I agree, the issue should be dropped, but there is at least some connection between the two. It has already been found that one of the vets in a SwiftBoat ad is a Bush re-election advisor. Or at least he was, he recently resigned after the connection was reported. Whether Bush knew of this connection and/or used it is still to be determined, however.
