D.C. sniper John Allen Mohammed received honorable discharge!
Just listened to my favorite NPR show - Harry Shearer's "Le Show" where he mentioned sniper Mohammed received an honorable discharge in 1985. Mohammed was in the Louisiana National Guard. Get this: earlier Mohammed had been charged with striking an officer and going AWOL. Served time in the brig, but he received an honorable discharge in 1985.

Actually, I am a bit tired of bu$h*'s TANG story because I know it will not go anywhere; however, this Mohammed parallel casts a new light.

2. it doesn't cast any new light
Mohammed did his time for his AWOL. Which means it was possible for him to leave the military in good standing.
Bush was never charged with AWOL --a court martial offense. If he'd been court martialled which is what it takes to be officially legally AWOL, then many people would know about it, papers or no papers. He had to make up missed drills, which suggests that superior officers ---his unit commander and probably ANG forces commanders-- reached an understanding that Congressman Bush's son would make up his missed drills and receive at most Non-Judicial Punishment.

His honorable discharge means that the Guard was satisfied that he owed them no more time. That's all. It doesn't mean that he never got Article 15'ed or even court martialled.

5. My point would be
on MTP Bush announced he had received an honorable discharge and thereby there could not be anything questionable about his record. That flimsy argument does not stand compared to Mohammed's and others' "honorable discharges."

3. Getta send this to Crossfire
That's the only TV show I can think of that is confrontational enough to air it!

Maybe people will then realize that an HD isn't all it sounds like!

4. OMG!
The next time some republican lackey yell that Bush received an honorable discharge, the left should point out who else received one.

LOL!

6. All a big "dog and pony show" by Neo Cons
Some wonder about Tim McVeigh's motives. He said, he hated the government. There was ME involvement and the same clean up company for 9/11 cleaned up OK bombed building.

Read Gore Vidal's Vanity Fair article about Tim McVeigh. Tim McVeigh said, he did what he had to. Why...we'll never know. They were in a hurry to kill him so he wouldn't talk. He did not act alone or maybe didn't do it at all.

The OK bombing, Ruby Ridge, WACO all destroyed the growing unrest and armed groups in this country.

The dots all connect back to the same people who cover up and mislead us.
