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.

"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."

10. Yeah, Friday nights are VERY productive with this administration

I swear, reporters should take Monday - Wednesday off, and concentrate their efforts on Thursday - Sunday.

3. "dirt and rat (excrement) and dead bugs"

Pretty much sums up this guy's military career....

4. Then why do they bother to keep records?

If the records amount to garbage that no one wants to touch after 30 years, why do they even bother?
The fact that the box is full of ick suggests that it wasn't included in previous records reviews.

7. Amazing, isn't it?

And of course none of these new dirt-encrusted records show that he ever peed in a cup in Alabama...as he was ordered to.

5. *lol* exactly my thought. And of course we now have the distraction of

Kerry "outing Cheney's daughter" so the media are not talking much about this, or about Chimpy's comments on OBL and his forgetfulness and his claims of "ex-agger-ashun" (god, he sounds like a retarded second-grader) or anything else of SUBSTANCE here...
the media are all wrong-wing whores.

[MrBenchley]

8. Exactly so...

But keep up the pressure....

12. They got all that kind of stuff at Kinko's(sp) I seen it there!

They didn't have that size rat poop in the Texas Air Guard back then did they? Not that Bush gives a rat's ass, because CNN will protect the AWOL's "Honor" whatever real proof the rest of the world comes up with!

6. If they were easier to find, somebody else would have destroyed them.

11. Excellent point! Thank goodness folks interested in the truth

are more willing to get their hands dirty (literally) than the dirty-handed RW "scrubbers."
