Lies and the Lying Liars...W's National Guard Time Memorialized

Donald Kaul recently retired as Washington columnist for the Des Moines Register.


Things have not been going well in the House of Bush recently - his agenda isn’t doing well in Congress, investigations keep turning up embarrassing facts, foreign elections are being won by people who hate us - but there have been some happy developments, too.

For instance, the National Guard Association of the United States
unveiled a life-size bronze bust of the young Lt. George Bush, memorializing his time in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. One can only hope that someday it will grace the George W. Bush Library.

It’s an important monument because it’s almost the only record we have of Mr. Bush’s Guard service, during which he went Missing In Alabama for a year and finally just stopped going to meetings.

Maybe this year on Veterans’ Day he’ll lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Deserter.

Don Kaul is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-losing Washington
correspondent who, by his own account, is right more than he's wrong.
