Bush says U.S. must honor war dead

ARLINGTON, Va. - President Bush, delivering a Memorial Day message surrounded by the graves of thousands of military dead, said Monday that the United States must continue fighting the war on terror in the name of those have already given their life in the cause.

"The best way to pay respect is to value why a sacrifice was made," Bush said, quoting from a letter that Lt. Mark Dooley wrote to his parents before being killed last September in the Iraqi city of Ramadi.

Noting that some 270 fighting men and women of the nearly 2,500 who have fallen since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Bush said, "We have seen the costs in the war on terror that we fight today."

"I am in awe of the men and women who sacrifice for the freedom of the United States of America," the president declared, drawing a long standing ovation from the troops, families of the fallen and others gathered at the cemetery's 5,000-seat white marble amphitheater.

Okay, here's the funny part:

1: He has yet to go to any funerals for fallen soldiers.
2: He refuses to allow people to take pictures of the caskets coming home.
3: The caskets are brought home in the dead of night.
4: His "Honor War Dead" platitude was a jab at us who are against HIS war.
5: Someone needs to ask why he isn't sacrificing for this war, like his daughters and Pierce Bush!!!
6: If you concentrated on Osama Bin Laden, maybe we would have him in custody, you wastrel!


Please, someone stop me from spewing at this drivel! I can't take it anymore!!!

9. If Bush lays a wreath for the unknown soldier, does he get to meet

with the soldier's unknown relatives? Maybe they will make their grief unknown to him, so he will not understand how he's destroyed their unknown lives.

8. A sacrifice was made because you sent them to war based on false intel.

It is the reason you will burn in Hell one day! Bush speaking about sacrifice, enough to make one :puke:

10. Going to Iraq was not fighting against the terrorist,

you imbecile. Pulling troops out of Afghanistan was not fighting the terrorists. It was making more terrorist. I can't believe the families of the fallen cannot understand this.

As Atrios said " The willingness to send others off to die for a misguided war because you wet your pants after 9/11 is called cowardice, not courage."

11. Bush is telling ME to honor the war dead? This man has NO shame!

This story was the first thing I saw when I turned on my computer today. It was there, along with the picture of Bush laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. I cannot tell you how enraged I was when I saw that, when I read that story line. But then, I probably don't have to tell most of the people here.

George Bush is a cowardly piece of shit. How DARE he tell anyone to honor the war dead? HOW DARE HE!!!! He doesn't know the first thing about honor. He doesn't give a damn about the war dead, the wounded. He doesn't give a damn about the families and friends of the dead and the wounded. HE. DOES. NOT. CARE. And yet this low-life piece of shit DARES to use these very people for his photo-ops, and to further justify his murderous ways.

Fuck you, George W. Bush!! Fuck you. There are not enough words to describe the utter contempt I have for you.
