Some tear up for the camera, some tear up in spite of the camera. Our guy is the latter. Tears of determination to see a job through. Trust me, those tears should strike fear into the hearts of our enemies.

"He said we wouldn't quit, and we told him we didn't want to quit until the job was done," Emmett MacKenzie said.

"We want to continue, and we're behind him 100 percent."


Question: When will you ever see this Quote in the National Media?


Answer....Never.

Jesus was not president. His Kingdom is not of this world.

Jesus wept, and Our president can weep too. His tears are real. unlike Clintons fake tears for Murdered crony Ron Brown.

Do you think Hillary could work up a tear for any Troops?
Perhaps You prefer her cold Heart in the Whitehouse?

Moderates like you make me weap.

Nothing wrong with W. crying. You are wrong and entitled to your opinion. And in this case that opinion is worth very little.

Thank you President Bush for your determination and resolve.

Thank you for reminding us of what this thread is really about.

I may get shouted down for saying this, but I don't like these stories about the president crying. The family does not help him by sharing this intimate detail. It may or may not be unpresidential to cry in these circumstances. But it is unpresidential to be known by the American people, and our enemies, to have cried over one dead man.

I'd be much more concerned about a person who was emotionally unmoved by such an event.

That is (IMNSHO) ridiculous

this President has been criticized for uncaring that 2000+ good men and women have died and then criticized that he feels sorrow, at least his sorrow is genuine and not like Pres. Clinton at Ron Brown's funeral laughing and then wiping away tears as soon as he saw the camera. I believe that his sorrow shows how seriously he takes the decision that he and congress made. This shows a real Man, not an Oprah audience member.

Crying is an infectious thing. If a room full of crying people does not move you to tears, you simply have no heart. Period.

The President does not cry over "one dead man." He cries over "every dead military one."

but the Iraq war needed to be prosecuted more vigorously at certain points, still probably does. Bush also needs to speak about it more, and more vigorously.

WHY? What must he explain that he hasn't already? And, isn't two years explanation enought? AND, besides, we are at war. People need to get over it. Our government can declare war whether we agree or not!

You couldn't be more wrong.

The American people like a man who is man enough to grieve, as long as he is doing the right thing. President Bush is that kind of man!!

Well, you still haven't said why it's OK for Jesus to cry, but not a President. You've said twice now that they are different and something about sauces. OK. Bush is not Christ. Got it. If Bush were weeping on national TV that would be one thing. Shedding a tear with the family of a dead soldier is something else. Would it make you feel better if it was reported "Bush has met with hundreds of devastated mothers and fathers of dead soldiers and never once did he shed a tear or show any emotion."? That to me, would be disturbing.

Shame on you.

You obviously suffer from a cold, cold heart. You are to be pitied.

Perhaps that 100+ degree heat in Arizona has fried your brain.

With people like you living there, I am so glad I moved from Arizona.........

John 11:35 "Jesus wept". this was over the death of Lazarus. Look at the glass half full instead of half empty. Chalk it up to compassion, not weakness.
