WASHINGTON - The White House has provided documentary evidence that President Bush (news - web sites) completed his National Guard service during the Vietnam War, but Democrats are still demanding proof he reported for duty as ordered in Alabama. snip


The records, some being released for the first time, didn't satisfy Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) Chairman Terry McAuliffe. He argued that the payroll and summary service records posed more questions than they answered.


"The fact remains that there is still no evidence that George W. Bush showed up for duty as ordered while in Alabama," McAuliffe said. snip

While Kerry, who earned three Purple Hearts, surrounds himself with fellow veterans on the campaign trail, the White House has not been able to produce fellow guardsmen who could attest to Bush's attendance at meetings and drills. "Obviously we would have made people available" if they had been found, McClellan said.
