Do you know for sure that he hasnt received anything extra? I dont.

A picture might be worth 1000 words, but those 1000 words could be drastically different depending on who is reading them.

The chances are that the person GWB was being photographed with had been 'vetted' prior to the visit, being asked about his views and stuff like that, the President doesn't just turn up and chance meeting someone who might give him a load of verbal, so there could well be some kind of freebie going on with him or something similar of that nature. Anyone who has ever been in the military will know that's what happens whenever a big name gets shown around to 'kiss babies'.

It happens lots of other places too, for example, when I worked at a paper a few years back, Tony Blair came to the premises as part of the drive for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, the paper I worked at being one of the big sponsors. He was kept well clear of the 'peasants' (i.e. all us workers), as he probably would have received a few choice comments, and at the time the editor was sucking up to him big time, writing lots of creeping fawning letters on the editorial page (probably after a knighthood or something). Actually, I did bump into TB on that visit, he was coming through the canteen when I went down there for a cigarette and a cup of tea, and he came breezing through (with his jacket off and sleeves rolled up, that being TB's attempt to look like one of the people), and the editor was tailing along behind him like some kind of faithful puppy, it was embarrassing to watch actually, all the editor needed to do to make himself have any less dignity would have been to wring a cap in his hands.

Trust me, those kind of visits are more rehearsed and stage-managed than a West End show.

I'm amazed that Bush can actually look at these men and not wonder "What am I doing?"

most of them are too awful to look at

************************** bush.

i wonder how many more innocent people end up like this before Israel decides the U.S should pull out of iraq..

My son is currently patrolling the Iraq/Iran border with the 101st Airborne. I know what his mission is: Stay Alive and do evrything he can to make sure his buddies do to. Their world is a million miles away from politics. They're tired and just want to come home.

When I see bush (lack of capital letter intentional) posing with wounded Veterans, it disgusts me.

How can a man without honor bestow honor?

elite_hunter_sh3 · 11-17-07, 10:26 AM

hes not a man at all, hes a filthy moronic coward, only thing he deserves right now, is to be tortured to the extreme, then executed...

killed thousands of troops over some B.S that didnt exist..

An honest and straight post, thank you. Best wishes for your son's safe return. Cause when I say that I'm also a million miles away from politics.

At least he bothers.

These poor buggers may be disfigured, and they may be disabled, but they signed up as volunteers. Last time i checked the US doesnt have conscription...

They signed up knowing that there was a chance they'd be sent away to fight a war... whether they agree with it or not, i've little doubt they went into it gladly - its their job! its what they put so many hard hours into training for...

Bottom liine of it is that they accept the risks when they enlist, these poor fellas lucked out but believe it or not, people have been coming home from wars in similar states for thousands of years.
