"Back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare parts and..."

[Vickers]

"...equipment, and rapidly declining readiness have undermined the military's morale."

Go ahead...guess who said it.

That's right, George W. Bush, right there on page 239 of his "autobiography" A Charge to Keep.

Man, this is the best 25 cents (at Goodwill) I've ever spent! Lots of funny stuff like that sprinkled throughout. Here are some other ones:

"I oppose government investment of Social Security funds in private stocks or bonds..."

"...our military should not become permanent peacekeepers..."

"Ours should not be the paternalistic leadership of an arrogant big brother..."

But my favorite:

"Americans look at Washington and they don't like what they see. Who can blame them? They see partisanship and bickering. They see some who would rather score a point for the next election than get something done for the good of the nation."

So I ask you, George W. Bush: would the George of 1999 like the George of 2005?

I think I know the answer. :eyes:

1. I bet he doesn't even know he "said that" or took those positions...

I wonder who wrote this for him. I guess KKKarl put it together for him.

Too bad we can't burn him with this. They just reply with "9-11 changed everything" as if it was true.

3. I bet you're correct. Or maybe he said it when he was on another

drunken bender... OOPS! EXCUSE ME!!! Pretzel binge... :evilgrin:
