Some of W's Nat'l Guard records 'accidentally destroyed'

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Military payroll records that could more fully document President Bush’s whereabouts during his service in the Texas Air National Guard were inadvertently destroyed, according to the Pentagon.

In a letter responding to a federal lawsuit by The Associated Press, the Defense Department said that microfilm containing the pertinent National Guard payroll records was damaged and could not be salvaged. The damaged material included payroll records for the first quarter of 1969 and the third quarter of 1972.

“President Bush’s payroll records for those two quarters were among the records destroyed,” wrote C.Y. Talbott, of the Pentagon’s Freedom of Information and Security Review section. “Searches for back-up paper copies of the missing records were unsuccessful.”

1. You Expected Something Different?

No surprise

[slipperduke]

2. I have it on good authority.....

....that they were destroyed because they showed that your glorious leader only turned up at the base to take advantage of the free dental care. The rest of the time he was drunk.

Don't forget to vote, eh?

[NightOwwl]

3. NYTimes

published this yesterday. Have yet to see any follow-up on the "liberal" news channels.

[Cat Atomic]

4. Another coincidence!

This man certainly is coincidence-prone!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

5. How much does anyone want to bet that the CIA obtained a copy...

...of FratBoy's payroll records quite some time ago?

[FreakinDJ]

6. What a crock of shit

You would think the public at large could see through this.

But No. Hateful Freeper types will keep spewing "what a brave courageous leader" because they hate those "brown skinned people who can't govern themselves".

Bush has completely turned the majority of the world against us and polarized this country like never before

[Killarney]

7. As CNN, MSNBC, and FAUX ignore it...

this is so obvious.

[skooooo]

17. CNN was covering it...

..not ignoring it.

[GOPisEvil]

8. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

...who's the Army's Records Manager, Fawn Hall?

[JHB]

9. It'd be interesting to see...

...if you could determine what non-Bush-related information would be on the same microfilm, and make a request for that.

And REALLY interesting if received that information.

[livetohike]

10. Time for another terror alert.

This news breaks on a Friday (big surprise). Now who will make a big deal out of this?

Are "we" so complacent that it doesn't matter that this slimy administration manipulates everything and no one cares?

[tom_paine]

11. These Totalitarian Fucks have no shame, no fear of the law

They do it with contempt, right before our eyes, knowing WE know, but also knowing if they can deny a platform for discussion to most people they can do so and get away with it EASILY.

My God in heaven, can we stop these Nazi Monsters?

When they have finished copnsolidating their Unchecked Power and come after us, will anyone care because the roundups won't be on CNN?

The answers, which I think we may well be about to discover, may not be what we hope for.

[young_at_heart]

12. Where is the outrage?

Come on media............DO SOMETHING!!!

[wndycty]

13. We have terror warnings and a vulgar Whoopi Goldberg. . .

:kick:

14. When was he AWOL?

"In a letter responding to a federal lawsuit by The Associated Press, the Defense Department said that microfilm containing the pertinent National Guard payroll records was damaged and could not be salvaged. The damaged material included payroll records for the first quarter of 1969 and the third quarter of 1972"


Was he AWOL during one of these periods of time? I can't remember the dates.

[Kazak]

15. That's just wrong!

I hope some crafty journalist is able to dig up the court records from his cocaine arrest. You know that's what's being covered for.

Edit: wording

[skooooo]

18. COCAINE..ALL AROUND MY BRAIN..

Georgie's theme song during the 70s and 80s.

[graham67]

19. Didn't Helen Thomas ask...

During the gaggle, didn't Helen ask specifically if he was absent from his guard assignment because he was doing court ordered public service as restitution? I'm betting it's either this or he was in drug rehab.

[ihaveaquestion]

16. What about his Social Security records?

They've got to be still around, don't they?

[graham67]

20. You'd think, huh?

I wonder if the TANG has to send quarterly reports to the IRS & SSA like other employers.

[ihaveaquestion]

22. They took social security taxes out of my military pay.

They do it for everyone. They have to.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. these evil fuckers are so confident that next cheney will shoot a senator

on the floor of the senate and cuss while doing it and the repukes will just go about their pitifully poor ignorant lives and support this evil regime!

if i had the means i would leave my country :cry:

[spanone]

23. How convenient!
