NYTimes: Bush Says Questions About Guard Memos Used by CBS 'Need to Be Answered'
Absolutely!
And here are the questions that the American people most need to have answered:
- How could you possibly support the war in Vietnam—as you've often said you did, Mr. President—and then go out of your way to avoid serving in it? Was this just the vagaries of growing up privileged, or did you have some other reason for pulling strings and hiding out in the Texas Air National Guard?
- Finally, and for history's sake: Aside from those few hours you spent actually working on a losing Senate campaign, just WHERE WERE YOU between May 1972 and May of 1973? What were you doing and who were you doing it with? And just WHY WON'T ANY OF THEM VOUCH FOR YOU? What did you DO to these people?
- Why didn't you just find someone else's urine to hand in when you found out that the National Guard had just added drug testing to their basic yearly physical?
- Over the course of the rest of your life, did you really think there would never be any repercussions from your ignoring a direct order from a superior officer?
- Why did you choose cocaine over flying, when you seemed to enjoy flying so—and it was something you were actually even pretty good at? Isn't it fun soaring around above Houston after a few lines and a bellyfull of Jim Beam?
- Is there ANYONE credible whom you could produce from that time period to vouch for you and your actions—who wouldn't also be confessing to committing a felony simply by describing their interactions with you? Or at least be boring people with their tales of hanging out in a bar with you all day?
- Why did you not clear all of this up before you decided to enter politics—where this type of skeleton is always outed—thereby creating an on-going web of lies told by a slew of staffers on your behalf, from Austin to Washington, DC?
- Why in heaven's name did you think that none of this was ever going to get out?
- Do you really think that you're going to be able to simply ignore this deceit—now that the American people have a clearer picture of what you did 32 years ago, and how you been lying about it and covering it up for twenty years, even to today?
- Do you actually think that your average American will ever be able to think of you in the context of Commander-in-Chief again without laughing?
- Are you clear that this is a serious character issue? And you seem to be standing on the wrong side of it?
- And are you aware that this issue is making you look worse by the day, and may end up costing you the election?
And lastly, but most importantly:
- WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!??
These are the types of questions that the American voters need answers to.
