Bush's impromptu visit with the departing soldiers came with some risk. It could remind the American public that more and more reservists and Guard members are being removed from their workplaces and sent on dangerous assignments in an increasingly bloody Iraq.

"Bush's impromptu visit with the departing soldiers came with some risk."
Doing the right thing often comes with risks. Following the polls and weighing the political costs may be a better way to campaign. Campaigning is not leading. Bush is a leader. Bush is a cowboy. Bush is an American.
Something this writer will probably never be, and something that Kerry will never be.
POTUS ping
Good for you Mr. President. Please send more bombs so we can save more warriors sir...
Amen....we are very fortunate
let's keep the man in the office !
John F. Kerry, we are told, stands "accused of demoralizing troops."
I would says that JFnKerry is actually, in fact, demoralizing our troops.
I know this from my personal conversations with troops and from my years of experience as a Chaplain....one of my duties being to advise the commander on many aspects of morale.
Specifically, Kerry tells them they are not really defending America...and that their sacrifices are a wasted effort, wasted time, and wasted lives.
The KKK (KorruptKerryKamp) has been demoralizing our troops for months.
Of course, Dana Milbank. This is one guy I hope gets caught by the pajama people.
I derive some satisfaction in that I KNOW he went up and down the aisles of that plane trying to find someone to bad-mouth the President and couldn't find one. I bet he hated that.
snakes may shed their skin but they are still snakes. ;-)
The CNN stuff I have seen onboard our ship programming hardly seems Pro-Bush to me, btw.
No Fox here either,, and strangely , I'm not suffering any withdrawals either. :-)
