Debunking The Bush AWOL Story - From The Horse's Mouth

Newsmax only perpetuates the myth. I have not seen Turnipseed interviewed, only selectively quoted. How could he recant something he didn't say and was misquoted or quoted out of context to serve the Globe's ideological bias?

Back then retired Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed told the Boston Globe that Bush had never appeared for Guard drills. But on Wednesday Gen. Turnipseed withdrew the allegation, telling NBC, "I don't know if [Bush] showed up, I don't know if he didn't. I don't remember how often I was even at the base."

Again, the Press appears to be lying. Turnipseed did not 'withdrew' the story, the lying scribblers manipulated his words.

From the "Debunking The Bush AWOL Story - From The Horses Mouth" thread:

The points Turnipseed wanted to stress are these: Bush was never ordered to report for duty to his unit. Since Bush was in the Texas National Guard and Turnipseed was in the Alabama National Guard, he couldn't have ordered him even if he had wanted to. But he didn't want to.

You cannot be AWOL if you did not receive any official transfer orders. Nothing but lies from the press.

It is really a shame the depths to which so-called journalism has sunk. It's amazing it takes a private individual to go check out the source of a story that's so much based on one man's supposed statements.
