Hansen is one of 58 members of the U.S. military from Wisconsin killed in Iraq since the war was launched in March 2003. At least 2,595 members of the U.S. military have died in the war, according to an Associated Press count.

Karlson, a retired school food services manager, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Bush greeted her with a "great big bear hug," gave her a presidential coin, signed a scrapbook she has about her son and constantly held her hand during the meeting that lasted at least 20 minutes.

"He said, 'I just love the military. There's just something about military families.' And he thanked us for raising the type of child we did. That's part of what he wrote in the scrapbook," Karlson told the newspaper.

[Tom Joad]

2. Sounds like he is having fun.

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Love like his I can do without, thanks

[ixion]

4. he's got quite the little death fetish

I think it's probably one of the few ways he's able to get aroused.

6. He signed his name in a dead man's scrapbook. What a sick bastard.

9. Yet, when he had an opportunity to serve honorably

he chose a different path. The path known as AWOL. Or better termed desertion

[paparush]

10. Bush Death Cult - Of course he LOVES the military.. vicariously

not being IN the military..oh heavens no..the food sucks, the clothes are dopey, you're supposed to follow orders, oh and some poor brown man might shoot me.

[WI_DEM]

11. yeah, he proved his love when he went awol in '72

[BOSSHOG]

12. Its just those nasty DRUG TESTS THAT HE HATES

[gratuitous]

13. Bush loves everybody

Everybody who can be commanded to cheer for him at the risk of property, liberty or life. What little tinpot dictator doesn't love the forced adoration of the masses?

14. "I just love the military" Says the wolf to the sheep.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. What is he, a freakin' rock star? And a presidential coin for her

son's life. :wow: She thinks he a wonderful man because he granted her a private meeting? :banghead: Did he attend her son's funeral? Other Presidents have attended funerals of fallen soldiers, yet ** has never attended even one! She thinks he's a wonderful man? :puke:

16. Making a comedy video looking for WMD in your office.

That was just Bush showing how much he loves the military.

Oh - and the VA cuts too.

[Strawman]

17. How would he manipulate people into supporting him without them?

I'll bet he "loves" them. They've been absolutely instrumental to his political survival. Once you convince the talking heads that criticism of him = disrespect of them, you're going to get alot of support that you wouldn't otherwise get.

19. "I" just love the military...not the Nation mourns with you

It has always been about pleasing him. He apparently feels these soldiers have all sacrificed their lives for him, and it pleases him greatly.
