Bush left fighting critics on two fronts: "Richard Cohen, a Washington Post columnist, wrote yesterday that he barely turned up for his stint in the guard after six months' basic training. 'For two years or so, I played a perfectly legal form of hooky,' he wrote. 'To show you what a mess the guard was at the time, I even got paid for all the meetings I missed.'
Mr Bush's present travails date from January 20, when he delivered a weak state of the union address. His evasion on the Vietnam war echo his statements on Iraq.
Yesterday the erosion of his credibility appeared to have reached a critical point when Mr O'Reilly seemed to lose faith in the White House, saying in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America: 'I was wrong. I am not pleased about it at all and I think all Americans should be concerned about this.'"
