Im sorry, but you cant fake this. You cant fake George W. Bush's view and respect for our military. With Barry, it has the feel of a publicity stunt for photo ops. You dont get that realness feeling to it.

While I disagree with some of Bush's ideology and actions, he earned a lot of respect from me for his love for the military servicemen.

God bless George W. Bush and I have to give it to him for letting Barry do his thing and not getting involved. A president has enough fire coming from all directions usually that they dont need an ex-prez to chime in. Though Barry has only recently really started to get much heat from the media but thats a different story.

George and his wife have been very classy. I think they are wrong on some things politically, but they are classy.
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?

How are things out there in left field? All by yourself, you say!!! Yes, it is a bit lonesome out there by yourself. No Fly balls, just lots of nuts.

And numbers from 2009 through 2010 ? And how many visits did Obama have with the troops ?

He seems to spend more time in DC firing his Generals that disagree with him.

They should have been brought home 1/21/2009 if you were to ask my opinion. Why this is dragging out is beyond me. We didn't win, we won't win and we are beyond saving face.

And let's all remember, especially the liberals, that the President does not have the authority to order a war. It has to be voted on and approved by Congress and that includes your democrat cronies.

Obama has nothing but contempt and arrogance towards the people and the troops too.

Yeah, it was all this big lie that Bush came up with and some how persuaded Congress to vote for war.

No one is saying there wasnt faulty intelligence, but to come up with this baseless "lie" nonsense is ridiculous. Out of all of those who HATED Bush, all the media that HATED Bush, if there was evidence of this "lie" itd be out there and he'd face charges. There was no lie.

Like I said Congress voted for this. Many on both sides of the aisle thought war was the right thing to do at the time, based on the evidence THEY saw.

The continuing bs of these "lie" conspiracy theories, and putting every thing at the foot of one man when evidence clearly shows not only was the war not his sole doing but the state of the economy was not solely his fault either, is cowardly and ignorant.

But why is it I have a feeling you and others will still spew this baseless, false, garbage?

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?

Well, you're right about that. You need to keep reading on that "faulty intelligence" business, though.
