Bush AWOL Story - New theory comes to light

by James Ridgeway
A New Theory for Bush's Low, Low Profile in the Alabama Guard
March 24 - 30, 2004 Mondo Washington this week:

Here's a new twist to the George W. Bush AWOL mystery, in which almost
no one remembers him fulfilling his duties with the Alabama National
Guard. According to an investigation by the Spokane, Washington,
Spokesman-Review, Bush may have been involuntarily removed from being
a pilot due to little-known Human Reliability Regulations. These were
rules to screen out military personnel for mental, physical, and
emotional fitness before letting them handle nuclear weapons and
delivery systems. The regulations affected thousands of pilots and
were used to suspend two Washington State pilots on suspicion of drug
use, although in the end both men received honorable discharges.

The government's reaction to questions about the human reliability
regs merits attention. The White House gave no comment to a
Spokesman-Review reporter, referring questions to the Defense
Department. The National Guard Bureau, now run by a Bush pick from
Texas, said it was under orders not to discuss the story. The bureau's
chief historian also told the Spokane paper he was under orders not to
discuss the topic. The freedom of information officer at the bureau
said her people stopped taking requests on Bush's military service
last month and now refer all questions regarding it to the Pentagon.

Lemme see, first this is "little known Human Reliability Regulations"
and then "The regulations affected thousands of pilots..." Seems like
those thousands might jeopardize the little known aspect.

Then, can we consider that the period in question had the Alabama
Guard tranistioning from the F-84 to the RF-4C, a reconnaisance
platform which, although it had a nuclear capability--the wiring was
installed to the centerline and one wing station,--was never used by
the USAF or Guard in that capacity.

HRP (the Human Reliability Program) was common knowledge to all
personnel on active duty. Record of removal from HRP would be clear
and prominent in the medical records of anyone effected.

The government's reaction to questions about the human reliability
regs merits attention. The White House gave no comment to a
Spokesman-Review reporter, referring questions to the Defense
Department. The National Guard Bureau, now run by a Bush pick from
Texas, said it was under orders not to discuss the story.

Excuse me, "a Bush pick from Texas"? Would that be Lt. Gen. Daniel
James? The son of General Chappie James, Tuskegee airman and noted
wing-man of Robin Olds in the building of the 8th TFW "Wolf-Pack"?
Doesn't sound like some sort of "Bush pick" to cover an issue or repay
a political debt to me.

The bureau's
chief historian also told the Spokane paper he was under orders not to
discuss the topic. The freedom of information officer at the bureau

Duh, does it seem controversial that the "historian" wouldn't be
speaking to the press? It is standard procedure in all military
headquarters that only certain senior office holders have "release
authority" for official statements and documents. In any large
bureaucracy you can't have every individual speaking officially or
signing documents that establish policy. Nothing unusual there either.

Seems to me that as fewer and fewer Americans have any experience in
the service of their country's military that it becomes increasingly
possible to mislead, misrepresent and confuse issues with innuendo and
misinformation.

Right. I mean, after all, someone like George W. Bush could never get
someone in the government to do him any favors.

After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, somebody
confessed the following:

Bush may have been involuntarily removed from being
a pilot due to little-known Human Reliability Regulations. These were
rules to screen out military personnel for mental, physical, and
emotional fitness before letting them handle nuclear weapons and

Easy retort...if your unit doesn't have a mission requiring the use of
nuclear weapons, you don't play the HRP (later called PRP) game.
Fighter squadrons that were/are strictly conventional weapons units
don't bother with HRP...training units don't bother with HRP/PRP.

So...no nuclear mission in the TX ANG, no HRP in the TX ANG. This
really is a non-starter.

Don't mistake hallucinations offered up by Bush -n- Chainy, as reality.

His discharge papers were. A failed HRP would be right in there, and
next to impossible to erase.

Not at that level. Tampering with HRP documents is the sort of thing
that would get you some prison time.

According to the story out of Seattle, the two washington guardsmen did
not have any mention of failed HRP in their discharge papers - and they
both received honorable discharges just like George WMD Bush did.

Since it is not, it's hogwash.

Please. 20 years ago a bunch of criminals set up their own foreign
policy group outside the government and how much jail time did they do?

Why would an ANG unit, in the old Air Defense Command, have a SIOP comitment?

The Deuce had the capability to carry a nuclear tipped missile (AIM 27, I
believe), and if President Bush's Unit was tasked with this weapon, then the
President would have had to be on PRP. Personally, I believe that AIM 27s
had long since been withdrawn from service.
