George Bush needs to find some courage, before we loose this thing. I am getting more and more disgusted with him each and every day.

You don't have a blanking clue what you are talking about. GWB is a da*n fine CINC for every warrior out there. He stands firmly behind our military and understands our goal is victory. Plain and simple.

He cannot micromanage the bureaucracy that thrives within the military (and it most certainly does). He can't wish it away.....

That these Marines are being charged as they are is foolishness and wrong. But they have not been convicted of anything.....There is no action for the President to take right now....except to let the process play out....while staying focused on the bigger picture of the larger WOT (which he is doing everyday).

I full heartedly support these Marines and find their prosecution and disgrace. I hope each are acquitted on all charges.

But lets face some realities here. What we have accomplished in the past 4 1/2 years in this WOT is historically amazing. Since Sept 11th, our enemies have suffered one strategic defeat after another.....we have not suffered one (unless some could argue the 06 election were a self-inflicted one)......but as CINC GWB had done a tremendous job.....under unbelievable pressures and attacks from within our own country.

President Bush, as good hearted as he is, has abandoned our troops to the MSM and the Political Correct Warfare gang. He has not used his office (the "bully pulpit") to wage any kind of counterattack against the media, in five years time. He does not publically nor effectively stand up for our troops ("Halp Me, Jon Cary..."), and has done nothing about the ROE or prosecutions of our soldiers.

Wouldn't it be nice to see him publically declare that service to our country is a noble calling, and that he calls upon all Americans of good faith to enlist in service to our country?

Quite frankly, I have no idea what the man spends his time on. 40 hours a week for photo ops, tea parties...WTF.

Amen to your required corrective speach. This Freeper really needs to learn a little more about how things work and what has been accomplished over the past five years plus.

Wish that excuse had worked whenever the IG was in town.

True, but he should find time to fix the ROE. He is the boss.

"He cannot micromanage the bureaucracy that thrives within the military (and it most certainly does). He can't wish it away....."

As I remember, an officer can be asked to resign his commission. Bush would be well advised to do this to a substantial number of JAGs ASAP, starting with the top of the JAG administration and simply RIFF at least 50%.

After all, he is a Pubbie and supposedly wants to see a smaller number of people working (if one may use the term loosely) for government.

Bulls**t. Bush is the President of the United States and the Commander in Chief. He could make some phone calls and this would go away quite quickly.

I think the Border Agents, Scooter Libby, and the Haditha Marines are getting royally screwed because Bush basically "checked out" about a year and a half ago.
