1. Did he bring them a plastic Easter bunny?
"...Bush, wearing an Army flight jacket, visited soldiers in Kentucky on Thursday to mark the anniversary of the Iraq war...."

2. Letterman last night showed Kerry in his military uniform and
compared him with Bush at that time in his cheerleading outfit.

priceless.

3. I'm suprised he didn't have a parade
He could have stood in the back of a convertible in his "uniform" and fired a rifle into the air. Lined up a bunch of tanks and marched entire brigades the street behind him. We "citizens" could have followed carrying huge portraits of Bush on sticks. What a day! Woohoo!

4. Is this the attack ad
that JK saying he voted for the Bill before voting against it? If it is, it really pissed me off! The add implies JK voted against body armor, well the Bill passed anyway and we never got any body armor. I was in Iraq and the supplies just weren't coming in. There are still soldiers there who don't have these vests. The ad is totally deceiving and a flat out lie. I hope this backfires on Bush when the other returning soldiers, like myself see this.:mad:

Great to have a returning vet here. Please share with us whatever you can about what's going on over there. We care about our soldiers very much. Several of us have loved ones there.

13. Greetings ToiletBush!
Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 12:00 PM by factroid
There are many of us that are angry about the treatment of the ground troops (and helicopter pilots that were not given simple anti-missile defense). I've followed this issue mostly through:

Glad you made it back!! We've got to pull out ASAP!

see: www.kucinich.us

The U.N. can take over, and bring in Muslim peace-keepers.

We don't need to be there; don't you agree?

( help flush the Brush: :hurts: )

14. You can't be suggesting that Bush* would be trying to "Mislead" America
:shrug: Every single thing they say and do is a lie and designed to mislead. 25% of Americans are unable to recognize this Fact. It is a pretty miserable commentary on America.

7. Congrats! We've hit the trifecta
Bush tried calling Kerry a filthy rich New England elitist, but that didn't work because he's a filthy rich New England elitist, too. Bush tried calling Kerry a flip-flopper, but that didn't work because he's an even bigger one. And thanks to Richard Clarke and the 9/11 hearings, Bush won't be able to call Kerry soft on defense, because now he looks like a coward (AWOL), a lying co-conspirator (Iraq), or a complete incompetent (9/11). In other words, Bush has nothing left to run on! LET THE BLOWBACK BEGIN!

9. Credability Chasm?
You've got to ask your self,Is this the act of a commander in chief in control? Or is it the desperate act of a lying little weasel?
