Bush minions destroyed records - TANG colonel

[placton]

This from Dallas Newspaper:

“Retired National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett said Tuesday that in 1997, then-Gov. Bush's chief of staff, Joe Allbaugh, told the National Guard chief to get the Bush file and make certain "there's not anything there that will embarrass the governor."
Col. Burkett said that a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, he saw Mr. Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can. He said he recognized the documents as retirement point summaries and pay forms.”

2. "Bush's file and documents discarded in a trash can."

Burkett said that a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, he saw Bush's file and documents discarded in a trash can. He said the documents were retirement point summaries and pay forms.

3. Now, why would they throw this stuff away?

Doubtful they were hiding evidence that Bush DID serve.

8. Wouldn't there be a record of those two visiting the base??

Were they residents of Texas, or were they "scrubbers" brought in to "help" junior??

Did they also visit Colorado & St Louis?? is there any way to track their movements?? It's a long time ago..

I sure wish that guy had fished those records out of the trash.. Wonder why he didn't ... or why he did not file an official complaint against the superiors who allowed it..

5. I heard yesterday on t.v. that there are four

copies of everything in the military
and only one goes to the discharged
person.

I wonder where would the other copies be?
Could they destroy all of them?

7. Explains why Bush was so anxious to allow the records to be released.

He already knew they were tampered with. Doesn't matter because it still is raising more questions than answers.

12. hee, hee. Didn't he say something about them being "scoured" as

in cleaned?

9. Question? What does the word eschaton mean? And what is the site?

I do not seem to know the word or the site but do see it around. I would think Bush's papers would be gone. Just as his father never knew what was going when he was Vice under Reagan.

13. I remember reading this before the sElection

not that anyone was listening to those of us trying to bring it up then. Total whitewash - SOP for a bigwig's kid. One law for the rich, another law for everyone else.
