Major General Daniel James was head of the Texas National Guard at the time of the alleged scrubbing of George W. Bush's National Guard records. He was appointed by George W. Bush to be commander of the nation's Air National Guard -- and was confirmed by the Senate last week.

I was outside the Adjutant general of Texas office when I overheard a call from Joe Allbaugh and Dan Bartlett that told General James to "make sure there is nothing embarrassing in the Governor's file" in preparation for his reelection run and a run for the presidency. I was present when James and Asst AG General Marty told a state services employee to do the same. I was there when the retained records person surrendered files under order of COL William Goodwin, Chief of Staff, for the scrub of the Governor's files. Even with all of these first hand accounts, no one dared to ask questions after they talked with Bartlett, Hughes, Rove or Allbaugh. Why?

James further shielded official public files from the press and otherwise ran interference for Bush, Hughes, Bartlett and Rove during the campaign --"obstructing" the judicial and public review of this record.

Last December 1, 2001, Bush nominated James to be the Director of the Air National Guard of the United States. As Director of the Air National Guard of the US, James will be responsible for the direct control of all airspace over the Continental United States and will be the first responsible Officer for managing the network which scrambles fighters in air hijacking or hostage situations.

1. We need for everyone to read this story

WE also need to nail Bush on it. Also, witnesses against Bush have a bad tendency to commit suicide.

4. I just sent an email to the texas national guard

for the hell of it.
The general james is the son of a very famous black general, Chappie James. I think he would not be so proud of his son for helping the fraud lie and send soldiers to die for lies, as long as he has his payoff.

I know it wont do anything other than make me appear to be an asshole, but I feel better hehe.

Daniel "Chappie" James, Jr was one of the famed "Tuskeegee Airmen" during WW2.

My son served all his years as a National Guardsman, and never missed his unit times. Ever. Said his ass would have been in the wringer.
My stepson on his way to Iraq..they both know about bU$h's awol records, and NOW I will send them even MORE information..
They share it with their friends and units.

11. James is the man who failed to defend America on 9/11

Bush's appointee couldn't even muster a pea shooter to defend Washington and the Pentagon, with over an hour after knowing for sure that there was a mass terrorist attack underway with hijacked planes.

So this is the payback James gets for covering Bush's ugly AWOL butt. And this is the payback America gets for letting BushCo steal the election, and then appoint hacks to key positions of national defense.

This will not stand.
