Laura Bush on The Today Show April 25, 2007:
ANN CURRY: Do you know the American people are suffering... watching [Iraq]?
LAURA BUSH: Oh, I know that very much, and, believe me, no suffers more than
their president and I do when we watch this. And certainly the
commander-in-chief who has asked our military to go into harm's way.
AC: What do you think the American people need to know...
LB: Well, I hope they do know the burden of worry that's on his shoulders
every single day for our troops. And I think they do. I think if they don't,
they're not seeing what the real responsibilities of our president are.
AC: It must be hard for you to watch him in this.
LB: It's hard. Of course, it's absolutely hard.
Believe me, Laura, there are many others who suffer more than you and your
husband when they watch on TV the horrors of Iraq. I can name several people
I know personally, myself included, who have suffered much more than you
because of this war. You only have to watch it on TV when you chosoe to. You
can turn it off and on at will and walk away from it. Thousands upon
thousands of others cannot.
Have you stayed up all night, walking the floors of your home, wondering
about the last moments of your child's life? Have you had to sit back and
watch as your daughters mourned their big brother, their only brother, who
is now dead? Have you held and comforted your husband whose heart has
broken? Just tell me, how have you and the President suffered in all of
this, tucked away safe and sound in your Ivory Tower?
What about the military families who send their sons, daughters, husbands,
wives, moms, and dads into battle over and over again? Have you suffered the
way they have? Have you lost your job, your family? Have you or any member
of your family come home maimed for life from the loss of limbs? Has any
member of your family suffered from PTSD or suicidal thoughts? Have you sat
up all night wondering if you will ever hear from your loved one again
because you know they are in harm's way?
Let's talk about the soldiers who are not getting the supplies and equipment
they need but are doing their best every single day to do their jobs in an
impossible situation - because your husband sent them to an ill-begotten,
immoral and unjust war against a country and a people who did not attack us.
They miss their homes, their families, their lives. And their lives will
never be the same if they do come home unharmed. The men and women of our
military have suffered much more than you and George.
Most of all, have you even given one ounce of thought to the people of Iraq?
What about their suffering? How many tens of thousands of deaths have they
suffered? How many of their homes have been destroyed? How many whole
families have been killed?
I promise you, Laura, there is absolutely no way you and George have
suffered even close to the suffering of the military families, the soldiers,
the people of Iraq have suffered. You could not unless you sent one of your
beloved children or other family members into the war. You are so far
removed from it that I don't think you have the capacity for understanding
the true suffering of the war in Iraq. Don't get me wrong, I believe that
you, as a woman and a mother, probably do have some empathy for the
suffering. But you do not understand. Not even close.
Please do not insult our intelligence and the sacrifice of the soldiers and
their families or the people of Iraq with such comments again.

Yep. Another coverup. Like George's DUI, AWOL, cocaine, booze, etc., it
is rarely mentioned. I'm sure that the Swiftboat Liars Squads are
gearing up and if one of the Democratic candidates got so much as got a
jaywalking ticket, we'll hear all about it for the next year and a half.

a desk job.
You know what this means, don't you? A draft can't be far behind.

If he wants to continue his adventures in the Middle East, there's no

Yes. George Peckerhead Bush--Chimp's nephew, Jughead's boy, is in the
Navy Reserve. I doubt he'll see any real action, since he's slated to be
in--get this--military intelligence.
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P._Bush
On March 21, 2007 the United States Navy Reserve announced the selection
of Bush for training as an intelligence officer. Once commissioned as an
Ensign for eight years of reserve service, he will attend officer
candidate school and then undergo a year of intelligence training,
initially assigned to duty near his home.[9]
Bush told The Politico that attending the October 2006 commissioning of
the aircraft carrier named for his grandfather -- the USS George H.W.
Bush -- inspired him to join the service. He also called the death of Pat
Tillman, the NFL player and Army Ranger who was killed in a friendly fire
incident in Afghanistan in 2004, "a wake-up call."[9]

So the only naval 'action' he's likely to see is in the hot tub.

Pat Tillman? Some wake-up call.
