Seriously, one video shows the troops obviously standing at attention, and all the wingnuts take that to mean that they don't like their President. Pretty serious indications of wingnut brain damage, if you ask me.
Made a mistake by going into Iraq, YES. Weak, NO.

This is the way I see it:
- I will never be afraid to criticize the Commander-in-Chief for making a bad decision.
- I will never criticize a soldier for following orders
- I will strongly criticize a soldier that doesn't follow the orders of his superiors, because that is their duty. An army is worthless when soldiers don't follow their superior's orders.

[quote=Katiana;7686978] The video was obviously cut and spliced to make him look bad. The article is from that renowned news source, FOX.QUOTE]

If you don't watch FOX to get the only truefull news, you aren't allowed to make a comment, because you have no facts. Your post proves it..!
Cut and spliced... you should try comedy...

Weak, YES. Lied to start a war. Unnecessarily weakened the military and the country. Bad CIC. Killing toddlers doesn't make him strong.

That may be sign of being stupid, but not being weak.

Sorry, a CinC cannot be both stupid and strong. Strength requires intelligence.

OMGz didn't Bush cut veteran benefits, like, 2 years ago?

Of course, this statement doesn't fit into your preconceived notion of how the world works so it must not be true. But seriously, he did.
