![]() More on Bush in the Air Guard http://www.glcq.com/bush_at_arpc1.htm SUMMARY An examination of the Bush military files within the context of US Statutory Law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures of that era lead to a single conclusion: George W. Bush was considered a deserter by the United States Air Force. After Bush quit TXANG, he still had nine months of his six-year military commitment left to serve. As a result, Bush became a member of the Air Force Reserves and was transferred to the authority of the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) in Denver, Colorado. Because this was supposed to be a temporary assignment, ARPC had to review Bush’s records to determine where he should ultimately be assigned. That examination would have led to three conclusions: That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate” as defined by United States law and Air Force policy, that TXANG could not account for Bush’s actions for an entire year, and that Bush’s medical records were not up to date. Regardless of what actions ARPC contemplated when reviewing Bush’s records, all options required that Bush be certified as physically fit to serve, or as unfit to serve. ARPC thus had to order Bush to get a physical examination, for which Bush did not show up. ARPC then designated Bush as AWOL and a “non-locatee” (i.e. a deserter) who had failed to satisfactorily participate in TXANG, and certified him for immediate induction through his local draft board. Once the Houston draft board got wind of the situation, strings were pulled; and documents were generated which directly contradict Air Force policy, and which were inconsistent with the rest of the records released by the White House.

I can sum it up in one rhetorical question. But first, a little preamble. If a person is a deserter, there is no statute of limitations on that crime. So, the question is, if Bush was a deserter, why has he not been charged, arrested and tried? Or, better yet, if you believe all this crap, why don't you file charges on him and have him removed from office? I think they know his location. In reality, you guys are a joke.

There ought to be a document somewhere that specifically addresses the particulars of the case in question and states your conclusion in black and white. What? You can't?

Or, better yet, if you believe all this crap, why don't
you file charges on him and have him removed from office? I think they know his location. Because the phrase "equal justice under law" has been a joke in Texas for a long time --at least as far as the Bushes go -- and increasingly, for all of us. If there were no other reason to get rid of Bush there is one overwhelmingly compelling reason. He has detained an American citizen, arrested in the United States, for over two years in direct defiance of the civil liberty provisions of the Bill of Rights. If this person were most the vile terrorist ever (and the government seems to have no case -- that's why they don't bring charges), give the guy a trial and sentence him to death. The Bush administration hasn't done that. I saw suggested on another forum that this recent proposal to postpone or cancel the 11/2/04 election was a trial balloon to see how people and the media handled it. Now the Bushies are backing off this proposal because the response was pretty strong. I think the arrest and detention of Jose Padilla was a trial balloon too. It really (the lengthy detention) serves no other purpose. But most people are going, at least by their actions, "la-dee-da, who cares about the Bill of Rights." In this they are complacently ignorant. A real disgrace in this country is that Bush could even have competetive poll numbers. It's like the blood and suffering of the Revolution means nothing, that the struggle to move human rights forward -- it's like none of that happened. Read your Declaration of Independence: "He has combined....for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by Jury:" If there is only ONE case of deprivation of a jury trial where the courts can operate, that is way too many. Bush has done that. His aiders and abettors, the United States Supreme Court, disallowed the Habeas Corpus petetiton Padilla's lawyer filled because he filed it in New York, not where Padilla is now being held, in South Carolina. You Republican party kool-aid drinkers need to wake up and realize that Bush is the worst president ever. The United States of America is under attack -- by the Bush Administration. This thing about Bush's guard service, the economy, even the general conduct of the war, overrun as it is by dereliction of duty (both General Anthony Zinni and David Hackworth have used that word) by the Bush people really are not as important as the trial balloon of suspension of the Bill of Rights that people don't give a flip about. As an aside, even as the occupaton of Iraq has been a disastrous failure, causing the death of many more US service people than it should have, note that after almost 3 years, the Bush Justice Department has secured not ONE conviction in the War on Terror -- even against Mousaoui (sp) who was caught taking simulator lessons for jumbo jets. Bush is a miserable failure no matter how deeply you plough your head into the sand. Walt |

Bush is a miserable failure no matter how deeply you plough your head into
the sand. Walt Walt, I have to have to be the one to tell you but your rants here are doing nothing to convince anyone to change their politcal affiliations. All they are doing is to convince Bush supporters and the undecided that many of Kerry's supporters are Bush hating drones and that there is no real political agenda for them other than to get revenge for the perception that Bush stole the election. why don't you let it go or take it elsewhere to a more receptive audience. Emaimls here are running 10:1 against you and that ratio is not increasing mainly because everyone is putting you in their kill file, including me after I hit send.. |

Actually I think the wacky postings are great because they demonstrate the poor reasoning and disregard for the facts so common among the followers of the left.

Actually I think the wacky postings are great because they demonstrate the
poor reasoning and disregard for the facts so common among the followers of the left. General Zinni is not on the left: "In the book, Zinni writes: "In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption." “I think there was dereliction in insufficient forces being put on the ground and fully understanding the military dimensions of the plan. I think there was dereliction in lack of planning,” says Zinni. “The president is owed the finest strategic thinking. He is owed the finest operational planning. He is owed the finest tactical execution on the ground. … He got the latter. He didn’t get the first two.” Zinni says Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time - with the wrong strategy. And he was saying it before the U.S. invasion. In the months leading up to the war, while still Middle East envoy, Zinni carried the message to Congress: “This is, in my view, the worst time to take this on. And I don’t feel it needs to be done now.” But he wasn’t the only former military leader with doubts about the invasion of Iraq. Former General and National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, former Centcom Commander Norman Schwarzkopf, former NATO Commander Wesley Clark, and former Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki all voiced their reservations. Zinni believes this was a war the generals didn’t want – but it was a war the civilians wanted. “I can't speak for all generals, certainly. But I know we felt that this situation was contained. Saddam was effectively contained. The no-fly, no-drive zones. The sanctions that were imposed on him,” says Zinni." General Hoar is not on the left: Gen. Joseph P. Hoar (USMC-ret.), a four-star general, was Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command (1991-94), commanding the U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf after the 1991 war. He also served in the Vietnam War, as a battalion and brigade advisor with the Vietnamese Marines. He was interviewed by Jeffrey Steinberg on May 6, 2004. EIR: You were one of the people who had been critical before the outbreak of fighting, over whether or not the situation warranted going to war. I believe you also had some rather accurate warnings about what might happen, as the war unfolded, especially after the hot phase. What's your thinking on these issues now, in hindsight, as we're over a year past the formal fighting phase? Hoar: There's small comfort in realizing that perhaps you were closer to reality than the elected and appointed figures in the civilian government. Those of us that have had some experience in the region over the years, and don't necessarily have ulterior motivations, particularly people that know very much about Iraq?and I don't necessarily put myself in that category; specifically, I know a fair amount about the political-military situation in the region, but know enough about Iraq to know that any military operation and any subsequent reconstruction efforts, to include the interjection of democracy, were going to be extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible. But, my major concern, Jeff, really was, that while I was in favor of regime change, I was not in favor of it a year and a half or two years ago, and certainly not these means. And the reason, of course, was the much higher priorities: the protection of the United States through the development of the Homeland Securities activities; the completion, successfully, of the Afghanistan campaign; and the destruction of al-Qaeda; all seem to me to be much higher priorities than going after Iraq. And you know the arguments as well as I do: the weapons of mass destruction, the threat to the United States, the connection between al-Qaeda, and then finally, the reason was indicated that this was a rogue regime, that punished its citizens, and its human rights record was abysmal and so forth. We all know that story. The fact remains, that this would have been a very difficult undertaking under the best of circumstances, and unfortunately, with the exception of the Phase I military operation, which terminated essentially with the end of organized resistance over a year ago, the rest of it has been a disaster. EIR: I was at an event, where both Gen. [Anthony] Zinni [USMC-ret.] and Chas Freeman, former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, spoke, and this was about eight months before the outbreak of fighting, in March 2003, and they both basically thought that the real troubles would begin after the "hot phase" of combat, when American forces would be there as an occupying force. And they rejected the neo-con and Cheney thesis, that this would be a cakewalk and we'd be greeted as liberators." Bush is a miserable failure. Walt |
