Bush, on social problems resulting in his ill-advised preemptive invasion of Iraq: Bring 'em on!

1. How Sad to be over there in Iraq and get word that

your Children and Wife are no longer among the living!

Very Strange!

2. Paternity leave has not been granted to deployed soldiers

whose wives are giving birth, nor has it been granted to those w/dying parents or guardians.

I'm assuming that if your entire family dies, that leave is justified, but I'm not sure.

3. Yes, I would imagine that this Soldier ..under the circumstances

is on his way Stateside! :-(
