The story that won't go away.

As I sit here blogging in my "Peace through superior firepower" t-shirt listening to President Bush on TV with the interim Iraqi Prime Minister, It strikes me that Bush keeps repeating something that the leftys don't seem to get. That we really had a choice with the terrorists. Take the fight to the middle east or fight them here on our soil. Because you really cannot deny the terrorists are there. They blow up things or behead someone daily. Whether they came into Iraq before or after the war doesn't matter. There are THERE and we are hunting them THERE, not here. And that is the important fact we cannot forget.


Have to agree with Jeff at protein wisdom that maybe a beheading of a American in Iraq might be more newsworthy than the Rather story.

Dan Rather finally said he was sorry. He made a mistake. So I guess we should just move on, huh? Well, as much as Mr. Rather would like that, there are a few problems. First we need to address the fact that Rather had no intention of looking into his fake story until journalistic pressure was too much to ignore. Second, apologies need to be made to Killian's family, the other officers involved in the "memo." and finally, to President Bush himself. This story was not only a lie to the American people about their President, but it dishonored soldiers involved.
There is no doubt this was shoddy journalistic work. First when Rather finally broke through the ice of reality and admitted that the memos might be fake, he insisted that the "story" was accurate. But all involved, with the exception of the 82 yr old "anybody but Bush" secretary, said that it wasn't true.
Now we know that the source of the documents is Burkett, a dedicated democrat given to nervous breakdowns and conspiracy theories. I find it hard to believe that this is Rather's "unimpeachable" source.
Dan may be sorry (he got caught) but this is hardly the end of this story. Not by a long shot.

Let us not forget how wrong our lefty buddy Kos insisted on being.

For a roundup on the Lockhart/Kerry campaign/CBS/Burkett connections you can always count on Hewitt.
