Bush: "I'm just envisioning what it would be like to be a young soldier..."

“I’m just envisioning what it would be like to be a young soldier in the middle of Iraq and realizing that politicians have all of the sudden made military determinations. And in my judgment, that would put a kid in harm’s way, more so than he or she already is.” — President Bush, today, on how withdrawing a soldier from Iraq will place him in greater danger.

Via Tim Grieve at War Room:

Is Shrub not a politician who has made sudden military determinations?? Is there any shit he will not spout? (Rhetorical question, of course.)

1. Bush, you don't need to use your imagination
just open up a website for the military families in Iraq/Afghanistan to tell you exactly what they think without retribution

5. I'm surprised he can envision himself being a young soldier
Edited on Fri Apr-27-07 04:55 PM by Ice4Clark
in Iraq when he couldn't envision being a young soldier in Viet Nam.

17. Politicians, like the Preznit, make military determinations all the time. It's called
"Civilian Control of the Military". Oh wait--he's not a politician--he's KING GEORGE! My bad.

18. No matter what * says, it is us, the American people, who need to protect
our troops from *'s madness.

If you had a madman neighbor that was killing all the children in your neighborhood, wouldn't you do something to stop him???

25. I was an infantry soldier and I envisioned my ass going home.
Does Bush think soldiers love extended combat duty in a hopeless quagmire?

Most soldiers are not stupid and figured out a long time ago that they are not fighting for anything but Bush's oil cronies.

I hope we have seen the lowest bar ever for President of the USA. GWB is simply despicable.
