Bush AWOL Story - New theory comes to light

OK...busted, I should have posted he had "permission" since apparently
some of his points were acquired in AL. I mean he does have some
points for Oct and Nov 1972, and Rufus G Martin, Maj TX ANG signed off
his points.

He received "permission" after the fact.

The document is posted at www.awolbush.com, it's dated after he was told
to reappear in Texas.

His request was denied.

But somehow he was able to get credit for drill periods in Oct and Nov
72 while in AL.

See above.

He left TX anyway.

True, but don't make it sound like he had to stay within the borders
of TX. That statement sounds like he was fighting extradition to flee
prosecution for some drug bust...[some will find the irony and or
humor in this...or not]

Not my intention.

Please re-read this paragragh I wrote...

The most likely scenario was that GWB put in a little (we're talking
VERY little) "VFR face time," but literally didn't do anything but
walk around unsupervised, drink coffee, have mock dog-fights with his
right hand shooting the watch on his left wrist while telling, "There
I was..." stories.

This particular angle on the AWOL business makes the most sense to me.

It follows the "too stupid to be..." theme that Dubya has lived by.

Can't you just picture a definitive biography of GWB, with the chapters titled
as following?


Too stupid to be a preppy

Too stupid to be an Eli

Too stupid to be an ANG pilot

Too stupid to be an oil company exec

Too stupid to be a ...

....

...

...

...

Too stupid to be president.

But, somehow, this "stupid" man is running a massive, deeply complicated
conspiracy to take over the world, according to the same folks.

On the other hand, the "smart" people like Clinton and Gore spent eight
years *not* doing anything about the terror problem, yet the "dumb" Bush
is supposed to have fixed it in eight months...

no, there is no massive, deeply complicated conspiracy - but what there
is is not being coordinated by Bush. Karl Rove calls the shots.

you call strategic bombing, doubling the overall counterterrorism
budget, and tripling the counterterrorism budget specifically for the
FBI not doing anything? how about coming up with the original plan for
a Department of Homeland Security, which Bush scoffed at until 9/11?
how about capturing, trying, and convicting those responsible for the
original WTC attack in '93, even though Clinton had only been in office
for *38 days* when it happened?

there was no "fixing" the terror problem. but had he listened to those
in the know, 9/11 may not have happened. and after it DID happen, we
spent about 3 minutes in Afghanistan, where we knew some of the culprits
to be, and moved on to Iraq, which had exactly zip to do with the
attack. our fearless leader at one point called Osama a "non-priority,"
a quote that he'll never be able to run from.

in other news, Bush has called Kerry a liar on public television. also,
Don King said Kerry had funny hair, and Jay Leno said Kerry had a big

Blowing up empty training camps and an aspirin factory... with pretty

doubling the overall counterterrorism budget,

and tripling the counterterrorism budget specifically for the

How about it? A "plan" that was never implemented is just a piece of
paper. Much like the rest of the Clinton "efforts."

how about capturing, trying, and convicting those responsible for the
original WTC attack in '93, even though Clinton had only been in office
for *38 days* when it happened?

Since the FBI did that, with the help of an idiot terrorist who went and
tried to get his deposit back from the rental truck company...

....and then did *nothing* else. They didn't catch the people who
financed it, and let one of the plotters get away. To Iraq, of course
(whatever happened to "Iraq has no ties to al-Qaeda?").

there was no "fixing" the terror problem.

Not the way the Clinton/Clarke folks went about it.

but had he listened to those in the know, 9/11 may not have happened.
and after it DID happen, we spent about 3 minutes in Afghanistan,
where we knew some of the culprits to be,

Hey - isn't that the place Clinton fired a bunch of cruise missiles at,
and didn't accomplish anything? The place where we had at least two
different chances to kill Osama bin Laden, but Clinton and Clarke
decided not to?

The place where we went in and removed the Taliban, which was directly
supporting al-Qaeda, *after* Clinton left office? The place we've been
in for a couple of years now (not "three minutes")?

and moved on to Iraq, which had exactly zip to do with the
attack.

Other than sheltering al-Qaeda terrorists who took part in the *first*
WTC attack. And other nice folks, too (like Abbas, who died in custody
recently after being captured in Iraq, where he'd been living i comfort
for years).

our fearless leader at one point called Osama a "non-priority,"
a quote that he'll never be able to run from.

Funny... I can't find that quote. Maybe you're confusing Bush with
Clinton again?

I guess you forgot about the VX traces the CIA found at the site.

So you admit Clinton did something about domestic terrorism.

That's big of you to admit.

and tripling the counterterrorism budget specifically for the
FBI not doing anything?

Wrong.

Clinton specifically talked about al-Qaeda.

how about coming up with the original plan for
a Department of Homeland Security, which Bush scoffed at until 9/11?

How about it? A "plan" that was never implemented is just a piece of
paper. Much like the rest of the Clinton "efforts."

A plan which was up to the REPUBLICAN controlled Congress to act on.

They didn't.

how about capturing, trying, and convicting those responsible for the
original WTC attack in '93, even though Clinton had only been in office
for *38 days* when it happened?

Since the FBI did that, with the help of an idiot terrorist who went and
tried to get his deposit back from the rental truck company...

So Clinton doesn't get credit for capturing the 1993 WTC bombers, but
Bush gets credit for capturing the 2000 USS Cole bombers?

You rightards are way beyond hope.

...and then did *nothing* else. They didn't catch the people who
financed it, and let one of the plotters get away. To Iraq, of course
(whatever happened to "Iraq has no ties to al-Qaeda?").

I suppose you have a cite for this, right?

Didn't think so.

there was no "fixing" the terror problem.

Not the way the Clinton/Clarke folks went about it.

Then why did Rumsfeld and Cheney praise Clinton for his actions?

Answer that, dumbass.

but had he listened to those in the know, 9/11 may not have happened.
and after it DID happen, we spent about 3 minutes in Afghanistan,
where we knew some of the culprits to be,

Hey - isn't that the place Clinton fired a bunch of cruise missiles at,
and didn't accomplish anything?

Really?

According to intelligence services worldwide, Clinton prevented the
planning of terrorist attacks with his strikes.

The place where we had at least two
different chances to kill Osama bin Laden, but Clinton and Clarke
decided not to?

For logical reasons.

Like not wanting to kill innocent civilians, and not trusting the
intelligence from foreign sources.

The place where we went in and removed the Taliban, which was directly
supporting al-Qaeda, *after* Clinton left office? The place we've been
in for a couple of years now (not "three minutes")?

You mean where the Taliban are back in business, and getting stronger
through the sale of opium?

The Taliban own Afghanistan, except in Kabal.

and moved on to Iraq, which had exactly zip to do with the
attack.

Other than sheltering al-Qaeda terrorists who took part in the *first*
WTC attack.

Lie.

And other nice folks, too (like Abbas, who died in custody
recently after being captured in Iraq, where he'd been living i comfort
for years).

US intelligence believe Saddam didn't know about him being in the
country.

Bush's intelligence.

our fearless leader at one point called Osama a "non-priority,"
a quote that he'll never be able to run from.

Funny... I can't find that quote. Maybe you're confusing Bush with
Clinton again?

Naturally you can't find the quote, you're a dumbass.

And a lying dumbass at that.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our
number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
-- 2001-09-13 GW Bush

"I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care.
It's not that important. It's not our priority."
-- 2002-03-13 GW Bush

: On the other hand, the "smart" people like Clinton and Gore spent

you call strategic bombing

Uhh...can you name the "strategic" target Clinton ordered struck?

how about capturing, trying, and convicting those responsible for the
original WTC attack in '93

Crediting Clinton for that is like crediting Bush for the capture of Eric
Rudolph.

Been there, done that...got the PDFs. Please don't mistake my posts as
defending the current occupant of the oval office. I'm not.

True, but don't make it sound like he had to stay within the borders

Not my intention.

Dang...and I was hoping you'd see the humor WRT fleeing a drug bust.

I don't, I'm just hoping to fill in some blanks.

I caught it, but didn't comment on it. Got a chuckle out of it though.

He could have also been running from a DUI arrest.
