Former NBC producer Daniel Hopsicker connects some dots on his MadCowMorningNews 2004 02 25:In the official version of George W. Bush’s chronology during his National Guard years is a striking statement which has been totally overlooked in the major media. A timeline of President George W. Bush's service in the National Guard compiled by The Associated Press says, for 1971: “Participates in drills and alerts at Ellington. Begins work for Houston-based agricultural company.”

When the media roll over completely on the old "who what when where & why business," . . .Somebody is covering something up.
[. . .]
A profile of George W in 2000 in Texas Monthly said, “George W. Bush’s responsibilities included sizing up plant nurseries for possible acquisition.”
Is it just us? Does anyone else have a problem seeing George W. Bush as Mr. Green Jeans? . . .
What did George W. Bush know about tropical plants that made him a horticultural expert sharp enough to be deployed overseas looking for acquisitions?
The question answers itself. The answer is, almost assuredly, "nothing." So it is reasonable to conclude that George W. Bush wasn't in the tropical plant business during the year he says he was.
So then, just what business was Bush involved with, while traipsing around Central America?

MadCowMorningNews has uncovered indications that George W. Bush was in Central America serving a ‘tour of duty’ in a shadowy arm of the U.S. Government which Watergate burglar and disgraced CIA Agent E. Howard Hunt called "Clandestine Services." . . .
Bush's plant-nursin' jet-flyin' story may have just been the future Presidents “cover” while the young second lieutenant was actually detached—officially or otherwise—to a massive clandestine U.S. government operation that was going on right at this time in Central America, called Operation Condor.

The Secret History of the Alabama Guard . . .
From an Air Guard base in Montgomery, where a decade later George W Bush will, Zen-like, both be and not be, Barry Seal participated in Caribbean and Central American operations . . . There's much more at the source link, and Hopsicker goes on to break down the relationship between this "nursery" company and Zapata -- Poppy Bush's CIA-front oil company.
Here's more on Operation Condor from the National Security Archive at George Wasington University:On March 6, 2001, The New York Times reported the existence of a recently declassified State Department document revealing that the United States facilitated communications among South American intelligence chiefs who were working together to eliminate left-wing opposition groups in their countries as part of a covert program known as Operation Condor.
The document, a 1978 cable from Robert E. White, the U.S. ambassador to Paraguay, was discovered by Professor J. Patrice McSherry of Long Island University, who has published several articles on Condor. She called the cable "another piece of increasingly weighty evidence suggesting that U.S. military and intelligence officials supported and collaborated with Condor as a secret partner or sponsor."
