"We spoke about him only in terms that he was a pretty good pilot and that, on a couple of occasions, he tried to volunteer for operation `Palace Alert,' " Killian said. "Palace Alert" was a program that dispatched Guard members in Texas to the Vietnam War.

I'll bet I can gin up a memo to that effect and send it to Dan. I am sure he will block out an hour on "60 Minutes of Lies" to report it.

Boy, I read the May 19 1972 memo and then the May 26 1972 over=all evaluation report. They sure don't fit. He signs after Major Harris, of course, but concurs with him.

I'd almost say he wanted Bush to stay in his unit very badly and that he was kinda angry that he didn't have the power.

Of course, I also think that they are phoney, because even if you're covering your a**, pointing your finger to someone upstairs isn't going to help you.

The bottom line is that Bush wanted to fulfill his duty (It says so in black and white) and help his Dad AND he inquired "what do I have to do" to make it happen. What's wrong with that?

I'd be damn pleased to have Bush for a son. He's persevered in everything he's done and he's turned out to be extraordinary, way beyond my wildest dreams. He could have had it easy.
