The White House last night released a document showing that President Bush was at a military base in Alabama during the last year of his National Guard service, but aides backed away from his weekend pledge to release all his military records.

The White House released the records this week in an effort to end a controversy that has put White House aides on the defensive amid Democratic accusations that Bush shirked his duty. Administration officials declined yesterday to commit to releasing further records, despite a statement Sunday by Bush on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he would open his entire military file.

Communications director Dan Bartlett said the White House expects much in the file to already be in the public domain, but added that anything new concerning Bush's attendance in Alabama would be released. But Bartlett -- like McClellan -- was emphatic that the White House had no immediate plans to open Bush's entire file, which would include his Guard medical records.

During a televised briefing, McClellan was read that exchange and asked if that was still the White House position. "The specific question was about service, whether or not he had served in the military, if you go back to look at the context of the discussion," he replied. "And the president said, if we have them, we'll release them, relating to that issue. We have released what additional documents came to our attention."

1. Surprise, surprise. Oh well, no one really expected these guys to be

up front and honest about this, did they? I sure as hell didn't.

2. I thought Timmy mentioned tax records, too,

didn't he?

3. Well, now that they've cleared that up,

maybe we can go onto the important business of not answering public concerns about other lies and crimes.

4. Might there be some info about his transfer to ARF in Colo.?

Isn't this a sort of punishment batallion? Or at least a dumping ground for washouts?

I can't wait to compare his evaluations, etc. with the record of Kerry's Bronze Star (quoted elsewhere in another thread).

5. Yet another hidden records situation for Bush.

How many is that now?
