I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Well said, Pfc. Henry
Promote that man!
Why do I think a promotion is not in Pvt. Henry's future.
Let's see how the 'Thugs push to get all the military votes counted this election. The military are getting screwed in new ways almost daily by these guys.
Byebye, Citizen Bush.

There is something about actual combat that turns most soldiers off. If Pvt. Henry was willing to voice his misgivings, you can bet that there are thousands who share his opinion. He shouldn't have given his name, however. Better yet, the reporter should have had enough sense to omit it from his article.
Has the Texas Air National Guard been put on alert?
He's talking out of his ass again:
"Government has thwarted faith to be involved in our communities because of what they call the doctrine of separation of church and state," Bush told the audience of 800 donors. "And that's a noble doctrine; the church should never be the state, and the state certainly should never be the church. But our government must not fear the application of faith into solving social problems. We must not worry about people of faith receiving taxpayers' money to help people in need."
So what, exactly, is the difference of the church and the state, if the church receives tax money?
Isn't the church then a federal program?
While what he said isn't nice, it isn't enough for formal proceedures.
Unofficially, his ass could be grass, though I doubt at this point anyone would harass him. They are probably buying him drinks.
The WaPo article on Bush's speach doesn't cover the soldiers at all, or the fact that they'll get 30 days leave and turn around.
I wonder what winters are like in Iraq?
Anony, where did you find that piece of crap? Sick son of a gun.
Housecleaning! So much better!
Felix,
No, it's the other way around: Government becomes just a part of the church. "Social Programs" mean giving money to the clergy so they can use it on missionary crusades and to help launder drug money. That's what men with Faith can do.
I endured part of the speech on the NewsHour. Chimpy delivered it with even more than his usual dopey smugness. Every line about his "accomplishments" in Iraq and in the War on Turr ended with that little smirk of self-satisfaction. Nixon, Reagan, . . . I have never felt this degree of loathing for a President. Not even close.
I wonder what winters are like in Iraq?
Melanie - cooler than 45 degrees Celsius, I'm sure. So no worries!
"He likes war. He should go fight in a war for two days and see how he likes it."
They could have just run that. The GIS - some GIs - know he got out of Vietnam. I'd guess they all know.
Melanie,
If it's anything like Saudi, colder than you would believe. Specially at night.
I'm seriously worried about Pvt. Henry. What was the paper thinking in publishing his name? Damn.
If it's anything like Saudi, colder than you would believe. Specially at night.
Cold, like it's cold during Georgia winters?
As someone mentioned in another thread, aren't Bush's "public appearances" now limited only to military bases and fundraisers?
Give it a few months, there'll be boos from the military audiences as well.
If anyone still believes that Bush is just an easily manipulated, silly halfwit, I would encourage them to shed that misconception. He really is a wretched, immoral human being.
I don't know what this Pvt Henry is talking about. Bush flew a jet, landed on an aircraft carrier, and had a massive bulge in his flight suit. Doesn't that make him a military hero?
Yeah, and he gets off on killing. Sounds like a Republican Hero to me.
Why do the troops hate America?
who gives shit about the weather if the natives continue to lob genades at you.
CLARK/HENRY IN '04!!!!!
they are military. they are probably under direct orders to cheer.
After that Bx look-alike (well, alright, blonde), act-alike, Custer was killed, the indian women punctured his ears with darning needles 'so he could hear better next time, when they warned him not to come back.'
Better get Little George a fresh Depends. He's got some 'splaining to do.
I like the way the reporter spins it:
"The division's fatigue appeared evident in the response to the president's remarks."
Of course the possibility that they didn't like what they heard doesn't seem to have entered into the reporter's head - their lack of enthusiasm is solely because of "fatigue". Right.
It is simple, BudMan. He will carry 98.7 of the military vote because they will be using Diebold machines. They wanted it to be 100% but they thought that might look suspicious...
