Time Article on Bush and National Guard

uh... How embarrassing...

Actually, no, I'm, embarrased to say, I'm obviously NOT smart enough to connect the dots to which you refer.

Would you be so kind as to connect them for me in a way that even I might be able to understand?

 

Re: uh... How embarrassing...

Don't be embarrassed...I expected no more of you.

Suffice it to say that it's entirely possible that given the training,
security clearance, and family background of then-Lt. George Bush, it is entirely possible that he spent that 9 mos. to
one year doing things that said security clearance requires him to remain mum about to this day. Things that would cause a mysterious gap in a service record. A little flying for "The Company" shall we say.

I'm sure you'll scoff at that notion, since it doesn't fit in with what you want to believe. That's OK though, because once again, I expect little more than that from you. I'm guessing that you've never served anyway, so you have little notion of how these things work...especially how they worked back then.

 

Oh... Secret Agent Bush, eh?

Of course, that explains everything.

Secret Agent Bush was flying super secret missions for the CIA even though he voluntarily elected to allow his flight clearance to lapse.

Why, Secret Agent Bush was probably flying around chasing all those monkeys that seem to keep flying out of your azz.

 

Re: Oh... Secret Agent Bush, eh?

Like I said...I knew you weren't bright enough to connect the dots. And you didn't disappoint.

I knew you'd scoff. Your narrow little mind can't comprehend
the notion that things might not be the way you want them
to be. Somebody counters your argument with something plausible, and sarcasm is all you have in response. Weak.

Tell ya what, Ace...why don't you dig a little deeper? Why stop
at talking to people who claim that W wasn't at drill in Alabama, and instead, find a signed lease or landlord or some evidence that can prove that he was in Alabama at the time, yet AWOL?

You're taking an absence of evidence as evidence of wrongdoing.
Good thing for Bill Clinton you were on his side, huh? Otherwise, you'd have him under the jail, using your
reasoning (or lack thereof).

 

In Texas Bush flew a great deal, right up until the month he was "transferred" to the Alabama Air National Guard. After that he acquired the bare minimum of "points" to stay qualified for the retirement system.

A Texas Air National Guard officer has recently reiterated his charge that his commanding officer got orders from the Texas Governor's office, while Bush was Governor, to "sanitize" Bush's records there.

Bush went from flying a great deal to never flying again when he went to Alabama. No credible person remembers seeing Bush in Alabama on duty.

It would seem that "something" happened near the end of Bush's Texas Air National Guard service.

Bush has made his military service an issue. He dresses up as a combat pilot and lands on aircraft carriers for a photo op. He says Kerry's opposition to the Vietnam War is relevent now. I would say that Bush's military record is therefore also relevent.

We have a right to the answers.

 

Before asking the question of why Bush was not reported as AWOL, one might ask how Bush got into the Texas Air National Guard in the first place, when there was a long list of applicants for one position. He got favorable treatment to get in because of his father, and he probably got favorable treatment while he was "in" the Guard.

 

Hey Phatass, BTW:

Riddle me this, Batman...since Daddy IS after all, head of the CIA, why go AWOL at all? Why not have him pull some strings and get you out? Hell, for that matter why even serve at all? If the head of the CIA can cover up his son's AWOL, SURELY he could have gotten him out of service altogether...wouldn't you think?

The fact of the matter is there was no AWOL. If you're AWOL (or, if you knew anything about the UCMJ, you'd realize that what you're alleging is desertion, a far more serious offense) you will be prosecuted...I don't care if Daddy is
President. Lt. George Bush received no more special treatment
for who he was than you would for who you are. Get over it already.

 

By the way, the commanding officer who was reportedly ordered to sanitize Bush's Texas Air National Guard records is now the commanding officer of the entire US Air National Guard.

How did he get that job? George W. Bush promoted him into it.

 

You have a right to the answers. If they're not the answers YOU want to hear, then I'll quote a former Russian History
prof of mine at LSU: "Tuffski Shitski".

 

Wow, ace, what color is the sky in your world?

What a perfectly plausable explanation for any and all embarrassing episodes in Dubya's background.

i.e. He didn't actually lie about driving while stinking drunk and ramming a hedge in 1976; he was on a super top secret mission for daddy at the CIA and therefore unable to tell the truth due to concern over national security.

Golly gee willikers, leaks from the super top secret "Secret Agent Dubya File" are probably the source for the "Spy Kids" movies.

How many super duper secret missions do ya think daddy sent America's greatest jet jock on? He probably only sent him on the most important and dangerous of missions.

Heck, come to think of it, Dubya Probably WAS in Vietnam after all, or at least over the mean skys of Cambodia taking the war to Charlie where he lived.

Oh, by the way, are you really as astoundingly stupid as you make yourself out to sound, or are you just that clever a comedian?
