'I'm So Sorry'

In emotional private meetings with the families of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush offers solace—and seeks some of his own.

Aug. 22, 2005 issue - The grieving room was arranged like a doctor's office. The families and loved ones of 33 soldiers killed in Iraq or Afghanistan were summoned to a large waiting area at Fort Bragg, N.C. For three hours, they were rotated through five private rooms, where they met with President George W. Bush, accompanied by two Secret Service men and a photographer. Because the walls were thin, the families awaiting their turn could hear the crying inside.

6. He would not have had to meet with any families and loved ones

if he hadn't lied his ass off to start a war. Notice how they bring out these stories after bush** has shown himself to the uncaring unfeeling jerk to begin with. Funny thing is I remember this and bush was talking about his visit. He was saying that the soldiers at Ft Bragg were concerned about gas prices and wanted to know what he was going to do about it. :eyes: You betcha, sure thing, I can totally believe those soldiers were worried about the price of gasoline and NOT about being sent to Iraq where they might possibly get their butts shot off.
