Guard records President Bush ranked in the middle of his Air National Guard flight class and flew 336 hours in a fighter jet before letting his pilot status lapse and missing a key readiness drill in 1972, according to flight records released yesterday under the Freedom of Information Act. Defense officials told the Associated Press that they had found two dozen new records detailing the president's training and flight logs after AP filed a lawsuit. The Pentagon said, "At the time President Bush left the service, flight records were subject to retention for only 24 months, and we understood that neither the Air Force nor the Texas Air National Guard retained such records thereafter. "The Department of Defense regrets this oversight during the previous search efforts," the Pentagon said. Still, the new logs shed little light on charges made by Democrats that Mr. Bush shirked his Guard duties. They show that Mr. Bush, a lieutenant in the Texas Air National Guard, ranked No. 22 in a class of 53 pilots when he finished his flight training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia in 1969.

Kerry's only hope is a revived CIA campaign against Bushy behind the scenes reviving Plume exposure case reviving Prison photos into the news putting Bushy's military AWOL performance in the spotlight the Boston Globe will guarantee Kerry a few New England states they are all small if this Globe article appeared in heartland newspapers, then big deal since in Boston, BIG EFFING DEAL Kerry made a fatal mistake in steering his campaign toward leadership and military credibility he gave in to the Bushy directives all polls indicated over 50% stressed importance of economy now the economy is not in the picture also, in his avoidance of direct attack ads, he takes the high road THERE IS NO HIGH ROAD IN PREZ POLITICS who are the morons advising Kerry? would they be equally stupid as Cabinet Ministers? as of now, Kerry would face a landslide loss he is looking like a boob just like with the Senate, he is a noshow lately the press is not behind him, the liberal press he has lost control completely of the agenda I have concluded that Bushy discontinued federal jobless benefits so that the unemployment rate could come down it worked, and he is now campaigning on it like a fool the even stupider public believes him / jim
