Late breaking story on GWB's TANG AWOL STATUS
This story is breaking as we speak folks. Walter Robinson of the Boston Globe, Toby Rogers, and Tom Rhodes of the London Sunday Times will publish this story complete with the guys identity as he has decided to come foreward. I tried to warn him of the implications and the disaster he may face. I hope everyone is prepared to give him as much support as possible because without him this could spell disaster for this election. This will guarantee GWB loses next Tuesday if handled right by these professional journalists. I also have confidence in Joe Conason who promised to help look out for this new American hero willing to put himself on the line, at GREAT personal cost, I might add. This guy witnessed the criminal alteration of official government documents to coverup the criminal dessertion of GWB from the TANG.
Here's the story:
A well placed and reliable source with access to the information, has forwarded that information to be published. That information is as follows:
As an officer with Texas National Guard, I was on full-time duty at Camp Mabry when Dan Bartlett was cleansing the George W Bush file prior to GW's Presidential announcement. For most soldiers at Camp Mabry, this was a generally known event. The archives were closely scrutinized to make sure that the Bush autobiography plans and the record did not directly contradict each other. In essence it was the script of the autobiography which Dan Bartlett and his small team used to scrub a file to be released. This effort was further involved by General Daniel James and Chief of Staff William W. Goodwin at Camp Mabry.
I knew one person who worked within the records scrub who commented to me while at the smoke area that the Bush files really showed some problems with his "blue-blood service record".
If George W or anyone else can come forward to prove the case that George W. was not AWOL then that is great for them and for the Bush candidacy. I furnished Mr. Walter Robinson the name of a person in Dallas who was the campaign supervisor for young George W. Bush during the Alabama Senate campaign. That person told me without batting an eye that GW was partying, not working on the campaign and in fact, had bedded a beautiful young wife of an up-and-coming author whom he was renting a garage apartment from. She further said that George W. was neither sober nor dependable throughout the entire campaign.
She indicated that George W. was asked about his Guard requirements and when he was going to drill. He did not provide feedback of any kind.
Since GWB does not feel obligated to comment about life before 40, I doubt that the American people will get to hear his response.

The review of military personnel files is very basic. Within the review and audit of a file, however, certain critical documents become the spine upon which all else hangs.
Your question about whether Governor Bush completed his military obligation can easily be verified. In fact, I have been disturbed by the FOIA material published that the two critical elements to answer your questions were not included.
In answer to Senator Kerrey's comments, finding the answer to this issue is very simple. The Bush campaign staff can simply provide the pay records and detailed retirement points records for Lieutenant Bush. Until that is done, everything else is purely speculation as to when and where George W. Bush was during his obligation period. A unit technicians personal notes about duty performance is NOT official. Handwritten and scribbled notations are also NOT official. The pay records, however, simply specify without a doubt and officially, when Lt. Bush performed ordered duty and that the US Air Force paid him for it.
Mr. Dan Bartlett was responsible for assembling the military files for the media's review. He is also the point man to the questions on this issue. Why has Mr. Bartlett not compiled and shared these critical pieces of the Governor's military service record? Was it an omission of the Freedom of Information Act file or does it not exist? I am sure that the Pentagon would be happy to quickly access the Air Force Reserve personnel files in order to clarify this issue for the American public. It would be a disaster to withhold this basic information until after an election and then again hold the American Presidency hostage with lawsuits, investigations and inquiries for his term.
