bush's national guard record

ok, so some microfiche has been located in some file in colorado that includes dates in 1972 and 1973 when bush WAS PAID for national guard service in alabama.........however, the commentator who i heard on the radio this afternoon raised the more important question......how is it that someone who served for 2 years can produce no 'buddies' of any kind who remember him? how is that the first time this issue came up..in the 2000 election...no person who remembered bush from the national guard came forward............sounds like daddy arranged for his boy to be 'paid' for dates in which he was elsewhere....and now that the pay dates are public record.....i am confident that some brilliant reportor will find some hard evidence that he was not in alabama on those days..........wouldn't that be rich...if bush had, say, a dui in new haven on a day in which he was paid to be in alabama.........i can only pray.............
