so why ISN'T the ape in Iraq serving fake turkey to the troops this year?

[mopaul]

he made such a big deal about it before, why vacation in crawdad, texas i wonder? and then he has cindy and the dirty hippy protesters to interrupt his hiding.

unhappy thanksgivings all around george, thanks.

1. Haven't you heard? It's hunting season in Iraq! And he doesn't

own any blaze orange.

[mopaul]

3. no big parades with giant balloons of saddam and osama?

no victory parade? damn, aren't we owed at least that?

[Kolesar]

2. Price of oil drove up the price of rubber turkeys

Gotta save money in the budget for another tax cut. Happy Thanksgiving.

[punpirate]

4. Uh, that was...

... before the 2004 election. Now, it's after.

Bush only does politics, haven't you heard? :shrug:

[EFerrari]

5. Why oh why doesn't Monkey Man want to call attention

to his war pResidency?

I feel betrayed. :shrug:

Cheer up, mopaul. By this time next year, we'll be pouring gravy all over this blunt tool.

:toast:

6. Because he's cooking his entire party over here this year.

[marmar]

7. Too busy hiding from protesting moms in Crawford...

plus, post-election, the troops don't have the same PR value as before. And we know he gives less than a damn about them.

[shenmue]

8. They figured out they're supposed to get real food

Plastic didn't taste too good last time, apparently.

9. He's not up for reelection, doesn't need the cheap photo-op.

Besides, there are plenty of disasters right here at home if he does need any photo-ops.

[mailman82]

10. Because he doesn't give a S**t!!

My son is over there. His email to me said he agreed with Col. Murtha they have done their job,done what they set out to do. And
they all should be home.

[Ilsa]

11. Because he's a chicken-shit-hawk. Always was, always will be. eom

[madrchsod]

12. even jesus had to rest!

he flew down to south america and then he had to fly over to china. dam give the guy a break...it`s hard work and he`s plum tuckerd out!

[NV Whino]

13. He had to get a Botox refresh.

[LibDemAlways]

14. He's resting up from all of the travel he's undertaken

to escape his unpopularity here at home. Only problem, of course, is that the rest of the world hates him, too. His pig farm has, in the past, been a retreat. No more. Not even a fake turkey could save his sorry ass now.

[ucmike]

15. it was safer then. too dangerous now.

mission accomplished.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. In one word: COWARD.
