Reply #35: Conversation with Bush [View All]

One of the Killian documents describes a conversation Killian had with Bush. Bush has had a couple of days to deny that the conversation took place and has not done so. That suggests that the memo's description of the conversation is truthful and accurate regardless of whether the memo itself is authentic or was prepared at the time of the conversation. Looking at Bush's other records in light of that conversation, it is pretty clear that Bush disobeyed the direct orders of his commanding officer.

The theories about the authenticity of the documents show that Bush's supporters are quite desperate. Very soon, the Republicans will probably do something dramatic to change the voters' focus. So, it is likely that these documents will be quickly forgotten, especially since Fox, et al. have convinced their audience that the documents are forgeries. The documents, however, are now an indelible part of the historical record. Bush will never be able to change that. The more Bush denies or ignores the Killian documents, the more interesting historians will find them and the more disastrous it will be for Bush's image in history. Bush will be remembered as a liar, now matter what happens to the documents.
