"We must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives; by defeating the terrorists," the president told a supportive crowd of several thousand people at Arlington National Cemetery.

~snip~

On Monday, Bush evoked the memories of American soldiers who have died, reading excerpts from the letters they wrote, in some cases letters that were to be opened only in the event that the soldier didn't make it home.

"My death will mean nothing if you stop now," Louisiana National Guard Sgt. Michael Evans wrote in a letter home. Evans died Jan. 28 while on patrol in western Baghdad, part of a major security operation to protect the first free Iraqi elections in more than 50 years.

"I know it'll be hard, but I gave my life so you could live, not just live, but live free," Evans wrote

~snip~

"Two terrorist regimes are gone forever, freedom is on the march and America is more secure," Bush said of the end of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq.


He is an absolutely absolutely Vile piece of crap... :puke:

1. 1 question comes to mind

from the parents? or the military?

2. 2 years ago...Mission Accomplished

The president's tribute at Arlington came in sharply different circumstances from the Memorial Day visit Bush made to the cemetery's Tomb of the Unknowns two years ago, just as the nation's problems stemming from the Iraq war were becoming apparent.

Before his Memorial Day remarks in 2003, Bush had declared major combat operations at an end, the U.S. government confidently predicted that weapons of mass destruction would be found and American generals said troops were in the process of stabilizing Iraq.

At that time, some 160 American soldiers had been killed in Iraq. Today, the total is over 1,650

Bush has a heart? I wasn't aware that pure evil needed one.

[IndianaGreen]

9. And we will remember the Downing Street Memo

and the blood that was needlessly shed on account of our Divine Emperor.

Death to the Empire, long live the Republic!

Anything that happens to that jerk couldn't be bad enough to make up for all the damage he has betowed since he STOLE the Oval office...TWICE! Damn that bastard!I hate him worse than Satan. :puke:

[Amonester]

39. I heard a "prediction" about some dictator...

... who would claim him ruling by the word of "Jeezus" but in reality, he would be an "Evil" thurd called The Anti-Christ.

Guess we do "recon" him right here, don't we?

Sadly fits * like a worm...

11. Question, Mr. Bush...

"How do you ask a man to be the last one to die for a lie?"

12. Rolling Thunder biker Bushbot admits that 3,900 doctors cut from Veterans

Administration Budget at a time when they are desparately needed. He was just interviewed by CNN's Judy Woodruff. Artie Muller's a Bush lover but hed had to bring out that fact.

Happy Memorial Day vets.

[leftchick]

17. The yahoo Memorial Day photo link is full of those morans

I can't even figure this one out....

31. Mr. Biker Security looks tougher than Jeffrey Guckert

I came home from a weekend trip and put on the news to get caught up. Rolling Thunder's moron leader was on TV sucking up to Bush royally. "WTC and the Pentagon", "Afghanistan and Iraq". That organization needs a new leader (or a clue).

[dArKeR]

36. Incredible photos. Thanks! I'm convinced that 50% of the actual total

30% support for the Repuke party in America comes from racist white supremacist. The other 50% of the 30% comes from radical Christian fundamentalist.

PS. When we all go to heaven my first question will be;
1. Which Republican orchestrated the Kennedy and King assassinations
2. Who choreographed this photo?

[tabasco]

38. Bush's preliminary budget for 2006 ...

cuts $910 million dollars from veteran's' care.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS !

[susu369]

13. Bush said America “has always been a reluctant warrior,”

Oh the irony, the irony.....

And he said that with a straight face?

[daa]

14. Bush says U.S. more secure, honors war dead

"For those who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq, today is a day of last letters and fresh tears," he said. "Because of the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, two terror regimes are gone forever, freedom is on the march and America is more secure." chimpy

I guess becuaus the White House was under potential attack along with his wife and this dumb ass doesnt' even know it, he must think we are more secure. What a dumb shit.

15. Hospital in Germany copes with heavy flow of wounded from Iran, Afghanista

LANDSTUHL, Germany (AP) With its quiet, winding halls, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at first looks like just another community hospital. But it has become a front line in the Iraq and Afghan wars thousands of miles away.

The patients young soldiers with faces lacerated by flying glass and shrapnel from exploding roadside bombs, others missing a leg or arm shuffle by, heading for an appointment or checkup. At this military hospital, there is a constant stream of new faces.

An average of about 23 patients arrive each day most from Iraq, where more than 12,350 soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen have been injured since the U.S.-led war began in March 2003. The flow can spike sharply, as it did during the battle for Fallujah: 537 over two days.

Fighting in Afghanistan adds more patients. Since troops arrived there in October 2001, 455 have been wounded in action through early this May, almost all of them coming to Landstuhl with injuries and wounds not normally found in a civilian hospital.

In civilian medicine, ``a blast injury is a very rare event,'' said Army Col. Rhonda Cornum, the hospital's medical director. ``Unfortunately, it's a very common thing here.''

President Bush Pays Tribute to War Dead

By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer Mon May 30,11:58 AM ET

ARLINGTON, Va. -
President Bush honored the war dead Monday, paying tribute equally to those fighting in today's era of terrorist threats and heroes from wars of yesteryear, including those buried at Arlington National Cemetery or still missing in action.

26. The Face of a Thug and War Criminal

Disgusting

[llmart]

29. Oh my God.......

every time I think he couldn't look any stupider, he proves me wrong. What an embarrassment to our country. When will this national nightmare end? When will we get back the country I used to be proud of?

[Stand and Fight]

20. He looks absolutely insane!

?x=289&y=345&sig=_.Qgg4EVX1Jtft2nuMQpfQ--

[ninkasi]

22. That's because he IS absolutely insane

He's a sociopath. He views the deaths of Americans and Iraqis as nothing more than points for him to make to get what he wants. To him, everything on earth revolves around him, and others are just a mirror, reflecting his own inflated image of himself.

I could never, ever, imagined, as a child, then a young adult, and now in my sixties, that the United States of America would tolerate a criminally insane president. I mourn for the country I lost, and for the lives so casually ordered into danger and death to satisfy this pathetic man's opinion of himself as a "warrior" president.

[Qanisqineq]

21. Nice to see him so happy to be alive

there are 1650+ troops whose families wish they were alive. I found the whole day to be rather depressing.

[freeplessinseattle]

24. He looks like the Joker in Batman

or my worst nightmare

[flordehinojos]

25. to me, his face in that picture looks just like the face of DRACULA

returning from some sort of blood sucking event in which he has sucked the blood of countlesss and countless victims.

It is as if the man is energized by the celebration of ward, and death and blood sucking.

[radfringe]

27. how touching

and to think he has yet to attend a funeral for even one of the fallen...

[radfringe]

28. how touching

30. Unbelievable

Couldn't he even PRETEND to look sad? What an embarrassment he is.

[Kolesar]

32. Yahoo took that picture down on the story

It must be that "liberal bias" in the media at work again.

[rooboy]

33. Who will ever forget seeing the coffins coming home...

and the honor guards there to meet them. :sarcasm:

[warrens]

34. Meanwhile, he was pressuring the Pentagon to skip Hack's funeral

Pissing on a REAL war hero's grave. SOP for these monsters.
