Morwai, sadly, it probably isn’t going away, even though all those points have been beaten to death again and again, because if you’re a “journalist” and you don’t like an answer, you can generally find someone to question it.

If you go back and read the discussion of this back four years ago, or when Bush was running for Governor, you can find someone to say this same business about “they don’t know how Bush got an Honorable Discharge.”

The answer, which never seems to get as much press, is that the Air Force’s computized accounting system shows that Bush accumulated sufficient “points” to complete his requirements. The records were reviewed by retired JAGs and personnel specialists, in service and out, and they all said “yeah, all there.”

Then Lawrence Korb, who isn’t a JAG, isn’t a military man, and who has been an opponent of the more vigorous defense approach since he left Reagan’s DoD, takes a break from writing books with Gary Hart and says something, and back it comes.

Honestly, if the records were all that unequivocal, why is it that Bush’s opponents had to forge paperwork to bolster their case?
