Review Finds More Bush Military Records

1 hour, 8 minutes ago White House - AP


By MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Weeks after Texas National Guard officials signed an oath swearing they had turned over all of President Bush (news - web sites)'s military records, independent examiners found more than two dozen pages of previously unreleased documents about Bush.


The two retired Army lawyers went through Texas files under an agreement between the Texas Guard and The Associated Press, which sued to gain access to the files. The 31 pages of documents turned over to AP Thursday night include orders for high-altitude training in 1972, less than three months before Bush abruptly quit flying as a fighter pilot.


The discovery is the latest in a series of embarrassments for Pentagon (news - web sites) and Texas National Guard officials who have repeatedly said they found and released all of Bush's Vietnam-era military files, only to belatedly discover more records. Those discoveries — nearly 100 pages, including Bush's pay records and flight logs — have been the result of freedom of information lawsuits filed in federal and Texas courts by AP.


A Texas National Guard spokesman defended the continuing discoveries, saying Guard officials didn't find all of Bush's records because they are disorganized and in poor shape.


"These boxes are full of dirt and rat (excrement) and dead bugs. They have never been sitting in an uncontrolled climate," said Lt. Col. John Stanford. "It's a tough task to go through archives that were not set up in a way that you could easily go through them."

1. Jesus H. Christ how many times are they going to "release everything"?

*slaps forehead with palm of hand*

[karmick]

2. And they were found where...

Methinks where they were found....(in piles of rats & *&?&%&*)

will have much to do about what they'll stir up more of...

5. It's got kind of a "The Omen" ring to it, doesn't it?

3. This part is so telling

"These boxes are full of dirt and rat (excrement) and dead bugs."

That would make perfect sense. That's exactly what the bu$h brain is also full of.

Damn can't wait to see if anything else is hiding in there.

:evilgrin:

9. as if by magic these always show up on friday

[saracat]

6. Don't the Freepers always draw a distinction

about the fact that Shrub signed a release document on all his records and Kerry didn't? So what if you sign a release and then don't release them? Hmmmm? What is more ethical?

7. What does 'high altitude' mean - does it mean he was being ordered

to learn the aircraft that they were using in Vietnam as a step-up from his fancy training jet that wasn't being used in Vietnam and neither of which were being used in Alabama?

8. Another distraction

at a time when the media should be focused on bush's failed administration for the last four years and the disaster in Iraq. :mad:
