...but it probably won't.
The letter is too long to excerpt, but in essence, it provides a clear rebuttal to all the innuendo and speculation surrounding Bush's service in the National Guard, and utterly dispells any notions of impropriety.
Add to that this report where contemporaries do remember President Bush returning to Montgomery to complete his drills and the last vestiges of the "scandal" should die.
But it won't, for one real reason. The economy is going well, unemployment is down, reconstruction in Iraq is continuing, albeit with setbacks and challenges. Barring some major disaster, the only issue they really have to run on is personality, and Bush is still widely popular. So they have to find something to attack him with, and this is all they could find. The fact that it's completely based on lies and innuendo is irrelevant to them. Listen to this utter nonsense from McAuliffe:
"We also still do not know why the president's superiors filed a report saying they were unable to evaluate his performance for that year because he had not been present to be evaluated," he said. "That report was filed on the very day these documents allege he was reporting for duty."
Think Terry! If he's reporting for duty on the day the fitrep was issued, how could he possibly be evaluated by his new commanding officer for the previous year?
If this is the best the Dems can come up with, they're in deep trouble come November.

I think the lies of leftist propagandists are so stupid. Why don't they go to school and learn something? Recent investigations reveal why Bush has been unable to talk about his time with the Reserves. He wasn't AWOL!
He was on a secret mission for the US special forces. He went to Vietnam and several other countries on secret government missions. The secret organization was called Special Undercover Missions Service (SUMS), an elite air-force agency specializing in national security and acts of espionage.
One of his missions was to build the world's largest eight-track-tape factory in China.
Nixon was thrilled with Bush's work. Just do a search on Bush "missing years" and you will find plenty of facts. Our president is a super-hero! Quit lying about him.
