"Review Finds More Bush Military Records"

WASHINGTON (AP) - Weeks after Texas National Guard officials signed an oath swearing they had turned over all of President Bush'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 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.

5. "Disorganized and in poor shape."
Sounds like a drunken coke-whore for a pilot: Crashes the plane every time.



Prick took millions to train, too. All he is: A little turd from Crawford.

9. What's really annoying is, no matter how many records are released...
...nobody seems to give a shit. The press, which should have been all over this 4 years ago, is so traumatized by "Rathergate," that they would not touch this story if video of Bush deliberately crashing a plane in 1971 so as to get out of the TXANG early were mailed to them. And the public clearly doesn't care that we have a draft-dodging deserter pretending to be Commander-in-Chief.

The fact is, we have long had more than enough information to conclude that George W. Bush is a spoiled brat son of a powerful man who has used that family influence his entire life to skate by and enjoy unearned privileges. Any more of his military records being "found" and released will not make that story any worse than it already is, and if people aren't already disgusted by his perfidy, they aren't going to change their minds no matter how many more records might come to light. The idea that George W. Bush is a "strong leader" has, disastrously, sunk in so strongly that it cannot be overturned.

At this point, searching for more records is almost a distraction because, unfortunately, it is not going to matter a bit. It confirms for us what we have always known, but nobody else cares.
