I think Bush's comment about the kind of family --that sacrefices their
loved ones for the war on terrorism (Irag)--was very daming. I do not have the quote but just listened to a clip of this speech for today.
He read a letter from a family who had lost someone to the war--then Bush described them as patriotic and said these are the kind of families that will help win the war.\

It is very implicit what the other types of families are--those who are protesting or have been vocal about not approving of the war.
I was taken back back by these comments--he was so forceful and anyone listening knew he was opposing one type against the other (non-patriotic--read Cindy followers).

serve at all.

6. Suggestion....
let's all write the media(s) and Chimpie and ask the vital question:
Why aren't his daughters enlisted and fighting the war in Iraq which he truly believes is a noble cause? Why isn't he sacrificing them? Do it now!!
