FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -

President Bush on Sunday braced the country for the possibility of more American casualties in Iraq while saying the U.S.-led mission is just. "What we're doing in Iraq is right," Bush said after attending an Easter service at a chapel on this sprawling base.

"Today, on bended knee, I thank the good Lord" for protecting U.S. troops, Bush said before heading to a military hospital to meet with wounded soldiers who have returned recently from Iraq.

In fighting across Iraq over the past week, almost 50 American soldiers and more than 550 Iraqis have been killed. At least 649 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.

Bush said it was "hard to tell" whether Americans should expect to see more of the kind of deadly weeks that the military just sustained. But, he said, "We're plenty tough."

* looks like a**hole is going to keep our forces in armed combat for quite a while....."We're plenty tough.........I don't see him or the bush clan on the front lines....

1. Is condi his companion and nurse. Psycho

people need companions so that they don't hurt them selves. He does need a caretaker.

[calimary]

23. She probably cuts his meat for him. Laura's been doing it so long

she must have needed a break.

[cureautismnow]

2. "We're" Plenty Tough...

I hope he doesn't include himself in the "we're." The coward declined to settle SH's challenge man to man. Thousands of innocent people's blood is on his hands because he is a girly-man who sends real women to fight for him.

[frank frankly]

3. he is such a fucking moron

truly an idiot and a scumbag and a coward

[leesa]

7. Get off your macho trip. Many women have more courage in a fingernail

than men do. Real courage involves things like NOT fighting.

[0007]

11. You got that one right

The majority rules, but not in junior's case. He has no quarrel with no one but himself. The thing is he can't figure it out and neither can Condi.

God dropped the ball on 649 of them then, you superstitious piece of smirking chimp shit.

[oneighty]

6. It is so confusing

God is.

8. Bush is plenty tough

to fight a war while on vacation. It's good to know that he suffered and bled right along with the troops while he spent the week fishing. God I hate Bush. I just absolutely, totally, completely, unrelentingly, with great fury and righteous anger DESPISE THAT PIECE OF SHIT!

[Ravy]

9. Everything * does is right.

Ultra far-reaching 1950's style conservative right.

[Fovea]

25. Remember the Barry Goldwater slogan

"In your heart, you know he's right"

And the response.

Yeah, Far Right.

Same deal, only worse.

[lumpy]

10. Bush: We're plenty tough".

As my dear old Mother-in-Law used to say "take that turd out of your pocket, George".

[dawn]

12. WTF?

On "bended knee", he is praying for the soldiers he sent over there to die. But no prayers for the innocent civilians he will be killing.

"We're plenty tough"??! Hey Bush*! Why don't you get off your bended knee and go to a funeral of one of our fallen soldiers? Or better yet, if you are so tough, why don't you, monkeyboy, go over there and join in the fray.

[BattyDem]

13. "What We're Doing in Iraq Is Right"

This message brought to you by the Halliburton Corporation

14. I wish, while knee bended, God would throw a few lightning bolts at his

cowardly, punk ass! :mad:

[dai]

15. Has Bush's language been getting more religious...

...or is this just an Easter thing?

He's starting to sound (even more) like Osama.

[ozymandius]

16. Bush: "Antlers sprouting from my feet are GOOD."

"Today, on bended knee, I thank the good Lord" for protecting U.S. troops, Bush said before heading to a military hospital to meet with wounded soldiers who have returned recently from Iraq.

I wonder what kind of a welcome he received.

[leQ]

17. "I thank God for their lives,"

pretty much sums it up doesn't it.

[Chicago Democrat]

18. Wrong Answer - (Be Seated) boom!

[qanda]

19. What's with this "we" stuff

I heard Bush* on TV saying that "we" had a rough week-- Huh? I guess fishing can be kind of rough, relaxing and enjoying life can be rough on spoiled brats.

[Chimpchips]

20. "A Wonderful Life"

Ain't it though ?

Better be 'cause it is the ONLY one.

ChimpChips {ahhh the good life}

[zaj]

21. He's right... as long as he is speaking in the present tense.

Because the past is ugly.

[myomy]

22. "Plenty tough"..isn't this like "bring um on"?

.

[ConcernedCanuk]

24. So Bush goes against the Pope too

.
.
.

Not really surprised.

Junior wasn't called the "Texacutioner" for nothing!

26. Oh, for a little separation of church and state

This stuff gives me the creeps. Quite sincerely. The head of the executive branch in his religious photo-op, thanking his god for protecting his army. Creepy, just creepy.

If there is a god, I imagine he has his fingers in his ears: "lalalala, I'm not listening!"
