Retired Guard Officer Says He Saw Some Files Discarded in Trash

Retired National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett said Tuesday that in 1997, then Governor Bush's chief of staff Joe Allbaugh told the National Guard chief to get the Bush file and make certain that 'there is not anything in there that will embarass the governor.'

Col. Burkett said that a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, he saw Mr. Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can.

He said he recognized the documents as retirement point summaries and pay forms.

Bush aides denied any destruction of records in Mr. Bush's personnel file.

'These charges are flat out flat out not true,' said Dan Bartlett, White House Communications Director.

Dems can't even blame their BS on a real person anymore. Next they'll have quotes from Harvey the Rabbit.

First: And what's wrong with this post?

Second: If this clown saw discarded documents from the Governor's file in the trash can, don't you think he'd fish them out for selling to the dems or, at least, for souvenirs.

Look--this may have been posted by a new freeper, but it was certainly reported in the Dallas Morning News. We need to know about what's being reported. This person did us a favor, because it apparently hasn't been posted elsewhere.

We have to learn to make ourselves aware of the stuff that's being said about the president, and not get so emotional about it that we don't use good sense.

Unless the powers that be know something I don't, I can't understand why the poster got the boot. I don't see anything wrong with him posting this article.

But, maybe someone knows something about him that I don't.

I remember the contents of the trash cans at Ft. Ord as well! Everytime I visited my brother there, I checked the ones in the drill sargents office. The trash was always very readable, so I checked for my brothers name whenever I could.

This was more than twenty years ago, but I still remmeber it clearly! Especially the paper that said, as his sister, I would be allowed 50% off at the commisary. Yes. I read that. I sure did. Now, can I have my discount please? The trash can contents said I should have it.

Now how often do "Lt. Col's" go through trash cans, too?!

Hilarious lie, though. I'll give 'em that much!

First day signed up, posted nothing but AWOL stories and then tried to cover his tracks by pretending to be a wingnut.

Aren't the forms in question the ones which were produced yesterday?

I hope these people get what they have coming to them come November.

Since I've been here longer than you does that mean my oppinion is more valuable? Or does it mean I have to ask your permission to post something.

Sometimes you guys are too damn quick to jump on folks. Let it play out a little and you might learn something. Or is it a "power" thing?

Did anyone see the poster's comment, "Is this the best Terry Mac can do?" Hardly seems to be a comment that would come from a DU'er.
