2. Who wouldn't be?
Send soldiers to be killed, and then joke about the reason? He is so dumb it's beyond words.

6. So true, but not much worse
than calling the invasion of Afghanistan and WOT a crusade.

3. What's wrong with poking a little fun at 592 deaths.
After all, if this president thing doesn't work, he can always fall back on his second calling. A comedienne.

4. I wrote to CNN
about it and took the survey and let them know that showing it is an obscenity and they should be fined.

5. Little Matty has a little more up now
The Following was issued by the Kerry For President campaign this evening:

How Out of Touch Can This President Be?

"George Bush insulted me as a veteran and as a friend to many still serving in Iraq. This act lowers the dialogue about weapons of mass destruction. War is the single most serious event that a President or government can carry its people into. No weapons of mass destruction have been found and that is no joke - this is for real. This cheapens the sacrifice that American soldiers and their families are dealing with every single day." -- Brad Owens (Iraqi War Veteran, US Army Reserves)

Speaking at the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington last night, President George W. Bush showed a stunningly cavalier attitude toward the failed search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the Administration's rush to war.

"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere," Bush mimicked, as a slide of the President looking under furniture in the Oval Office appeared on the screen.

That's supposed to be funny?

If George Bush thinks his deceptive rationale for going to war is a laughing matter, then he's even more out of touch than we thought. Unfortunately for the President, this is not a joke.

585 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq in the last year, 3,354 have been wounded, and there's no end in sight. Bush Turned White House Credibility into a Joke George Bush sold us on going to war with Iraq based on the threat of weapons of mass destruction. But we still haven't found them, and now he thinks that's funny?

George Bush didn't tell us the truth about the economy, about job loss, about the true cost of his deceptive prescription drug plan, or about the existence of weapons of mass destruction. There's nothing funny about that.

8. If the Dems dont jump on this Ill be mad as hell
this is the ultimate outrage.
I am already mad, and my husband looks like hes having a stroke hes so mad. Im seriously worried about his health.
Having a kid on the ground over there is killing us with worry and then Bush and his wealthy friends think its funny.
I have never hated people so much in my whole life as these cruel, horrible people.

11. Exactly...

I cannot understand why this is not a big news yet!!
Let's see.. If Clinton joke about his Monica thing, how would all rethug react? And in Clintons case, it was only a personal matter.

I really cannot understand this outragous double standard.
I just saw returned solders without limbs yesterday on ABC news. They were actually talking about this returned solder's difficulty in finding a job...

Anyway
Make an Add.
For example

Show clips from Iraq battle fields, hospital beds and graves
Show his now infamous footage with the line 'Where is my wmd?"

And end the commercial like. 'He is our commander in chief and my son died for him'

Something like that.

Democrats need better marketing/ad people. I just cannot believe that he think he can get away with this.

I am very very angry. Well, with all repubs, my feeling is actually beyond anger. I am actually very angry with DNC and all other Democrats. What are they waiting!! We need major media attention.
Media have these footage. Get them!!

12. ...and so am I
It is mind boggling how Bush actually joked about WMD.

How insenstive and out of touch can a man possibly be?

I just saw the images from the show where you featured a segment of our injured soldiers with missing limbs and broken bone and jaws last night. Evidently this pathetic individual, our president, the one who can't even account where he was in vietnam is only in touch with his reelection aspirations and nothing else.

It's a sad day when a country can even consider putting this man back in office. It will be NOTHING to be proud of should it happen.
