1. Compassionate commanders....stay and die for Jesus Christ

...and the good of Americas largest military/industrial corporations. I wonder, do these troops know about the indifference the Bush Administration and top security department heads have toward their families who fell victim to Katrina nd the delays of rescue and aid?

no one else was looking out for them.

4. They were sent home!

I saw it on NBC tonight.

5. only see 1 story on Google....

and it sounds like they were "planning" to send them home... perhaps they've changed their minds? Why would Drudge, of all people, post a blaring headline that makes the administration look like hardhearted ghouls if it isn't true?

7. I'll yield to that...

good enuf for me.... but I'm wondering what Drudge thinks he's got.

8. Drudge is another Fudge for Bush

Who cares what Drudge thinks he's got. He needs a spanking.

[flowomo]

11. yeah, yeah.... but this story hurts Bush, obviously.....

so I care what Drudge is saying here because the freepers will be alarmed

[Mr_Spock]

15. I wouldn't never EVER trust Fudge to actually hurt Bush

I am with those who think it's a setup.

That guy loves Bush like Gannon does...

13. Could be a Rovian setup. Let ems go nuclear then expose them as...

...silly uninformed fools. Tada.
