DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN? How many times must I say this to where it sinks into your thick skull. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WORD "SOUGHT" AND THE WORD "BOUGHT." GET IT?? Here are the 16 words:
* A British intelligence review released July 14 calls Bush’s 16 words “well founded.” * A separate report by the US Senate Intelligence Committee said July 7 that the US also had similar information from “a number of intelligence reports,” a fact that was classified at the time Bush spoke. * Ironically, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who later called Bush’s 16 words a “lie”, supplied information that the Central Intelligence Agency took as confirmation that Iraq may indeed have been seeking uranium from Niger . * Both the US and British investigations make clear that some forged Italian documents, exposed as fakes soon after Bush spoke, were not the basis for the British intelligence Bush cited, or the CIA's conclusion that Iraq was trying to get uranium. By the way, we are now officially :offtopic: :offtopic: |

My whole point was, that those words were reported to be a clerical error rather than owning up to the fact that he said it and meant it. |

Still off topic, but who said it was a clerical error? |

Okay, let's look that article:
That doesn't sound like a clerical error. In fact, no where in that article does the word "clerical" or "error" appear.
I believe Dr. Rice has said it all. Now, can we get back on topic? |

^^^ You turkey!!! I was going to post that very paragraph from OpinionJournal.com. I find this part most salient, "For years we've been hearing from the Democrats that President Bush is a dummy, an illegitimate president, a liar, a military deserter, a 'moral coward' and another Hitler--but now Kerry is begging Bush to use his moral authority to get him out of a fix that he himself created by running a campaign based almost entirely on 'war hero' braggadocio." |

Something else that just appeared, that I actually missed. Kerry's website lists his DD-214 form, which shows a Silver Star with a combat "V." The "V" stands for valor, and is NEVER awarded with the Silver Star. It can come with the Bronze Star, but it is implied by the award itself. (For those who don't know, the DD-214 is your military Report of Separation.) Was the combat “V” added by a sloppy clerk or a yeoman’s typo thirty years ago? Was someone pressured or persuaded to add it? If Kerry had nothing to do with the gratuitously added combat “V,” why didn’t he have his DD 214 corrected when he was separated from the Navy? Which gives rise to the second disturbing question: If Kerry was not a party to the unauthorized “V,” why, for all these years, has he allowed his DD 214 to remain uncorrected and to repose on his website? UPDATE: I just went to his website and the DD-214 form is now gone! As I said before, Good thing I have a copy! http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/jkmilservice/DD-214.pdf Ooops! |
