US President George W. Bush had a shoot-out with the "bad guys" in Iraq on Thursday, playing a computer game with war veterans that simulates a firefight in Baghdad, the White House said.

Bush tried his hand at the game with two soldiers during a visit to a rehabilitation center in Texas that treats veterans wounded in Iraq.

That is as close as any Bush will get to real combat.

What a loser...

Great President Dickhead! Now, do what you did the last time you had a slight taste of military service and go AWOL! Please.

He'll keep the psycharists busy for years. I feel so sorry for him. I just hope he skips on sharing any more of his internal distress and dysfuntion with the rest of the world.

You don't expect the Coward-In-Chief to do anything that would involve a REAL weapon do you? He won't even get on a real horse, so why is anyone surprised the Coward-In-Chief would play "war" video game?

this idiot must have bart simpson for a pr man

I can't even get my mind around a recuperating Iraq War Vet playing video games that reenact his or her own trauma in a game made for teenagers.

mental illness is spreading through the corridors of power like a computer virus

just last night the pbs (public bullshit) news program had two lunatics explaining why waterboarding is not torture

that old con if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth is a tired cliche

no one is listening

no one is buying

its just the power monopoly talking to themselves

while our anger keeps growing

like a revolution

Look at the bright side, he didn't go AWOL from video game.

Puke worthy at best.
He states that he understands the consequences of war "first hand".
Follow that up with a little role-playing and a video controller.
Is anybody else scared witless by this man?

Here's a video game I'd like to play:

We'll call it "Off With Their Heads!", wherein the tribunals of the French Revolution are superimposed on today's headlines.

You select your Robspiere (Hillary, Obama, "Dennis the Menice," Ron Paul, etc... ) and then you go out with your mob to round up the villians.

It could even be educational! You could link it up to the internet and have it somehow determine which stories from bloggs actually contradict constitutional law.

You select your favorite guillotine:

Then it's "Off With Their Heads!"

(Higher levels allow the option to start whacking the members of you own party.)

One day, George W. Bush will pass from this mortal realm and go to his reward in the great hereafter. His earthly remains will be laid to rest in some quiet, peaceful place.

I plan to pay a visit his grave...an­d vomit on it.
