It's a morbid thought I had while reading this article about how much dubya likes to give his speeches surrounded by troops.

"The visit offered Bush one of his favorite backdrops: an audience of American troops."

1. A sobering statement...

But so very true. And even while they're cheering his every hollow word, you've got to think some of them will have that thought in the back of their minds.

2. The asshole has yet again made the wrong decision

I heard a resident of Fayetteville say today that they don't appreciate him coming there and using the soldiers as a backdrop. Said he should have given the speech in Washington.
