-"the fall of 1972 and spring of 1973 -- a period when his commanders have said he did not appear for duty at bases in Montgomery, Ala., and Houston..."

QUESTIONS...

-How was George Bush able to receive an Honorable Discharge from the Guard if he was confirmed to be AWOL by "his commanders"?

-Did "his commanders" (quoted and referred-to in the above article) notate George Bush's his "did not report for duty" violations in any Guard report or log?

-If not, then why are not "his commanders"'s credibilty being called into question? Wouldn't "his commanders" themselves be violating Guard regulations by NOT REPORTING George Bush's "did not report for duty" violations?

Seems to be like this is an easy cunnard to poke holes into, but the BUSH people and BUSH himself, are fumbling the opportunity to REALLY GO AFTER this insidious flap!

I think they're playing it brilliantly.

Look what has transpired: Kerry denigrates the guard
Kerry campaign appears to have gone negative
MORE attention has been paid to that era and Kerry's errant political calculation to join the radical anti-war movement
Kerry appears petty
Now Kerry appears wrong

Brilliantly done

"But the following month, he won permission to move to Alabama for several months to work on the US Senate campaign of Winton Blount, a Republican."

He was given permission to be off work. He was on vacation. This is not a transfer, this is vacation.
