If we were being "real," this whole silly story would have
died about four years back.


Why is that Kerry's statements to congress in 1971 are of
critical importance

Becuase his statement, based upon what was proven to be
horsecrap (i.e, the "Winter Soldier Investigation") is a
documented fact.

but Bush AWOL

Unsubstantiated (despite repeated efforts by many to prove it);
there is a fifference between a fact and an unsubstantiated
claim.


Actually, the refutations are unsubstantiated.

Thank goodness you are not responsible for justice in this nation;
I presume your approach is "guilty until proven innocent"?

Signed progress report from his CO and a denial of transfer request
from personel headquarters. Nothing offered in refutation of these
official documents. Find me a court in this nation where that's not a
closed case.

Any of them. The progress report from the CO you refer to is nullified
by his performance of ET, much of which is documented (amazingly
enough, giventhe intervening thirty year period). That transfer
request you keep trotting out is a big ol' red herring--meaningless.
He has never claimed to have received the transfer, and the reason he
instead went the ET route is because he was not approved for the
transfer. There is NOTHING there for him to be convicted *of*, by any
courts martial board.

I personally know of several national guardsmen who were convicted of
being AWOL

Where is the transcript of GW's military court proceding.
