AWOL PRESIDENT? GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW
Pentagon: Bush record accidentally destroyed

From the New York Times via the Houston Chronicle:

Military records that could help establish President Bush's whereabouts during his disputed service in the Texas Air National Guard more than 30 years ago have been inadvertently destroyed, according to the Pentagon.

It said the payroll records of "numerous service members," including former First Lt. Bush, had been ruined in 1996 and 1997 by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service during a project to salvage deteriorating microfilm.

No backup paper copies could be found, it added in notices dated June 25.

The destroyed records cover three months of a period in 1972 and 1973 when Bush's claims of service in Alabama are in question.

Destroyed, huh? What a wild coincidence! The records that could have shown that George W. Bush skipped out on several months of Air National Guard duty back in the early 1970s were accidentally destroyed. And by the Pentagon, no less! Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Of course, I'm being sarcastic.
