FRAUD
The Secrets of Bush's Payroll Records Revealed
SUMMARY
On February 10, 2004, the White House released George W Bush's quarterly
payroll summaries for his last year in the Texas Air National Guard,
claiming that they proved that Bush had "fulfilled his duties" as a member
of the US Armed Forces. However, An examination of these records within the
context of laws and policies of that time reveals that at least half (and as
much as two thirds) of the pay and "points" credited toward Bush's mandatory
monthly training were fraudulent. When one deducts these fraudulent points
from Bush's records, Bush does not achieve the minimum number of points
under the White House's own (erroneous) criteria.
It is likely that the White House is unaware of what the payroll records
reveal, because the most damning information is buried in lines of
"incomprehensible" data found at the bottom of the payroll reports. This
article breaks that code, and shows that Bush repeatedly claimed credit and
pay for performing "substitute training" for mandatory monthly drills with
his unit that was well outside the time limits set for "substitute
training." And although he was required to get advance authorization for
all training, the public record shows that Bush could not have received the
necessary authorizations for "training" performed in Alabama .

In May 1972, Bush moved to Alabama to work on a political campaign and, he
has said, to perform his Guard service there for a year. But other Guard
officers have said they have no recollection of ever seeing him there.
The documents released on Friday by the Pentagon included two faded
computerized payroll sheets showing Bush was not paid during the latter part
of 1972 and offer no evidence to place Bush in Alabama during the latter
part of 1972.

'w' sez: "I continued flying with my unit for the next several years"
And Bush himself, in his 1999 autobiography, "A Charge to Keep," recounts
the thrills of his pilot training, which he completed in June 1970. "I
continued flying with my unit for the next several years," the governor
wrote.
But both accounts are contradicted by copies of Bush's military records,
obtained by the Globe. In his final 18 months of military service in 1972
and 1973, Bush did not fly at all. And for much of that time, Bush was all
but unaccounted for: For a full year, there is no record that he showed up
for the periodic drills required of part-time guardsmen.
Bush, who declined to be interviewed on the issue, said through a spokesman
that he has "some recollection" of attending drills that year, but maybe not
consistently.

"From the brief time that we did spend occupying Iraqi territory
after the war, I am certain that had we taken all of Iraq, we would
have been like the dinosaur in the tar pit - we would still be there,
and we, not the United Nations, would be bearing the costs of
the occupation. This is a burden I am sure the beleaguered
American taxpayer would not have been happy to take on."
- Norman Schwarzkopf, from his 1993 autobiography, "It Doesn't
Take a Hero."
