How Dare Bush DO THIS?

[slinkerwink]

Especially, when his lies about the war, is what put that soldier in that bed......


:nuke:

1. heh I can hear him now

BS alert:


Son.. you fought bravely for the freedom of americans, your actions will NOT be forgotten, I will pray for you.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. I'm sure the only reason Shrub visited

was because he had to go to Bethesda to get a checkup himself, and because Rove thought the photos would look good posted next to lies about how Bush supports the troops.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

15. Nope, supposedly it was the other way around. And quite a snub

to Bethesda, the traditional Presidential hospital, as this is Walter Reed.

[izzie]

3. Well they had to do this. Just saying he was going was not doing it.

This is his going to the people around the news thng.

[bluestateguy]

4. I'm sure the Secret Service vetted him

I'm sure they made sure that the only soldiers visited were hawkish Republicans who adore Bush and yearn for ever more war. Can't have any embarassing moments there.

5. It's another "turkey shot"

just like the TG trip to Bahgdad (or the Nevada desert).

[slinkerwink]

6. yep, followed by more inconsistencies in his administration towards vets

[GOPisEvil]

7. Inconsistencies?

How about screwing them outright? Why mince words when it comes to Bush*? :D

[ET Awful]

8. I wonder if that's the same soldier . . .

"A disabled soldier will never see combat again, but he might find himself fighting a new fight against the government's medical bureaucracy.

Lieutenant John Fernandez, who lost part of both legs in Iraq, knows he can no longer be a soldier, but he's not ready to leave the army.

"I personally don't think it's right to be forced out of the — the military and all of a sudden be forced to live on half of the pay that I was getting," he says.

Ryan Kelley, who lost his left leg below the knee, makes about $20,000 a year as a staff sergeant. Once he leaves the army, he will receive about $8,000 a year in benefits."

9. AWOL has a bum knee ...

which is the only reason he is at that hospital.

The young man pictured had a leg blown off because of AWOLs greedy oil war, which is the only reason he is at that hospital.

Truly shameful. I am embarrassed for America.

10. All this shows is that he saw "Patton".

"Well shewt boy. It got George C Scott an Oscar didn't it? It oughtta work for me."

[Guaranteed]

11. Caption:

"Sir, this brain transplant operation will be not only a gift to me, but to the whole nation."

[gobblemy]

12. Is that guy a real patient

or just the next photo op?

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. yeah that soldier looks real happy to see him

He looks like he'd kick his ass if he could get out of bed.

14. Some compassionate president!

I have a few problems with the way he is handling the dead and injured soldiers.

1. For all of those who have lost their lives, have he made any attempt to contact at least one family? Or, attend one funeral?

2. The only reason he visited those soldiers yesterday was because he had an MRI on his knee. Now, would he have gone over to the hospital if he had not have to have his knee checked?

3. Finally, what is being done about those soldiers that were injured in the midst of battle, receive medical attention, only to arrive home and have bill waiting for them?

[NightTrain]

16. "Nothing personal, son, but I'm cutting your veteran's benefits."

Is this the most corrupt and cynical administration ever???

[geniph]

17. Did he injure his knee cheerleading?

or was it the fateful pretzel attack?

[VOX]

18. He'll go to a hopital for a photo-op, but he won't go to their funerals...

Doesn't look good.

Ass****.
