Hey look, another Kerry campaign memo.
Right... sure.
He also said, to Jim Angle of FOXNEWS, that he hasn't made up his mind about whom he's voting for.
Bush probably doesn't remember him, either.
Not this guy again.
I was on a baseball team in 1968. I don't remember a person's name on that team. I played softball for 25 years and baseball for three years after that. I probably wouldn't remember 5% of the names of my teammates.
One of them could have become Pope and I wouldn't know it.
So what!
Since Bush was never assigned to the Alabama Guard, we shouldn't be suprised that not everyone in the Alabama guard saw him. There are certainly those who DID see him in Alabama and they are on record about this. Why would one guy who says he didn't see him be news?
I think it might be news to learn that a candidate for president gamed the system to receive 5 medals in 22 days in order to get shipped out of Vietnam. But that's just me.
A big "SO WHAT?" I'll bet President Bush doesn't remember him either.
But Mintz said he never saw the lieutenant and did not realize until four years ago that he was George W. Bush, the future president of the United States.
Maybe Mintz didn't see him because Mintz was AWOL.

Former Dannelly worker: Bush not AWOL By Eric Fleischauer DAILY Staff Writer eric@decaturdaily.com · 340-2435 Retired Master Sgt. James Copeland does not care so much whether people think President Bush went absent without leave in 1972, but one thing he hears bothers him plenty. "Maybe the Bush family was well known in Texas, but we didn't know who he was here. He was just another guy in a flight jacket," Copeland said Sunday. Copeland, who lives in Hartselle, retired from the Air Force on Jan. 31, 1980. He was the disbursement accounting supervisor, a full-time position, for Dannelly Air National...

A retired Air National Guard physician recalls giving President Bush a physical in 1972, his son said Saturday, adding another memory to the small but growing pool of recollections of Bush's military service in Montgomery. The memories of Bush's service contradict a dearth of paperwork surrounding his time assigned to the Alabama Air National Guard, but a retired Air National Guard personnel officer said the lack of records could very well be the result of shoddy record-keeping, as opposed to deliquence on Bush's part.

Not only was George W. Bush fulfilling his National Guard duties in 1972, he was already showing the conservative political ideology that is now the bane of many Democrats, according to a Joppa man. Joe Holcombe, 71, was the office manager for Winton "Red" Blount in his unsuccessful race for the U.S. Senate in 1972. Bush was the county coordinator for Blount's campaign, Holcombe said. The Blount family and the Bush family were good friends, Holcombe said. Blount lost to Morgan County native and U.S. Sen. John Sparkman. Bush joined Blount's campaign "a little before or a little after the...
Please go to Byron York's piece at www.thehill.com (09/08/04) and Gordon Bloyer at www.americandaily.com (08/31/04) then ask Lt. Col. Mintz if he would like to assert that bush failed to meet his obligations.
This is only gonna matter to people who have drunk the koolaid anyway.
Gee, I wonder how many swift boat vets have heard of Kerry being in Vietnam don't remember seeing him there.
Germantown is full of helpful idiots, some are ex military. I figure Mintz using his military training mainly to the a commercial license. There are a lot of FedEx jockeys of questionable background.
How much did they pay this SOB? I hope selling the Country out was worth it.
I remember almost no one I served with and that wasn't even remotely 30 years ago. This doesn't mean that the guys that I served with were AWOL.
I saw this buffoon on TV. I got the impression he has difficulty remembering his own name, much less every member of a 1000-man group he was in 35 years ago. He's not going to convince anybody who isn't already a RAT moron.
BREAKING NEWS: Someone claims he didn't see someone else
By claiming this guy is a source--because he was on a base where literally thousands were, and didn't see Bush--they have just validated the Swift vets, who weren't on Kerry's boat but were right beside him, slept in the same area, etc.
Thanks!
