Folks - it has been confirmed - but not in the media - that Bush's records (pay stubs and points and flight status review and penalty assignment for being AWOL at end of his contract) are on microfilm/fische in Denver - so why can we not get prints by tomorrow?

On Meet the Press yesterday, President Bush claimed he has already released all records of his whereabouts during the Vietnam War. However, this does not appear to be the case. Bush is being scrutinized for his failure to provide evidence of his service during a year when he should have been in the National Guard. Yesterday, Bush specifically claimed that "we did
in 2000" to prove his case. But as the Washington Post reported, "no such information has been released."
Bush reiterated claims that he reported for duty, but "records have never been produced to document that Bush was there." Furthermore, during the 2000 election, Bush's campaign spokesman "acknowledged that he knows of no witnesses who can attest to Bush's attendance" between late 1972 and September 1973.
When questions were asked in 2000 about the issue, "Bush refused to be interviewed on the topic." That same year, Senators Bob Kerrey (D-NE) and Daniel Inouye (D-HI) - both distinguished war heroes - "called on Bush to release his full military record to resolve doubts" about his record, but they were rebuffed.
Almost three years later, those same calls continue to go unheeded. As reported by the Washington Post, Bush last week "did not release new information to clear up questions about a one-year gap in the public record of Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War."
Today the Post reports that payroll records and Bush's annual "point summary" from the time should definitively prove whether Bush did show up for duty, but "neither has been released so far" by Bush. Additionally, a 2000 FOIA request for Bush's military records withheld certain documents.

While Bush falsely claimed to have released all records and now says he will cooperate with inquiries, he has simultaneously dispatched aides to attack those demanding answers. Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot said "To suggest...that the military should 'answer questions' about President Bush's honorable discharge is an outrage."
