Where is the commitment? (bush and cheney extended families have NO members in Iraq)
I received this via email today... don't know the author.



Yet, not one -- not one -- of any of Bush's children or his nieces and nephews have volunteered for service in any branch of the military or volunteered to serve in any capacity in Iraq. Not one of them has felt the cause was noble enough to put his or her life on the line.

If Iraq is such an "honorable" cause, how come not one -- not one -- of Bush's extended family has joined the military to fight there? Not one.

Same for Cheney's family.

Bush and Cheney were cowards who avoided service in Vietnam, sending other men to die for them. Now, they've made elitist craven "warmongering" a family affair.

They are frauds who send off the children of other American families to die in one of their many delusional "fiascos." And then they mistreat the wounded veterans, after not giving them sufficient protective gear to begin with.

It's the treason borne of men who personally lack the courage of their convictions.

It is like playing millionaire's poker with someone else's money and doubling down after a series of non-stop losses -- only this involves the children of Americans needlessly dying -- as well as the children of Iraqis.

This is a crime of cowards.

And there are grandparents and parents dying in Iraq too -- our reservist GIs -- so the Cheney girls aren't too old to serve, either, not to mention Jeb's children and the Bush twins.

Put your lives where your mouths are.

Remember, not one -- not one -- of the vast Bush dynasty members has served in Iraq, let alone even join the military during the "War on Terror." Not one.

talked about the "underprivileged" people displaced to Texas by Hurricane Katrina, using the word "scary" to describe the influx of temporary refugees and saying that the Houston Astrodome was working out "well" for them. She earlier said she didn't want to bother her "beautiful mind" with images of the carnage in the Iraq War started by her SOB spawn.

These vile, sub-human scum have no sense except a sense of entitlement and consider themselves America's Royalty. They would be no more likely to send their kids off to join the military than they would to send them off to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Those jobs are for the servants.
