11. He had to hurry up and round up some military members
that actually think this war is a good idea. He is going to veto it anyway. Showdown time.

13. Sorry, but I gotta say it:
Bush is a whore....and I totally resent him pimping what he wants by using military families in the background.

They have sacrificed enough without being used by this POS to try and slam a guilt trip on those who are more than DONE with his lies and the harm he has done to our nation, our troops, their loved ones and families and the Iraqis.

So most sincerely, I say to George Bush: Peddle your wares elsewhere ~~ I am NOT buying your faux tears and concerns, you lying POS.

wounded vets so the fans won't boo him?

21. Let's hope and pray that our illustrious Democratic Representatives
maintain their courage.

This WAR must end. If we LOVE our troops and the average Iraqi Citizen's wellbeing, we'll END this Occupation by next Summer.

I thought it was the Alito Nomination which proved crisis, but that was peanuts. The stand our Representatives take NOW is for all the marbles, i.e., the viability of our democratic republic.

23. I wonder how long it took them to select his backdrop of people?
Talk about theatrics.

Even if they have the funds available, I would bet they won't be able to find them to pay the troops--active or reserve--or their families....or the vet hospitals, or the retirees....or....

They are going to be ornery.

32. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past this admin...
If they could show video of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech on the USS Lincoln and black out the "Mission Accomplished" banner, they could do anything.

33. I thought it was illegal
for the military to appear in uniform in support of a political agenda. Anyone know the law on this?
