over the top stupid that a decorated veteran was portrayed as a fraud and a coward and a glory hound and unpatriotic and no one in the media stood up for him or refused to report that garbage.

4. Yep. And the AKA Gannon web sites worry me also

for the same reason. When they have no defense from a legitimate story, they have a game plan to discredit everything about it to hold off until the nation's short collective attention span has been distracted.

6. After reading this article, I realize that Rove, not Bush, is the problem.
