UNRELEASED DOCUMENT SHOWS BUSH FAILED TO FULFILL HIS COMMITMENTS
UNRELEASED DOCUMENT SHOWS BUSH FAILED TO FULFILL HIS COMMITMENTS



A newly discovered document that was withheld by the White House when it released “all the records” shows that Bush promised to serve in the Air National Guard well beyond the termination of his six year Military Service Obligation. In this document, simply labeled “AGREEMENT”, Bush acknowledges that his training will require “the expenditure of extensive public funds” and in exchange for “undergraduate pilot training”, he agreed to serve for at least five years after the completion of that training. (It has not been determined what “undergraduate pilot training refers to. Bush completed his initial pilot training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia on November 26, 1969, his “Pre-Interceptor Training at Ellington AFB in February, 1970, and his F-102 pilot training was completed on June 20, 1970.)

The source of this document was someone with unquestioned access to it, and there is no doubt regarding its authenticity. There is also no question that it has been withheld by the White House. The USA Today website has a complete sets of the documents released on February 13 on their site, and it does not contain copies of this important agreement. In addition, the White House has repeatedly claimed that all documents in Bush’s files were released, and this document originated in those files.



The legitimacy of the document is further buttressed by its being mentioned in at least one other document which was released by the White House. A document labeled “Preview and Grade Determination”, dated May 29, 1968, lists among its attachments an “AF Form 125 (includes 5 yr agreement.). And although the AF Form 125 (a “Pilot Training Agreement”), and most of the other documents listed as attachments, were part of the White House release, nothing that could be identified as a “5 year agreement” was released in February.

1. Looks like a forgery to me
Those fonts look all wrong. And is that proportional spacing I see?

And those commas just don't look right to me. And are those Microsoft Word periods?

2. Mr. Kerry, your smoking gun has arrived.
Mrs. Bush, let's see you call the Texas Air National guard a bunch of unpatriotic lying commie forgers!

4. But * was "honorably discharged"
and the media just wants to talk about typewriters.

I can't imagine what it'll take before the passive public gets it. I have a feeling that if Bush gave in and finally admitted on live TV that he crashed his F-102 while high on coke, the media and the public still wouldn't believe it.

5. The problem with all this
is that the big lie about the Swift liars was that the Navy documentation didn't back them up, well, if this is true, why did bush get an honorable discharge? Because then we have to say the honorable discharge, a military document, is untrue, but that all the Swift liar stuff is the opposite, and all that Navy documentation is true just because it's official military documentation. Isn't all this moot if he has an honorable discharge because military documentation is never wrong, right?

Did any of that make sense?

Anyway, its all

SMOKESCREAM SMOKESCREAM SMOKESCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iraq, economy, healthcare, lets not talk about those. Maybe we can keep this going another week or 2, then there's plenty of time to get to the issues before the election. Right? Right?

6. I'm so sick of hearing about this Vietnam record stuff
Edited on Wed Sep-15-04 11:26 AM by sgr2
Didn't this crap happen 30 years ago? Isn't there a war going on right now? Haven't millions of jobs been lost? Environmental protections gutted? Gun laws repealed? Deficit huge? Abortion rights at risk? Education system a mess?

I mean seriously, we're not going to win over ANY moderate voters with documents from 30 years ago. It's just not going to happen.

10. This is why Kerry isn't talking about it ...
...

He's talking about Defense against Terrorism, Jobs, Education, Healthcare, etc...

The surrogates are keeping the AWOL story alive. What does it prove. It proves that GW Bush broke an oath to show up one week a month and two weeks a year. If he cannot fullfill such a pledge, how can he fullfill the oath of office to be commander in chief 24-hours, 356 days a year for for years.

In fact, I would claim that Bush was and still is AWOL as commander in chief. He did BUMPKISS on the terrorism issue before 9/11. He's done little since besides color coded charts and using Homeland Defense as a vehicle for union busting.

He's pursued his agenda with no regard for reality since day one:
* Missle Defense
* Cut Taxes
* Cut Benefits
* Invade Iraq
* Increase Corporate Handouts
* Decrease Democracy by pushing electronic voting equipment
* Decrease personal freedoms
* Create domestic spying apparatus

7. BUSH RESPONSE IS UP!!!!!!
Edited on Wed Sep-15-04 11:37 AM by Walt Starr
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed American Public, I have one final thing I want you to consider: this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense!

Why would a Wookiee — an eight foot tall Wookiee — want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what does that have to do with this document?

Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this document! It does not make sense!

Look at me, I'm a president running a war, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.

And so you have to remember, when you're in that voting booth deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed American Public, it does not make sense.

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must ingore the document! God Bless you, and God Bless America.

The Chewbacca defense! Devastating, and impossible to counter.
