Does anyone know why the AWOLBush.com website is down?

[Lasher]

I've tried to access the site a couple of times in the last 3 days, without success. Here is a cached page from that site:

http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:WRsekFUhmgIJ:www.awolbush.com/whoserved.html+who+served&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

There's a lot of good information at the site, and it looks like it's all been cached by Google. I don't know how long cached information is saved, but if the site is not going to come back up the scoop should probably be saved somewhere. Ya think?

2. Look at who did not serve--No surprises here.....

Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert - avoided the draft, did not serve.

Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey - avoided the draft, did not serve.

Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay - avoided the draft, did not serve (1). "So many minority youths had volunteered ... that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like himself."

House Majority Whip Roy Blunt - did not serve

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist - did not serve. (An impressive medical resume, but not such a friend to cats in Boston.)

Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, R-KY - did not serve (1)

Rick Santorum, R-PA, third ranking Republican in the Senate - did not serve. (1)

George Felix Allen, Republican Senator from Virginia - a supporter of Nixon and the Vietnam war, did not serve. (1)

Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott - avoided the draft, did not serve.

Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld - served in the U.S. Navy (1954-57) as an aviator and flight instructor. (1) Served as President Reagan's Special Envoy to the Middle East and met with Saddam Hussein twice in 1983 and 1984.

GW Bush - decided that a six-year Nat'l Guard commitment really means four years. Still says that he's "been to war." Huh?

VP Cheney - several deferments (1, 2), the last by marriage (in his own words, "had other priorities than military service") (1)

Former Att'y Gen. John Ashcroft - did not serve (1, 2); received seven deferment to teach business ed at SW Missouri State

Jeb Bush, Florida Governor - did not serve. (1)

Karl Rove - avoided the draft, did not serve (1), too busy being a Republican.

5. Thanks, Black Cat. The links work and everything!

I guess search engines like Google won't find the archived information at this site, right? Wonder how long scoop is retained there?
