Troops Demoralized by Bush Turkeygate Scandal

(2003-12-04) -- American military morale hit an all-time low this week in the wake of revelations that President George Bush didn't serve a display turkey to hungry troops during his surprise visit to Baghdad last week. Political experts have already dubbed the episode 'turkeygate', and predict that the effect of this latest Bush administration scandal will be even more devastating than the outing of Valerie Plame.

"When I went home after dinner that night, I wrote a letter to my wife about how proud I was to fight for liberty," said an unnamed Army staff sergeant, "but when I learned that not a single soldier ate the display turkey, even though the president was photographed holding it, my faith in democracy was shattered."

Another soldier added, "We suddenly realized that we're risking our lives to defend a lie. He mocked us with the pretty bird, then served us the common steamtable turkey. What good is freedom, if you can't trust your leaders?"

I'd say its time to call for Congressional Investigations. Who knew about the Turkey, and why was it moved away from the dining hall under the cover of darkness? Why did the White House lie about a British turkey seeing the showcase turkey before it was placed stealthly among the serving trays? We need to find answers to these questions and more so we can bring up impeachment hearings.

This may be a satire but the DUmmies at DU really believe that Bush wasn't there and this was a staged act. Can you believe thier stupidity?

I understand that all of this was done in secret too.

Sounds very sinister to me.
