President Bush surprises the troops | Facebook

Hot Air » Photos: Bush surprises returning troops at Dallas airport

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.

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.

I guess that bunch of Dem Senators who called Petraeus, General Betrayus were right. Today Fox showed him getting off a plane and the speaker saying that Petraeus had said that getting out of Iraq depended on the situation on the ground. It appears that Obama will have to back down if he can't manage to change things in Iraq. Those troops aren't coming home right away but Obama can blame Bush for sending them in the first place.

Did Obama send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan to work on a Surge? I believe he did.

Okay, but Bush and Cheney weren't the only ones who thought the war was necessary: all your favorites were right on board, to include the Clintons, Reid, Pelosi and probably many more. Congress does the dirty work.

*** When did we get out of Iraq?
