Hey, did'ja know W has written personal letters to every family of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq?

"People say, 'Why would you do that?'" the president said in an Oval Office interview with The Washington Times on Friday. "And the answer is: This is my duty. The president is commander in chief, but the president is often comforter in chief, as well. It is my duty to be — to try to comfort as best as I humanly can a loved one who is in anguish."

Mr. Bush, for instance, has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars, an enormous personal effort that consumed hours of his time and escaped public notice. The task, along with meeting family members of troops killed in action, has been so wrenching — balancing the anger, grief and pride of families coping with the loss symbolized by a flag-draped coffin — that the president often leaned on his wife, Laura, for emotional support.

1. I know a mother who burned her letter

but it wasn't handwritten(the mother told me this)...only the signature...and I'd wager he didn't sign it himself

8. Did it start with, "Dear So Who are We Honorin' Here?"

He first got there, he walked in and said, "So who are were honoring here?" He didn't even know Casey's name, he didn't, nobody could have whispered to him, "Mr. President, this is the Sheehan family, their son Casey was killed in Iraq." We thought that was pretty disrespectful to not even know Casey's name, and to walk in and say, "So who are we honorin' here?" Like, "Let's get on with it, let's get somebody honored here."

13. Dumbya is truly an asshole...

but even assholes like him can have feelings.

I would imagine - somewhere in his tiny brain - is buried some sense of guilt for all those people he killed.

If that's true, I hope he lives a long life.... complete with the nightmares and suicidal thoughts that will curse the lives of the soldiers and Marines he sent on his "mission".
