As I stated in another reply on this thread, I've read everything in this forum's archives on this topic. I found a lot of angry comments, but I didn't find a citation or link to an official position on the topic. Surely President Bush's staff must have prepared an official response at some time, so where is it?

Responding to the Globe's report that his Alabama base commander had no recollection of Bush ever showing for drills, the governor said "I pulled duty in Alabama and I read the comments and the guy said he didn't remember me. That's 27 years ago, but I remember being there."

Do you realize how obvious you are? It is also quite obvious that you do not intend to take Miss Marple's advice and read the articles. This issue has been disected a million times and if there was any truth to it, the Democrats would not have let it go. The fact that President Bush did not put out a statement that meets with your satisfaction is really not the issue here. Your desire to perpetuate a lie IS. I think I hear DU calling you. Your crap won't work here.

There's no "official" response from the Bush White House regarding any leftist allegation of stupidity, drug use, killing political enemies, or President Bush going AWOL, and do you know WHY? You don't give credence to a lie by issuing a denial to it. (It's sort of like NOT answering the question of "when did you stop beating your wife?"). Instead, you let the real facts of the situation come out from legitimate third-party sources, such as what occurred here, and let people think for themselves. Your insistence on a response from the WH as "proof" of his loyalty is what people are objecting to as suspicious about your real agenda here. And you know what? I agree with them.
