Why are all you libbies getting your blood in a flood. The burned troop is alive and if you can't take a joke from the President of our country you are indeed socialist commies.

SUZANNE VEGA LYRICS
"The Queen & The Soldier"
The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.
He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."
etc., etc. (edited for space)
Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on
She speaks for me:
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece
of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door
Insanity every floor
Skyscraping, paper chasing
What are we working for?
Empty traditions
Reaching social positions
Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?
When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief
The standard is Thief
Brethren can we candidly speak?
Woe to the men
Trusted in the chariots dem'
Leaning on horses
They run their intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them
Internally they absent of light
trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night
Under the curse
Evil men waxing more worse
Faxing the first
Angelic being cast to the earth
It's time for rebirth
Burnin up the branch and the root
The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit
Turning me ill
Let him who stole, no longer steal
Oh it's real
Surrender for Jehovah is real
How long will you sleep
Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep
The idols YOU heap
Causing the destruction you reap
Judgment has come
Find it and return to the One
Abandon the flesh
Self-interest: Broadway to death
Pride and the Greed
Hide and subdividing the seed
The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie
Caused us to die
Let your emotions be crucified
Renounce all your thoughts
Repent and let your mind be re-taught
You'll find what you sought...w
A perception of naught
Where the majority remains caught

This idiot is responsible for those injuries he's witnessing! He knowingly lied to justify his hijacking of our Constitution and took us on this misadventure; how can he go to these places and face these soldiers? To add insult to injury, he has repeatedly and callously failed to adequately provide the materiel that would protect the troops despite the trillions that Congress has given him. He has repeatedly and callously failed to provide for the welfare of the wounded when they return by underfunding the VA, and most recently vetoing a bill that included provisions for the increase of just 3 months for the job protection of those that care for a wounded vet. Oh, the rehab center that he was visiting -- it was funded by private sources, because his government really doesn't believe these soldiers have any value save the backdrop for his smirky political ploys.
AWOL Bush ......beca
because his Pappy could buy the Office for him.
George has been a disgrace his entire life. Pappy
elevated his son's criminality and hurt our Nation.
DOWN WITH THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY!
Happy Veteran's Day!
Ha ha ha.
Stupid US pirates.
Ha ha.
USSA #1!!!
Ha ha.
Has Bush yet shead a tear?
For the dead of 9/11?
For his war dead?
He always looks like does pill for pill of Oxy with Rush.
Jesus God what a loser.
Bush. His face.
The same look as he blew up frogs or seered the asses of frat brothers.
A total sociopath.
This is absolutely ghoulish, obscene, and disgusting. No, not the images of these poor injured vets who suffered these casualites while fighting for oil and corporate profits, but Bush actually enjoying himself in the company of these men. I really think this psychopath enjoys seeing the results of his dastardly, criminal enterprise in the name of "democracy". DISGUSTING!!!
I don't think it enters his bubble brain that he's responsible for all the injuries he's looking at. He thinks it's natural that the "little people", the serfs, should be his i.e.d. fodder. He can still use what's left of them for photo-ops. How out of touch is he really? Here's what he said at the Cornyn fundraiser, his last appearance of the day:
From mysananton
"Some day people are going to look back at this time and day and say, 'Thank God there was a generation that did not lose faith ... because the Middle East is a place free of suiciders.
"You can't make profound decisions for America unless you are certain in your soul," said Bush, who made his fourth trip to San Antonio since 2001. "The decisions I have made will make it easier for your grandchildren to live in peace."
... "The center is a testament to the country's deep belief that someone who is injured in battle deserves all the help they can get."...
Describing the war as a battle between "light and dark," Bush said, "If you kill people to achieve a political objective or to advance an ideology ... you are nothing but evil. The only way they can convince people to kill the innocent is if they find hopelessness and despair."
Bush watched Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Bradford, 20, of Winchester, Ky., climb a two-story wall as part of a rehab exercise.
Bradford, who lost both legs and one eye and was blinded in the other as the result of a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq, pulled himself up the climbing wall with only his arms, guided from below by fellow soldiers who cheered and yelled out directions to him.
Bush leaned over to Bradford's mother, Debbie Bradford, and said: "He's a good man, isn't he?"

Either there's something wrong with his mental health, or nothing is wrong with anyone's, and the whole concept of insanity is rendered moot.
World War I, the war to end all wars. It was during that time that the great pandemic spread world wide. At home, with the government's blind focus on the war, common sense faltered, and our soldiers were transported, crowed together as they were gathered from all corners of the nation to go over seas. The flu spread like wild fire, killing quickly and virtually shutting down cities.
So it is today, that matters that are of vital importance to the security of our nation are overlooked.
Thank you for the poem, Black Widow Spider.
This man speaks for me:
Dulce Et Decorum Est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.
GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
-Wilfred Owen

These photographs are nothing less than heartbreaking. These young men and women, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters to us all have stepped forward, putting their lives on the line to serve their country. Furthermore, their sense of duty and honor have been tragically highjakced.
Let's hope they can all come home soon, come home to a country they recognize.
MRS. McGRATH
"Oh, Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said
"Would you like to make a soldier out of your son Ted. With a scarlett coat and a big cocked hat.Oh, Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"
Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the sea shore
For the space of seven long years or more
She spied a ship coming into the bay
"Here's my son Teddy, wisha clear the way"
"Oh captain dear, where have you been
Or have you been sailing on the Meditereen
Have you any tidings of my son Ted
Is the poor boy living or is he dead?"
Then up came Ted without any legs
And in their place, he had two wooden pegs
She kissed him a dozen times or two
"Holy Moses, it isn't you"
"Now were you drunk or were you blind
When you left your two fine legs behind
Or was it walking upon the say
Wore your two fine legs from the knees away?"
"No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
A big cannon ball on the fifth of May
Tore my two fine legs from the knees away"
"Oh, Teddy my boy," the widow cried
"Your two fine legs were your mammy's pride
Stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all
Why didn't you run from the big cannon ball?"
"All foreign wars I do proclaim
Between Don John and the King of Spain
I'd rather have my Teddy as he used to be
Than the King of France and his whole navy"
Recently we had a travelling exhibition in various German cities with pictures of wounded Iraq veterans, pictures they don't show on the television. I am surprised that some of you never seem to have seen these photos in the USA.
Anybody who has a little bit of what is considered human left inside is moved and touched by these poor people suffering.
To see your decider shamelessly grinning in the face of a wounded veteran holding a t-shirt is beyond belief. Every other single day he stays in office is a shame for all of you, no matter if you live in the USA or abroad.
