HOT NEWS! Rightwing lying about CBS, proof source was GUARD VET WITNESS of the "sanitizing" of Bush's files by Bush secret operatives before 2000 election. Proof again that AWOLBUSH.com has it right and that this is even more harmful to Bush. Beware attacking the messengers, rightwingers. And now Bush lied about Iraq too. So what HASNT he lied to us about? Anything? He's made AL Qaida stronger. He has to GO! "Texas Guard veteran Burkett, who has accused Bush aides of ordering the destruction of some portions of the president's National Guard record because they might have been politically embarrassing, did not return telephone calls to his home. His lawyer, David Van Os, issued a statement on Burkett's behalf saying he "no longer trusts any possible outcome of speaking to the press on any issue regarding George W. Bush and does not choose to dignify recent spurious attacks upon his character with any comment." In news interviews earlier this year, Burkett said he overheard a telephone conversation in the spring of 1997 in which top Bush aides asked the head of the Texas National Guard to sanitize Bush's files as he was running for a second term as governor of Texas. Several days later, he said, he saw dozens of pages from Bush's military file dumped in a trash can at Camp Mabry, the Guard's headquarters. The Bush aides Burkett named as participants in the telephone conversation were Chief of Staff Joe M. Allbaugh and spokespersons Karen Hughes and Dan Bartlett. All three Bush aides and former Texas National Guard Major General Daniel James have strongly denied the allegations. Earlier this year, Burkett gave interviews to numerous news outlets alleging corruption and malfeasance at the top of the Texas National Guard, many of which have never been substantiated. He has also been a named source for several reports by USA Today, which reported Monday that it had independently obtained copies of the disputed memos soon after the broadcast.

The problem with Bush is that he might honestly believe what he says about Iraq, that it will work out in the end. Eighteen months ago Bush fired Larry Lindsay for saying the Iraqi war might cost $200 billion. We were told Iraqi oil revenues would be used to finance the occupation and rebuilding. We were told that American soldiers would be welcomed with flowers and Bush claimed "Mission Accomplished. Fast forward to the current situation in which numerous Iraqi cities are "no go" for our soldiers, were deaths are running 75 a month, January elections look improbable and there literally is no end in sight to the killing. How Bush gets from his line of 18 months ago to his line now is what worries me. Is he lucid?
