How can President Bush II/Congress go on vacation with troops in Iraq

[rusk2003]

147,000 in Iraq and 2300 soon more in Liberia. SOUNDS SO SLEEZY did he foreget he is also their Comander In Cheif.

Even more so with all of the bloodshead and troops dieing everyday what must that do for their moral.

And you would think Congress would try to act more responsible when the Presdient is goofying off in Teaxs. But what else would we think with a Congress full of Freepers.

I don't see Prime Minister Blair takeing a vacation after dragging his country off to war.

1. Simple answer...

...they don't care. Especially Bush. He (and everyone one in his administration) doesn't give a rat's ass about the troops. You think he could forgo his month long vacation this one time while we're at war and soldiers are dying. But of course not. Him and his cronies have to get together and decide how else to screw the world over for the benefit.

2. He hates the military....

They're just financial leverage to him.

Could it be that he feels guilty about his AWOL days?

nah......

3. CEO Mentality

One of today's DU Articles does a good job of describing it:

Bush Eats Barbecue... Soldiers Starve
