Has Bush been to a single soldier's funeral?
Anyone know the honest answer?

I haven't heard of it if he has.

2. Don't know for sure, but...
didn't he say something along the lines of since he couldn't go to all of them he shouldn't go to one.

I'm operating off of memory here, always a chancy thing with me, so I hope someone can come up with the exact quote.

4. None, but I wouldn't want him there anyway
If I lost a relative in Iraq the last person I would want to see at the funeral was the man who sent him there to die on lies and bullshit.

He would just politicize funerals anyway with more of his "stay the course" crap: "Oh, don't let this young man die in vain..."; that kind of crap.

5. Bush is like Babs. Why waste their beautiful minds on dead bodies?
That's for those working people who are lucky to get in the military, if they succeed Russian roulette. W says "glad its your kids, not mine", and just parties on.

6. Someone wrote that Bush is afraid to go to Veterans' funerals because
a hand might reach out and drag him down to hell where * belongs.
