Speeches by President Bush in recent weeks before military audiences about the Iraq war debate have raised questions about partisan issues being brought up in front of U.S. Armed Forces.

Sorry, but I don't see speeches in support of the Military as "Partisan Issues."

If expressing support for our troops and their mission is considered "Partisan" by the Dims, they are much further gone than I realized. Maybe the Dims could start showing some support for our troops? Nah, we know better.

I think the issue becomes a problem when he mentions the democrats by name, points out flaws in their philosophy etc...and the audience is all military. Then it is a political speech and the miliatry isn't in the business of politics. If Clinton did this in front of the troops, called out the Republicans over some issue...we would have crucified him.
