This one was the "deal-killer" for me. I am simply numb with rage that I have lived to see, for the second time in my life, my country's so-called "leaders" place our wonderful military personnel in harm's way on the other side of the world, and then cynically and brutally sell them out and stab them in the back.
Much ado has been made over the past several years about President Bush's "compassion" for our military families, and how much time he has devoted to meeting with them and comforting them.
I'm sad to say that I've begun to wonder if those gestures have been due more to the twinges of a guilty conscience than to any true compassion...
On the other hand, I may have closed my checkbook when it became evident that Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush was happy to put the scumbag ACLU lawyers of JAG in charge of the war in Iraq. Way to be, Bush. How many Marines will die because they hesitated to pull their triggers just long enough to review their “battlefield ethics” and their thirteen “rules of engagement” out of fear of ending up in prison
Prosecuting the soldiers has been a hideous part of this war. Bush needs to resign. I think he’s nuts.
