Hopefully this can put an end to all this nonsense and people will start focusing on more important issues.

You know, Bush could just sign one of these forms and all of his records would be released to the public. No need to have reporters scour over some of the records in a room (with no ability of photocopy) on a Friday before a 3-day weekend (funny, why was the document dump done now??)

Didn't Bush just tell Russert that all the records were released in 2000??
He did
Russert: But you authorize the release of everything to settle this?

President Bush: Yes, absolutely.

We did so in 2000, by the way.

I'm not so sure 'released' would be the right word. From what I understand, a pool of reporters were allowed to go thru them. Nothing is to be copied or xeroxed. Any idea why this might be the case?

His medical records were not released. Each reporter was given a packet of over 400 pages.(CNN)

I'm not sure what you're saying Dave. The reporters were given their copies? Along with being able to look at the originals?

I checked CNN.com, but found nothing about 400 page packets...and the kids watching his Aristocrats tape so I can't check the tube.

What the reporter on CNN said was that they got copies of all of his military records (~400 pgs.) except for the medical records. Those were on a table in some room in the White House. They were allowed to look at them, make notes, etc. but no copies.

He was there but who cares if he was or not 30 years ago, Some of the same people pushing this is the same ones that said what a man does before he is in the office is none of our business, I was awol 2 times in my younger days and still did my job and even got a few medals doing it, I am like a few 100000000 others and sick of hearing about it, Makes me wonder what they will come up with next

For the top job in the country, citizens want better from their leaders. Just ask the wacked out republican jerks who went on the Clinton witch hunt and came up with a hummer from a consenting intern who gets praised for her actions that nearly brough down the last leader.

So for one, I care. And it is a guarentee I will not vote in favor of anyone who is republican that tries to justify this supreme court appointed puppet in office now. And the democratic donkey will get my vote before shrub does.

By the way, I wonder who died in your place while you were AWOL? Where do you get off justifying sherking your duty?

You are so stupid, No body died when I was AWOL, It was when I was taking AIT, I had to come home for family problems , Yes some body could die in Ga. if I wasn't there, I did my duty and then some, What duty have you ever done, I know the answer to that

I've got to echo what TripleShot says. When I was in the Marine Corps being AWOL was a very serious no-no. If I wasn't out of my RACK within about 30 seconds of reveille all he** would break loose. I don't know much about the National Guard, but what Bush did does not sound like the military service I knew.

The only reason I think this is important is because I think Bush is hiding something he doesn't want anyone to find out about. Bush was just too wild and crazy as a youngster to have avoided trouble. He should have just fessed up long ago and most folks would have written it off as a youthful indiscretion. Unless it's really bad, in which case I'd love to have yet another reason to vote for Kerry The Suit.

Strange that you mention this Trip. I have often wondered the exact same thing about Bill Clinton who wasn't somply AWOL but totally avoided all service including National guard service.

By the way I caught a Blurb on the news this morning Quoting an Alabama Air guard officersaying he remembers GW showing up for his required service and states in his opinion he was an excellent officer. Didn't catch the guys name but if it is real then that would kinda put that question to bed.

Ok found it in an article at FoxNews as reported by an AP reporter
A retired Alabama Air National Guard (search) officer, however, said he remembers Bush being in Alabama in 1972, reading safety magazines and flight manuals in an office as he performed his weekend obligations.

"I saw him each drill period," retired Lt. Col. John "Bill" Calhoun (search) said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from Daytona Beach, Fla.

Calhoun is the first member of the 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group (search) to recall Bush distinctly at the Alabama base in the period of 1972-1973. He was the unit's flight safety officer.

Well I don't think he is, Not a combat vet anyway from the way he talks, Like I said I did my duty and more, I was with the 2-14 Golden Dragons in Nam in 1967, I took two rounds from a AK-47 and have been in a chair since I was 18 so I think I did my part,

The whole Bush records thing is just tired old news, it really is.

Its not gonna change anyones mind, just like dragging out Kerry's commie ties wont matter either.

I think each man can pretty much count on thier core support comming through.

What the election will show is just how polerized America is becoming......

I bet it would, But that is not why I am back, I want to say I have cooled off and I am sorry for what I said, I am not like that but it is hard to put up with a lot of people that are on this post some times, Triple if you are a vet God bless you but man you know being AWOL from training is not going to get someone killed and My AWOL was on a break from training, I think someone got a papper cut the three days I was gone and they knew why I had to leave,

I dunno. I think if there had been anything to prove GW was'nt there it would be all over the news by now.

Im waiting for the public apology from Keery and his ilk.
