I missed this one earlier, so since this thread has gotten WAY off topic for so long, I feel the need to bring it back.

(3) That the disputed documents reflect his true (negative) feelings about Bush and a contemporaneous official document he wrote lauding Bush did not.
(4) That he typed the documents on a technically advanced typewriter, an IBM Selectric Composer--though that model has been tested and failed to produce an exact copy of the documents.
(5) That this advanced typewriter, which would have cost $15,000 or so in today's dollars, was used by the Texas National Guard and that Killian had gained the significant expertise needed to operate it.
(6) That Killian was under pressure to whitewash Bush's record from a general who had retired 18 months earlier.
(7) That Killian's superior, Maj. Gen. Bobby Hodges, was right when, sight unseen, he supposedly said the documents were authentic, but wrong when, having actually viewed the documents, he declared them fraudulent.
Now if you can't accept all that, there's another side. To believe the documents are forgeries, you have to believe this:
(1) The documents were typed recently using Microsoft Word, which produces documents that are
exact copies of the CBS documents.
(2) There's no number 2. All you have to believe is number 1.
A quick look at what experts could not make the IBM Selectric or the laughable $18,000 IBM Composer in the hands og National Guard do.Amazingling Microsoft Word gets the font,superscript,spacing everything done pat.

His secretary and colleagues has said he has said the exact things that are actually in the documents.
And as for your little animation, I will copy and past the exact thing I said to you at the "other" forum:
Look at the 8 and the 3 in the date. Look at how wide the top of the J is in SUBJECT.
Look at the lowercase m in Memo. It shows an imperfection in the strike. A computer printer doesn't do that.
Look at how the e in File shifts. Hell look at all the e's
Look at how the twin s's in pressured go from being the same size as as the letters that surround (in the msword) it to being visibly larger on top and bottom (in the actual document).
Look at the number 2 on the last line. See how it changes? It is not the same font.
FINALLY, look at the "th" in 187th:
in the reproduction: it is directly in line with the 187.
In the Original: It is significantly superscripted from the upper line of 187. WHY couldn't your buddy on spacetown do the same thing with microsoft? Maybe because it's impossible to do with MSWord?
IF this was done using MSWord, then why can't your disbelievers post a better copy than this? I think this animation though not proving that it is original, was DEFINETLEY not done on a computer (at least unless a forger had the idea to then take his document into photoshop and modify the Times New Roman to match a Selectric Times New Roman and create type errors that exist in all typewritten documents [ie ink bleeds]).
btw, I hate debating the past, I dunno why I am doing it. I guess... though I don't care to bash on Bush for this, I also don't want to see others suppress, ignore, revise his past to make him look better in the now...
I would rather this subject had been ignored all together so we can focus on important issues of today such as the loss of controll of Iraq outside of the Green Zone etc...
