The man who is almost single-handedly behind the story that Bush was AWOL is William Turnipseed of Alabama.
"The media is now re-examining the story, though, and the Bush-haters are quite happy about it. As this story in today's Washington Post indicates, there is plenty of evidence Bush was not AWOL from his Guard duties. Indeed, one of the foundational pieces of the Bush-haters' lie is the failure of a colonel in Alabama to recall Bush ever being on post.
Reached in Montgomery yesterday, Turnipseed stood by his contention that Bush never reported to him. But Turnipseed added that he could not recall if he, himself, was on the base much at that time."
Look at all of the Google hits you get on Turnipseed, and you'll see he is behind most (if not all) of the stories:
This guy is right up there with the 'rat functionary who pushed the 20 year old DWI story into the media. I hope he enjoys the "attention" he gets.
Peter Jennings is behind this non-story.
Remember, he hates American power, and a Kerry/UN/Soros ticket will suit the elite lib media just fine.
The first hundred (of almost a 1,000) hits from Google give you some idea of how Edwards supporter, Turnipseed has promoted this story:

That is a bit of trivia.
I'll store it away.
Thank you
If the President had been AWOL he would have been brought up on charges and either convicted (likely) or acquitted. Those types of records do not disappear. That record would be the hottest piece of paper in town if it existed. If it did exist it would already be plastered on the front page of the New York Times in 4 inch type. If the President was brought up on charges there would be people that would damn well remember the charges and inquest.
We have the word of one man, Colonel Turnipseed. We have nothing else to back up the claim.
1. No records of this>
2. No one stepping forward about charges>
3. During the last election Al Gore had the entire Federal Government at his disposal. If those records existed he would have found them and destroyed Bush with them.
Colonel Turnipseed is either confused about what happened or Colonel Turnipseed is DAMNED LIAR. I suspect the latter.
