Report: Bush short on Guard duty

The Boston Globe is reporting that George W. Bush did not satisfactorilly complete his obligations to the Texas Air National Guard, concludes a study by retired Army Colonel Gerald A. Lechliter.

It's time for the military to start calling in some old debts, starting with W.
