But your assessment is pretty much on target. Rick Clark |

Will she be a viable presidential candidate in 2008 if she's defeated in 2006? That broad is extremely lucky. She can fall into a septic tank, come up with a bunch of roses and convince the world that some Republican pushed her in and that Slick Wille sent her the roses. Rick |

Joe Mamma wrote in message . ..
Nobody had to go to court to get Bush's records. He released them. Then this sure was a waste of time: http://www.theunionleader.com/articl...?article=44097 Why did that happen? Because some people think the DoD is withholding docs despite being order by the President to release. Given the DoD can't even keep "secret" things secret, it seems extremely unlikely that they would conspire with parties unknown to deliberately withhold documents that Bush had ordered released. The scenario they're (liberal kooks in this case) imaging is this: The President, their boss, the big kahuna, orders them to locate and release all relevant documents pertaining to his military service. But, via some occult side-channel, they're told not to look too hard etc. Well, alas to the person in the middle! In real life, all sorts of alarm bells would sound and red lights would flash, and there'd be leaking to the press galore etc. What really happens is stuff like this: that the official retention period for some records passed long ago. They're not found under Bush or any other likely heading. They're presumed destroyed in accordance with policy. Later, when rearranging things or cleaning, some drips and drabs of said files are located under Tree or Shrub etc. etc. But to the conspiratorial-minded this is implausible, of course! There must be a conspiracy. ;-) So in addition to the President ordering the docs to be released, we'll get some judge to order the DoD to look again. It's kind of amusing, actually. Speaking of documents, tho, why can't Kerry release all his military records? I know he's an honest and honorable person. I'm sure he doesn't have anything he wants to hide. He's a war hero after all. So what's the big idea not releasing all his service records? He is running for President. Seems relevant, especially since he's made an issue of his heroism and capscity to lead .... I'm surprised CBS hasn't looked into this. wd |

You seem obsessed, for some reason, with that acronym. Wonder if he knows what the term means. As we would say in Texas: AWOL: "And W wOn 'Lection" |
