I also was not a George W. Bush supporter, either as Governor or President (indeed, nor as minority owner of the Texas Rangers).
However, I have always viewed him as a decent man. His surprising returning troops by greeting them is really no surprise to me. I will also always recall with sentimental memory his inspiring words when he addressed the nation after the 9-11 terrorists attacks, as well as other reasons.
I like to look for the good in all people. Rare is the person that is a total monster. As Harper Lee stated at the beginning of her book, "Lawyers were children once, too" (or such; I am recalling from memory).
Bush has never shown respect for our troops. From the Iraq war lie in which 4000 died and tens of thousands more crippled to their treatment at Walter Reed medical center to the treatment of iraq war vets after they returned home to the lack of proper equipment during the war, Bush always had an excuse. He's a liar and a coward.

"Mission accomplished" = Lie
arriving on a jet = PR stunt
serving dinner "surprise" = PR stunt.
Bush doesn't give a damn about human life or the troops. If he did, him and darth cheney never would have sent them into iraq. Obama has done the most patriotic thing of this war, getting our heroes out of iraq where they never should have been in the first place, and getting them out of afghanistan as well next year to where they belong,.........Home.
Through 2008, 4221 Americans died in Bush's little war of choice in Iraq. I'm sure the families of the dead all appreciate the chimp very much. After all, doesn't everybody want to die needlessly?
I AM one of those families and the man did care about and have respect for the troops. That is a FACT. Don't use "the families" line if you are NOT one of the families. You have NO idea how we feel.
A little confused are ya? Just WHO do you think made the final go/no go decision after Congress approved funding? What part of Commander in Chief are you having difficulty with?
LMAO!!! That is funny almost like saying I give my kid who has no job money to buy drugs but it is not my fault at all because he is the one that actually talked to the dealer.
