CBS News has documents, memos, from Bush's commander in the National Guard in which he sat out the Vietnam war which say Bush Jr. shirked his responsibilities and used his father's political influence.
the controversy is over the authenticity of the memos, the Republicans are saying they are fakes. CBS stands by their authenticity.

The new papers may or may not be fakes but the fact remains:
Bush did shirk his responsibilities, or as the military calls it went AWOL, when he was in the National Guard.
People did him favors to get in the National Guard when others were more qualified.
He did not perform his duties when the country was at a time of war.
Those new papers, even if real, added nothing to what was already known.
