Bush not AWOL - actually in the CIA?

[masshole]

Incredible claim by Jason Gay in this month's GQ magazine. Bush was secretly recruited into the CIA during his ANG years.

He also says in 1972 Bush went undercover as a roadie for the Rolling Stones to investigate the band's "un-American activities".

1. The Certainly Inebriated Agency?

[trotsky]

2. If so, the CIA would have done a much more masterful job

of concocting an alibi for *'s missing time. Complete with documented "evidence."

[Trajan]

3. LMFAO .....

George W. Clouseau ??? ...

Give me a break ....

[Francis]

4. I believe

he did spend some time after his ANG years working for an airline that was commonly thought to be a CIA operation

[jpgray]

5. This is too precious

"Bush never did report to the Alabama Air National Guard. He may not even know where its barracks were. That's because during the period in question, Bush was serving his country elsewhere, in a clandestine military unit: the Special Undercover Missions Service (SUMS), an elite air-force agency specializing in national security and acts of espionage."

Now I've heard everything. When did he do his training for this elite force? Since he was only missing for a few months, he went through the elite training and spent time in Vietnam and Cambodia as a member of an elite special forces unit all in that short amount of time? Give me a break--this guy can't even ride a Segway.

edit: LOL, and yes, I took this seriously for a moment. Now that I've read the entire artcile, I take it back. I have DU syndrome today.

6. It's a spoof

It's meant to be a funny way of accounting for Dumbass*'s missing year.

7. Well, then, obviously Dub didn't consider snorting coke with the Stones..

To be such an "un-American activity"!:D

I just wonder why Mick and Keith haven't come out with some good tales about hangin' with Dub!?:eyes:

B-)

[MichiganVote]

8. Well that explains how fucked up the CIA is

[wishlist]

9. That whole article is a whole tongue-in-cheek spoof

however there is a tiny grain of truth since there is some speculation that he may have been in Alaska and South America briefly facilitating some kind of underhanded deal involving CIA.

This particular article is a total spoof with faked pictures using a Bush look- alike. Just for making fun of him, but wait and see if RW freepers don't try to make him out to have been a James Bond-style hero when he was AWOL.

[htuttle]

10. Um....did you really take the article seriously?

I mean really. They give him credit for ending the Vietnam War in that article, too.

It's a Joke, son. Don't you get it?

11. AWOL Excuse "Plan B"...

"Plan A" has been for Daddy to pay for the 'Honorable Discharge' and to provide some backup of the Alabama story.

"Plan B" is for Daddy to provide the CIA excuse.

17. Plan C From Outer Space

Where Duhbya REALLY went in 1972...



Then again, he could've been delivering dope or killing people for Poppy...

The Secret History of George W Bush and the Alabama National Guard

"It was really quite amazing. Here was this young guy making acquisitions of tropical plants and then up and leaving to fly fighter planes."
 
February 25-- Venice, Florida.
by Daniel Hopsicker

A MadCowMorningNews investigation into the controversy currently swirling around President George W. Bush’s service in the National Guard has uncovered evidence indicating that Bush’s disputed “lost year” is not the only period of time during his abbreviated stint in the Guard that remains shrouded in mystery.

Conventional wisdom about Bush is that he spent the more poorly-documented stretches of his Guard service somewhere with his cowboy boots up on a desk, pulling the tab on another ‘tall cold one.’ The questions being asked are on the order of: Did daddy pull strings to get him a cozy billet? Did he actually show up for duty?

But conventional wisdom has a way of often being wrong. Evidence unearthed in our investigation indicates that George W. Bush, while supposedly serving in the Texas Guard in 1971, may instead have been detailed to the massive covert operation of the U.S. government going on at that very moment in Central America.

Did George W. Bush take part in Operation Condor?

18. LOL: Good one...

:thumbsup:

[blm]

12. The CIA wouldn't rely on an alcoholic like Bush. Also....

if he HAD been in the CIA they would have covered his absence from the National Guard a LOT better.

Sounds to me more like they intend to create a diversion that makes Bush sound more mythical.

13. This is satire

The part about the underpants and the Rolling Stones didn't tip you off???? :)

***Edited to add my favorite part:

"Bush took on the persona of Gerhard Braus, a sturdy, pipe-smoking German art dealer specializing in Expressionist painters. -- snip --

Warhol immediately took a shine to Braus, inviting him to nightspots like Max's Kansas City and the Diplomat. He met Factory upstarts like Lou Reed, Holly Woodlawn, and the filmmaker Paul Morrissey. (Bush actually appears, ever so briefly, as a libidinous heroin-addicted pizza-delivery guy in Warhol and Morrissey's film Heat, in a scene that was added at the last minute.)"


That is tooooooooooooo fucking hilarious.

14. awww you guys are too good

only about 6 replies before someone realized it was a joke :P

[Az_lefty]

15. I'm surprised Rove didn't float this

the freepers would have ate it up. Hay, could someone post this article in freepville???? They'll probably email to all their friends.

[dedhed]

19. That was already done...

I was browsing FreeperVille earlier today, and saw an "apology" post from some poor schmuck who thought the article was real, and posted a link to it. Apparently, the Regulars ate him for lunch!

Damn, now I can't find it again, or I'd post the link!

:P

:bounce:

16. yes, he had a very secret Cocaine Intake Assignment

he was assigned to test how cocaine mixed with other drugs and alcohol affect the ability of pilots to fly a jet :crazy:

[sui generis]

20. I'VE GOT AN IDEA!

Has anyone posted this on Free Republic yet as god's truth? That could be very funny.
