Bush's Trip

Oldsoldier!!!

How are things amigo?

Listen, the kid just doesn't get it. He hates and therefore he's blind. It's sad that he' already abandoned any level of objectivity at age 15, but he's got all the time in the world to get it back.

P8ntball, it was a good thing. And there's a reason he didn't just wander around a combat zone in his armored limo. For one, not everybody packs armored limos in the carry on luggage But frankly he's simply not allowed to take that risk. The secret service would shoot him themselves to save time! He did a big thing by going to the combat zone and seeing his troops. For security reason he really couldn't stay longer, which is too bad, I'm sure other troops would have wanted to see him too.

Um...was did clinton do for the troops? A raise? Ah, nope. Hm..send us into harms way for no reason? Yup. And, it was absoltuely DISGRACEFUL to have Hilary address the troops on Thanksgiving. You know she passed a white house POLICY FORBIDDING the wearing of the military uniform while in thew wihite house? How is THAT for "troop support"?

Some argue that Bush sent troops in for no reason.

I think it's good that he went there. Obviously gave some of the troops a much needed morale boost. I doubt, however, that it was nearly as hazardous as the media has made it out to be.

But, when you grow up maybe you'll understand then.


I agree his understanding is in direct proportion to his youth

They're wrong. Now, people may not agree with the reasons, but they do exist.

It was just like when Clinton basically decided to use our military as a means to spread "peace". Conservatives generally did not like the idea of sending our men and women to war for any reason that was not a national security concern for us. It's easy to argue that sending troops into Kosovo was the right thing to do morally, but their argument was that simply being correct morally wasn't enough, and there had to be national security concerns. It wasn't that Clinton didn't have a reason, it was that we didn't like the one he had.

Before we say it isn't hazardeous I want to remind everyone that there are attacks in Baghdad almost every day now. The insurgents have fired anti air missiles at our planes (although to my knowledge they haven't scored a hit yet) and they have been bombing folks left and right. It was very dangereous and to say otherwise is dishonest.

Now, it wasn't as dangereous for him as it is the average soldier, he is guarded and protected by our very best, however, that doesn't mean there wasn't danger, or even that it was minimal. He would have been much safer at his ranch in Texas (playing paintball with Clare)

You're 15, your still VERY impressionable. You opinions will develope over time and some of the things you hold to be holy write now in 10 years you'll wonder what you were thinking. Even if you remain blindly liberal you'll still see things differently. ?

All right, pardon me, I'm an idiot. I was thinking that Clinton : Desert Storm. Cut me some slack, I'm sick.

I'm not at all saying that it wasn't dangerous. I just don't believe it was as danagerous as they made it out to be.
