Have Cheney, George Bush or Rumsfeld attended any soldier's funeral?

[shance]

Am curious to know if they have decided to attend a service for any of our dead young men and women who served in Iraq or in Afghanistan?

So far, it appears that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush (or Rice) have not attended one single funeral.

The next question is why?

I write this as the news comes out that Halliburton just received another 30 million dollar contract to build another prison and security fence in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

1. No, the excuse is that you attend one and you have to attend them all

laura and george "hug" them all in their thoughts of course!
And all that mourning is "hard work".......now watch this drive!

2. Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush should be attending every one of them.

I have never heard of a more superficial, classist-laced excuse.

If that is their reasoning, what has this country come to.

3. Shit, it took a public embarrassment to get dumbsfeld to actually

sign the death notice letters instead of them using a rubber stamp. Those bastards are pure American corporate - they don't get their hands dirty, except to count paper money.

4. they just use them in campaigns

5. They celebrate the deaths

It means we are rooting "them" out, or some such.
It wouldn't look good to see these maggots smirking at our countrymen and women's funerals.
