1. It is shocking, infuriating. But from Bush, about what you'd expect....
...

did you notice the response to an earlier column that appears below the piece you flagged?

here it is:

Gary Kolarski, of Richmond, Va., wrote: I got a pal over in the war. He says it ain’t like what you all make it out to be on Fox News. This ain’t a war we are winning; it’s one we are slowly losing. The general public needs to know this and it’s gonna be people like myself and other friends of our men over there that are gonna make the real story public. Fox news and the rest of you tabloids can stick to something you’re good at, like covering the Michael Jackson fiasco.


interesting, no?

2. yes, I was just going to post that!
"stick to what you're good at" -- that about sums it up as far as the state of cable news...

3. I wish I could sock this pile of crap in the face!
Just when you think this * piece of disgusting shit can't get anymore repulsive; he goes out and tops himself! Why doesn't he send a piece of plastic turkey to go along with his fake letter! I suppose the knitwit can't personally write letters b/c he CAN'T MAKE COMPLETE SENTACES!!! Ahhhhh! I'm OUTRAGED!! Dead soldiers and live ones too
are nothing but cannon fodder to him. Just more stray dogs to throw along the roadside next to those other mutts the Iraqi people and soldiers. I REALLY start to lose hope when even human life means absolutely nothing to pres*/govt!!!!!!!!

4. the disconnect is amazing
one of the letters at the bottom:

"I know there are still many Americans that do not believe in us being over here. Those same people are not here, and in my opinion they do not hold the right to open their pie hole. We are here trying to give the Iraqi people the same rights and freedom from oppression as they do back in the states."

so do we have the "same rights and freedom" or not, or is it only when we agree with you? if we have freedom, we should be able to open our pie holes. freedom = right to dissent. if we do not, then we are living under Saddam-like repression, right?

according to this guy, we want to give the Iraqis the right to shut their pie holes if they disagree with the US military.

i wish these people would take 5 seconds and actually think through what they are saying.

5. This form letter is just one more decorative turkey.
Like everything else Bush has done.



This phony photo should be included with every letter.
