It was DOCUMENTED that Bush attended National Guard meetings as he has stated. END OF DISCUSSION. Any statements he was "AWOL" are SLANDER.....
Alabama commander regrets Bush comments
The ACCUSATION originates from Clinton Hack..Terry McCauliffe: Standard Clinton Tactis..attack the integrity of the opponent..
"The current controversy was ignited by comments from Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who charged Bush was absent without leave or AWOL from the Alabama Air National Guard during those 2 months in 1972.
The FACTS:
"When asked about Bush?s pay record, Turnipseed said the paymaster in Alabama would note Bush attended a meeting and send the information onto Texas on what he described as an "IBM 105" card where it would be recorded and sent onto payroll in Colorado.
Bush was accused by Democrats of skipping meetings because there was no written record of him attending those meetings in October and November in Alabama.
On Tuesday, the White House released payroll records that showed the president received credit for attending meetings in October and November 1972.
The records don't indicate where he attended those meetings but he was living in Alabama at the time." "Turnipseed has said all along there would be no mention of the president in the Alabama unit since Bush was paid out of Texas"
What part of this is to complex for the elite advanced Liberal mind to comprehend.
Move along......
