Pentagon: There are more chimp records not yet released
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 11:55 PM by John_H
"Officers responsible for implementing the Freedom of Information Act for the National Guard and the Pentagon declined to respond to queries from The Post last week on the completeness of the president's records, referring a reporter to the...White House press office"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6693-2004Sep8_2.html

Translation: "Look pal, I'm a career officer sworn to do my job--Of course there are more records but I'll be damned if I'm going to jeopardize my career to save some politician's ass. You go ask the white house to lie."

Unfuckingbelievable these people.

2. Right on...and it will not stop until election day.
I am going to love every minute of this, because win, lose or draw, at least THIS time, we are fighting back.

And I, for one, think we are gonna win.

3. What about the records of James Bath?
Wasn't he Bush's longtime friend and fellow Guardsman who also coincidentally got suspended from flying at about the same time for the same reason? (failure to appear for medical exam) His records might also prove interesting, in the event they shed more light on the reason why Bush got suspended and why he had to leave Texas. I have a feeling we're just barely scratching the surface here.

7. An excellent point !
They were both suspended at same time and both did not take (or pass) physical at same time...I think they may very well be in the same boat.

5. Well, I gotta tell ya
I thought perhaps they purposely kept those documents back, let us get all worked up, and then release records showing completed service. But it looks like that is not the case, thank goodness.
You know, it wasn't easy thinking like they do, but I'm OK now.

11. Remember.....the Chimp sat with Tim Russert
not three months ago and told Punkinhead that these records had ALREADY been released...

"In releasing Bush's flight records, White House spokesmen yesterday expressed frustration over what they depicted as the Pentagon's failure to produce a full and complete record of the president's military service.
"It's clear that DOD did not undertake as comprehensive a search as had been directed by the president," said White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan, just days after assuring The Post that Bush's full personnel file had already been released. "We have again asked that they ensure that any and all documents are identified and released." "

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6693-2004Sep8.html

Wonder if the folks who pissed and moaned so much about the relatively unimportant "I did not have sex with that woman" will say word one about a pResident LYING to the nation about a subject of actual importance?

12. What if it's exonerating information?
I wouldn't put it past these people. The Pentagon needs to release this stuff directly to the media to avoid the possibility of political manouvers.
