Significantly, it showed the unit joined a "24-hour active alert mission to safeguard against surprise attack" in the southern United State beginning on Oct. 6, 1972, a time when Bush did not report for duty, according to his pay records.

OK, I'm all ears. This is "significant" why??

GWB had asked and been granted months before that date permission to move temporarily to Alabama. Is the significance the GWB was supposed to divine via ESP that in October an important mission would be given to his unit and he'd better get the hell out of Dodge?

What's the "significance"?????????

See, you're missing the point on "Significantly". Back in the good old days of the USSR, you could tell when Pravda was lying because an article would start out: "As everyone knows..." "Significantly" means, "We don't see any connection here either, but we're hoping you're too dull to pick it up..." :)
