Dan Rather stands by his story
His lawsuit will attempt to show that CBS tried to suppress the report on Bush's National Guard Service and the Abu Ghraib abuses.

  • re: Where Were Bush's National Guard Buddies?

    "For man known for being a party guy, why haven't we ever heard from men who served with him?"

    A few of them HAVE said he was there...which is what is generating the confusion. Was he there or wasn't he? That is one of the things everyone is wanted evidence of. Unfortunately, the National Guard didn't keep records quite as well in those days as they do now.

    The DA Form 1379 wasn't kept up as much. So if you were out on a class or something, you were just marked as present, rather than excused absence or split drill or something along those lines.

    As for where all his buddies are that were his "drinking buddies", well, all I can say is, do YOU remember everyone you used to drink with 30 - 40 years ago?
