Personal Military Records

CLAIM: Russert -- "Would you authorize the release of everything to settle this?" Bush -- "Yes, absolutely. We did so in 2000 by the way."

Fact: Records off-limits. On 5/23/2000, the Boston Globe reported, "s Bush has risen in public life over the last several years, Texas military officials have put many of his records off-limits and heavily redacted many other pages."

Claim: "I did show up in Alabama."

Fact: Unit commander doesn't believe he showed up for duty. The Boston Globe reports that Bush's assigned unit commander, William Turnipseed, and his administrative officer, Kenneth K. Lott, do not believe that Bush reported. In an interview Turnipseed said, "Had he reported in, I would have had some recall, and I do not. I had been in Texas, done my flight training there. If we had had a first lieutenant from Texas, I would have remembered."

Bush is delusional, and the dangerous thing about him, he believes his lies. He totally believes everything. It must be nice to feel so confident in yourself and that those around you will protect you that you don't need to be accountable for anything you've ever done in your life.
It's almost like everything before 2000 doesn't matter, or didn't happen. I think it's all the alchohol he imbibed. It has completely erased the finer points of his memory and brain in general.

Yes. He's quite like a serial killer. And he IS a serial killer. And they are making America psychotic right along with them.
