Bush's War-Era Records Damaged / Alabama Service Still Not Verified
The records for "numerous service members" were damaged in 1996 and 1997 while officials tried to salvage deteriorating microfilm payroll records. The payroll summaries destroyed were for the first quarter of 1969 and the third quarter of 1972. "President Bush's payroll records for those two quarters were among the records destroyed," [Pentagon Freedom of Information Officer] Talbott said.
| [George W Bush] "You mean refusing to release my military records -- as every other presidential candidate who served has done -- was unnecessary? Because any evidence I skipped drill in 1972 has conveniently been destroyed? Whew, what a relief that's finally over!" |  |

Senate: Critic Didn't 'Debunk' Iraq-Niger Deal
The report contends that former ambassador Joseph Wilson, who traveled to Niger in early 2002 at the CIA's request to inquire about the uranium allegation, "did not change any analysts' assessment of the Iraq-Niger uranium deal...."The committee also reported that the British and the French informed U.S. officials that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger....
Bush alluded to the Iraq-Niger link in his 2003 State of the Union address, but the White House later backtracked, saying the allegation shouldn't have been included in the address to Congress because it was questionable.
| [George W Bush] "You mean I didn't have to lie about Iraq shopping for uranium? Woo-hoo! Sign me up for another presidential administration!" | |

| [Martha Stewart] | "Uh, hello? Mistress Cruella said I had her spoon -- can I have another spoon, please?" | |
