Does Bush* and others want the AWOL story in the news purposely?
To keep the scrubbing of his driver's license out of the fray? I have participated on messages boards for a while now and when Bush* was running for president, it was rumored that he had his license changed a couple of years before he ran for governor of Texas. Is this something that the media won't dare touch?

2. Texas DL bit is tertiary or quaternary. AWOL is secondary.
USAF Flight Physical is primary. Focus people.

3. that story was broken...
...by onlinejournal.com in 1999. Here's part of it:

Now why would George Dubya require a Texas driver's license with an entirely new number? It was obtained on March 31, 1995, as was his wife's Laura Welch Bush's. His wife and daughters didn't need new numbers, nor did his famous parents -- former president and first lady, George H. and Barbara Pierce Bush -- who all would seem to be at as much risk security-wise. And by the way, doesn't Texas require renewal of a driver's license every four years on one's birthday? Did George Dubya have something in his past to hide to cause him to purge the old record and number? This seems especially confusing since his birthday is July 6, 1946, but he obtained his new number on March 31, 1995 as a renewal.

Due to this little anomaly, we thought perhaps we should check to see if this was a common practice for former governors of Texas, but no, they were not listed among the first four numbers previous to Dubya's. Now, in all fairness to Dubya we must ask why he would get a new number and not just assume it was to hide something in his past life. And why would he be given the nine-digit DL number 000000005? His wife's DL number is 005295107.

Is it at all possible it is innocent? Of course, but if Bill Clinton had done this we would all be hearing about some misdeed he was covering up.

4. Regarding the GWBush's...
From the article....

During our search for the truth about Dubya's past, we came across something very interesting indeed! Another George W. Bush, white male, blue eyes, brown hair, but born on Oct. 17, 1964!

Ironically, that guy works at the same company that I work for. He also had twin girls. Weird isn't it?

5. It does take the heat off the massive treason going on.
They also may have already forged the documents that are necessary and are waiting to spring the trap. I simply think too many calico cats are out of the bag now for the GOP, party of treason, to survive this.

6. They do not want this story in the news
This is a terrible issue for them. Even if they can somehow paper over the AWOL issue, it still looks bad. They still have to explain Bush*s failure to take his physical, his missing time, and his early release. And, it's not like those other scandals won't come out. Now it's even more likely the Texas DL story will get aired.

Worst of all it puts them on the defensive at a time they were counting on the Democrats to be tearing each other apart.
