Martin Heldt. Nobody knows more about Bush AWOL than he.

Well, except for, you know.....

his own website, the beginning of which is achingly sad:

http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/

UPDATE: January 12, 2007

I had not touched this site for several years. It had fallen, like the nation, into a foggy state of disrepair.

But the times are changing. I’m actively working on repairing this site and hope to add fresh material by the end of January 2007.

Bush's records: Still AWOL

President Bush told Tim Russert all his military records were made public in 2000, but there's no evidence to support his statement.

By Eric Boehlert

Feb 10, 2004 | President Bush's insistence on Sunday that he released all his military documents during the 2000 campaign has only added to the controversy that surrounds his service in the Texas Air National Guard. In fact, there is no indication Bush has ever authorized that all his military records, including those considered personal under provisions of the Privacy Act, be made public.

In his appearance this Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Bush claimed "the records are kept in Colorado, as I understand, and they scoured the records." Asked if he would release "everything," such as his military pay stubs, tax returns, and perhaps even medical records, to prove he served as required between 1972 and 1973, Bush replied "absolutely." He added, "We did so in 2000, by the way."

But the facts suggest otherwise. "I was pretty shocked when I heard him say he released all his records in 2000," says Martin Heldt, whose article for TomPaine.com in 2000 was among the first on the issue and who maintains a Web site featuring Bush's key National Guard documents.

In Bush's own discharge papers, there is no evidence he reported for required weekend Guard duty training during the 12-month span between the spring of 1972 and 1973. During part of that time Bush was transferred from a Texas unit to one in Alabama so he could work on a political campaign for one of his father's friends. In the summer of 1972, Bush, a fully trained pilot, failed to take his required physical examination and was grounded. As the Boston Globe reported in May 2000, few if any of Bush's commanders remembered the son of a congressman reporting for duty between 1972 and 1973. Bush's papers also do not answer the question whether, after April 1972, he ever served the Guard again before being discharged in 1974.

1. I wonder what he's up to these days....I hope he's getting active again, but
nothing new at his site, as shown in OP

btw, he's been threatened numerous times over the years, to the point where's he's made it clear that he has a shotgun at close reach

4. Thanks much...
I was looking for this today. I lost everything I had saved - my computer died. I want to show it to someone to bolster what I had told him.

There was a lot of discussion here when this story was big, but for the life of me I can't find it using the search. Maybe I'll try google.

Anyway, I hope this time the story sees the light of day, and Dan Rather regains his credibility in the eyes of many.

A Big Kick and Recommend for you!
