all these threads about Kerry in VN, all the TV talk: what about AWOL?

[buycitgo]

why is this barely being noticed, both here and on the tube?

I know there are some good threads on that here....thanks to rawstory, mainly, BUT

where are the DEM surrogates on this?

why, in the TV stuff I've seen to they always let the pugs force them on the defensive, instead of doing what the pugs do, and FILIBUSTER about Bush's lack of service, and possible fraudulent activities regarding his TANG records

I'm SO sick of being on the defensive ALL the TIME!

2. there's another good one with lots of rawstory participation, AND

Paul Lukasiak, who's done most of the basic research

he knows the ins and outs of all the paperwork, military jargon, legal aspects, too

he knocks down some superficially challenging arguments defending the cowardly liar, as well

I can't find it, though

anybody have that one?

going to check again

it's very good

3. well???

where's that other thread?

it's really good

this swiftboat story is still spreading....CNN is lovingly presenting it this morning

and I know about the other thing

no money right now, so no star, no search

5. DAMN! they gutted some of the most important posts

cause Paul Lukasiak, the REAL expert, was PISSED at the disinfo being spread, and made it clear in VERY harsh language

is there any way to recover the substance of such posts, minus the (deserved) invective?

this is important

here's one excellent, very enlightening post by PL:

Bush was allowed to quit the Texas Air National Guard, but remained obligated to train. He was supposed to find another unit before he was discharged; because he had not done so, he had sixty days to find another unit in which to serve.

Re: the Transfer to Alabama...in fact he probably didn't need one. The really interesting thing about that "transfer request" was that it was a total scam. Bush tried (with the cooperation of TXANG officials) to make an end run around the regs, and transfer into a unit which would ELIMINATE any training obligations he had. Basically, he was trying to scam his way into a "legal" form of desertion.

Finally, Bush was never transferred to Alabama. NEVER. In order for a transfer to from a State Air National Guard unit to any kind of unit in another state to take effect, the ANG member has to be discharged from the State ANG. That never happened. The transfer never happened. Bush remained obligated to train with TXANG the entire time he was in Alabama.
