The Bush Record

1. We now have Col. Burkett in major US media, backed up by notes and people he talked to at the time, saying he heard Bush's people discussing cleaning the files and saw them discarding some. The guys who call Burkett bogus were promoted by Bush despite incompetence. One was the General who cut down the number of planes on alert in the US from over 100 to less than 20 - who let a 15-minute hijack interception time go to over an hour on 9/11.

2. We have another sergeant on Mabry TX AFB who says he heard about and saw Bush records being destroyed.

Deleted my analysis based on the payroll records released being reasonably complete.

5. The Bush military biography obtained by a FOI request shows Dates of Service of 27 May 1968 to 21 November 1974. The past duty assignments and dates matches everything we know about his service except showing no Alabama. That is perhaps possible if he was kept on the Ellington roster. The only problem is the end date. When he was at Harvard he was also in the ORS for twelve months, not six. His military service lasted an addition six months from his original enlistment but the extra time was simply being subject to call up if needed.

6. One possible very light punishment for a serious goof-off in the national guard is to extend his service and make him available if needed for regular active duty. Possible goofoff's include disregarding orders, being AWOL, not completing required physical, or other conduct unbecoming an officer. Normal punishment is simply to place him in jail or on active duty.

There is some other good stuff on my site, scroll down, check the archives. There is a search but its a little incomplete, I have exceeded the 500 page free limit. I have a Newsreader feed to keep up with my last 10 headlines if you have a RSS newsfeed reader.
