Bush Meets With "Friendly" Military Bloggers

Washington Post:

On Friday, President Bush "sat down for a round-table interview" with military bloggers and talked about the war in Iraq. As the Washington Post notes, the blogs at the meeting were "generally pro-Bush and pro-military, and the ensuing reports were highly sympathetic to the president":

Matthew Burden, a former Army officer who blogs under the name Blackfive, raved about how Bush slapped his hand and called him "brutha."

Bungling Bush should have had been man enough to have sat down or teleconferenced with the seven active duty soldiers who wrote their truthful, soul rendering account of the Iraq PACIFICATION.

PLEASE STOP GIVING THIS ABJECT FAILURE OF A PRESIDENCY WITH HIS BOOT LICKING PARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL ROBOTS, COLUMNISTS, AND SMEAR BLACKLISTING CORPORATE EXECUTIVES A POWER HE NO LONGER HAS

BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT, THE DECIDER, DECLARED THE WAR WAS OVER ABOARD THE NAVAL SHIP AS HE PLAYED PILOT FOR A DAY LANDING ABOARD A SHIP WITH UNEARNED FLIGHT GEAR THAT SHOULD HAVE REDEEEMED DUKAKIS PHOTO MOMENT IN A TANK!!!

America, the Congress, the media MUST STOP CALLING Iraq a War RENDERING the president with INVINCIBLE POWERS HE INVOKED TO TRANSFORM our nation to one under an undeclared marshal law replete with state fusion cells to track with local police his detractors, and deny every civil liberty declared in the Constitution as well as ignore the Constitutional boundaries, constraints and inherent powers of Congress and the Judicial Branch.

America's MIRED in a PACIFICATION QUICKSAND indebting our nation where Louisiana is a neglected SUPERFUND SITE WITH KATRINA SURVIVORS GIVEN ASBESTOS LADEN MOBILE TRAILERS.

THE NEWS REPORTED TWO OF THOSE BRAVE SOLDIERS, WHO RISKED THEIR MILITARY CAREERS SOMETHING THAT NO ONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT EVIDENTLY IS WILLING TO DO INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT, PROVED THE POINT THEY MADE IN THEIR OP-ED DESPITE THE DERISION FROM OPPORTUNISTIC HACKS.

THESE BRAVE TWO STATESMEN OF OUR TIME DEPICTED VALOR MISSING FROM AMERICA, DIED THIS WEEK IN AN ABJECT FAILED PACIFICATION.

GENERAL PACE'S COMMENTS COME IRRESPONSIBLY LATE FOR THESE SOLDIERS IMBUEING DEDICATION TO DUTY AND SERVICE FOR AMERICA THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO RUIN THEIR MILITARY CAREERS SOMETHING A MILY MOUTHED CHIEF JOINT OF STAFF, DESPITE RECEIVING MILITARY WAR COLLEGE TRAINING HE RECEIVED FOR NAUGHT, A QUALIFIED PUSH OVER BUSHITE TRUMPING ALLEGIANCE, WAS TOO COWARDLY TO DO.

CHALLENGE THE PRESIDENT TO MEET THE REMAINING FIVE AUTHORS OF WHAT IS THE MOST FAMOUS ACCOUNTING BY ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIERS IN AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC REGARDING THIS ADMINSTRATION'S FAILED POLICIES OF THE CORRECT TERM, PACIFICATION!

Baby Bush, who always cried like a baby when he f*cked up, which was very often, lives in a fantasy world, a world in which daddy and his wealthy elites friends, always bail Jr. out his his jams.

What can one say here. The familys have a huge investment.
Bush's investments will pay off either way. He walks away a live no matter what.
While their kids risk their lives daily for his decisions.
Beware the drumbeaters! They could be lieing.

I am a disabled Vet. No way I can't stress over it.
Wheather you volunteered or not it is my responsibility, as it is yours, to question power.
Those who will not question power are doomed to slavery.

Please read you own post, Sir. Did you ASSUME I was abusing my FREEDOM OF SPEECH or did you ASSUME I was abusing some freedom you gave me that I had not earned myself.
I suggest that you have never paid close attention to the spelling of the word ASSUME.
Assume = ASS U ME. So never assume.
Your comment (FOOLS & COWARDS = slaves) should have read, "I ASSUME ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BELIVE AS I DO IS A FOOL AND A COWARD SO THEY ARE MY SLAVE! ". But that would be me ASS U ME ing that I undewrstood your meaning. Right.
