TOMPAINE.com - FINALLY, THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSH'S MILITARY SERVICE RECORD

AWOL for at least 12 months during a time of war - Desertion?

The lastest short summary - evidence of coverup but which still shows 12 months AWOL.

More details on the coverup. The officer in charge was appointed by Bush to be Director of the Air National Guard of the United States.

How did this appointment do? As Director of the Air National Guard of the US, he was responsible for the direct control of all airspace over the Continental United States and was the first responsible Officer for managing the network which scrambles fighters in air hijacking or hostage situations. By Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) a certain number of jets are on tactical alert at all times. This means that aircraft are airborne within ten minutes of a scramble for interception. Did anyone notice that it took up to ninety minutes to scramble National Guard intercept aircraft in this hijacking situation?
