Bush said military records open.Just find them.

[slater71]

First off since when was his records open? And, just what in the hell does he mean when he says find them? I think he sticking it to the people saying you will never find them so go look. HA HA.

1. "Just find them...?"

Ummm, how about posting them up on the WH website for all to see
and come up with their own conclusion, eh? :mad:

[lebkuchen]

5. Until Bush can prove otherwise, my conclusion is, the files were scrubbed

That's why he's presenting the "find them, if you can" challenge.

2. My first thought when he said

"The files are open, you've just got to find them!" was, they must be filed in the circular filing cabinet.

But what most amazed me was this (I'm paraphrasing):



RUSSERT: You say you reported for duty in Alabama, but there are no records to show this.

BUSH: Well, the fact is, I did show up for duty, I mean, the way the military works is, there are always records, they always keep records.

Uh, hello? They apparently didn't have any record of you showing up, Dubya!

3. Smirks military records or lack of

I remember reading during the thief's run for the W H that he was AWOL in Georgia helping A friend running for Congress.Maybe more disinformation to confuse the masses aka rove politics.

4. Welcome to DU, madmom!

You're very close; in fact he was in Alabama working on a friend of Poppy's campaign.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

6. This sounds like a challenge to America

I say let's take him at face value. Let's encourage journalists', the media in general, the army, et al to OPEN THE RECORDS. If we find that they don't exist....that's another crime.

7. "Just find them" sounds a lot like "Bring 'em on."

You would think he learned his lesson last summer, eh?
