Do you think the rank and file are going to feel like dubya sold them out? Or is the feeling gonna be--those idiots at Abu Ghraib had to go down for this??
This campaign has been tough as nails so far. Every time Bush/Cheney mention Kerry's lousy voting record, the media helps Kerry by bringing the debate back to Vietnam. This whole thing has been a darn headache so far.
The rank and file turned these prison guards in. Besides, there is no doubt the rank and file are tickled pink to have Bush for CIC and would hate having Kerry, who called them ALL war criminals.
