The service question
A review of President Bush's Guard years raises issues about the time he served
By Kit R. Roane

Last February, White House spokesman Scott McClellan held aloft sections of President Bush's military record, declaring to the waiting press that the files "clearly document the president fulfilling his duties in the National Guard." Case closed, he said.

But last week the controversy reared up once again, as several news outlets, including U.S. News, disclosed new information casting doubt on White House claims.

The U.S. News analysis also showed that during the final two years of his obligation, Bush did not comply with Air Force regulations that impose a time limit on making up missed drills. What's more, he apparently never made up five months of drills he missed in 1972, contrary to assertions by the administration. White House officials did not respond to the analysis last week but emphasized that Bush had "served honorably."

Some experts say they remain mystified as to how Bush obtained an honorable discharge.

HAHA - mystified my ass!

1. Ha ha ha ha ha "mystified"

Yeah, BIG mystery that is.

4. Babs is one hot mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Not

[shrub chipper]

11. I like your picture of dear ,'sweet' Barbara

Can you imagine the outcry if a Democrat had spoken that line-they would have been crucified for disrespecting the Military!

2. Oh shit

The RW can't blame it all on CBS news now.

3. John Allen Muhammed received an honorable discharge

This, after he was charged with theft, striking an officer, and going AWOL. He served seven days in the brig. After leaving the LA National Guard with his honorable discharge, he went on to become better known as the DC Sniper.

Mystified by Bush's honorable discharge, indeed.

7. as did Timothy McVeigh

5. I never thought of USN&WR as right wing...

I always thought it moderate-right at best (or worst).
And I much prefer them to Time or Newsweek.

6. Very Conservative Rag

8. Files at USA Today - are some of these new?

Look at this pdf:

First doc:

==============================
01 February 1972

SUBJECT: Flight Qualifications

Harris,

Update me as soon as possible on flight certifications. Specifically - Bath and Bush.

12. There were 4..

and now there are 6. Is this linked in an article?

The other new one is dated June 24, 1973.

I wonder where these new ones came from.

[Spazito]

16. Wow, a document that ties Bath and Bush directly...

I don't think I have seen one before. This is getting VERY interesting! Thanks for pointing out the PDF!

[girl gone mad]

17. They both..

had their flight status revoked on the same day for failing to take and pass a physical.

Bath's name is blacked out in this copy, but there is another copy without the redaction. It was in F 9/11, and I'm sure it exists somewhere on the web.

9. My ass is mystified that he's still in offce as POTUS.

I understand the corruption that keeps him there, but I just can't accept it. Merka is sure to be attacked, shunned or held accountable for any number of things if Merkins can't dump this criminal impostor.

10. Ya know what woulda been cool? When Clark was challenged

by Jennings at one of the pseudo debates about the AWoL CHARGE he should have actually studied this and compared Bush's record w/ real military regulation. He should have went into a long technical tirade about it. He should have showed that he takes no shit from worms like Jennings and that he has the goods to dish it out to fuckwads like Bush.

Instead he kinda just skirted the issue, trying to play it safe. In so doing, he became a wallflower.

[girl gone mad]

13. He didn't become a wallflower..

he was attacked by pretty much everyone in the media for not defending Bush's honor.

Clark was already working against the perception that he was a hothead. I don't think a tirade would have beneffited him or us at that time. I do think the convention would have been a good time. You have to understand, though, that the media is working against us on this issue.

[Bread and Circus]

14. Well....I'm probably one the biggest Clark supporters on DU...

and I say he became a wallflower dammit!

But seriously, I think he would have done better for himself and been more genuine by actually challenging he Pres on the AWOL issue right then and there.

15. conservative source

Yes, even conservative sources are now joining truth speakers in asserting and proving that Bush is an AWOL crook who is unfit for the office of the Presidency.

Worst president in history!

Liar!

AWOL crook!

Usurper!

Stealer of $200 billion from our treasury!

Killer of 1000 Americans!


IMPEACH BUSH!!!
