4. Okay...

Soldiers have been writing multiple letters claiming that all is well in Iraq. Some military kooks in the Bush Crime Family are then copying the letter and forging signatures of other soliders.

Jesus Christ, Bill Vander Zalm and Glen Clark were disgraced from the B.C. premiership for far less than that.

6. Nope...
I haven't even seen it anywhere but this article. If it makes the main stream news, it will be seen as Bush getting desperate to make his failure in Iraq look good, but not much more than that.

A small chink in the armor at best.

7. HA!!! You think THIS will bring him down? LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY
I mean it's pathetic, it's ridiculous, it's humiliating for them, but....

Nooooooooooooo ......

Not a chance, sorry.

It probably won't even make it into the mainstream media.

Military's done this before. Usually with fictional soldiers, tho

10. It may not bring him down but shows the desperation of the Master
Pubs.

How far will they go to twist truth with deception?

Its a HURT for the Bush Guys.

11. It was mentioned on one of the network news broadcasts
a couple of nights ago but Bush has far bigger problems than this one.

It won't be one thing that brings him down, just the combination of a lot of things.

13. Nope
If outing a CIA agent hasn't done it, and starting fake wars to steal oil didn't do it, and losing the fake wars because the insurgents formed a real army didn't do it, then this story, which is fairly lightweight, won't do it either.

Course, if Clinton had done it they'd have strung him up by the balls over it.
