1. Were is AWOL going to be this weekend?

Probably "recreating prudently" at Camp David -- to help him get ready for his month-long 2003 vacation at the Pig Farm, where he can goof off again, just the way he did after receiving all the warnings of terrorist attacks prior to 9/11.

2. Why am I not surprised?

He's probably afraid he'll get beat up.

[deek]

3. remember his quote?

about how HE was the one who gets to declare war because HE was the one who had to hug all the widows/widowers?

[arcane1]

4. this one

I was just about to start a thread with this :-)


"There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like." —Washington, D.C., Dec. 11, 2002

how does he know what it's like??

12. The most dishonest politician of the age.

There is not a day that goes by that doesn't make me ashamed that this man is the President of this good and decent nation.

13. how would he know yeah

He hasnt seen the fires of war. Also Shrub have you ever thought that some of those representives meet privately with the famlies of the dead. You dont know what war is Shrub I dont either but its not the fairy tale you think it is I wonder Shrub I have read you like Saving Private Ryan how on earth did that make you a hawk you wanna land on Omaha Beach buddy I dont know about you well I would enlist and if I had to I would and perhaps die but seeing Omaha Beach in a fictional tale and a video game has made me a committed dove.

5. does anyone

6. the thought of W showing up, weeping crocodile tears ...

... as he poses for the cameras (and I've seen plenty of examples where his eyes are spying around for the best angle) ....

Haven't the families been through enough?

[mlawson]

10. Exactly. They don't need HIM there!

What could he do??? PRETEND he has human emotions and compassion?? READ some patriotic bullshit speech his handlers prepped for him??

No, he doesn't need to be at the funerals. He needs to visit the troops in Iraq!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

11. no he needs to be a trooper in Iraq

let him do a patrol I bet he wets himself I would do then again I dont promote war because I felt an impulse to wag the dog because I managed the economy like a slob and didnt serve in a war I supported.

[wellstone_democrat]

14. Yeah, that's my thinking too: keep him away

His only interest would be in "using" the funeral for PR purposes.

[bpilgrim]

7. wow

very powerful :toast:

peace

[nostamj]

8. it will NEVER happen

he would be heckled by the mourners.

I would love for a 'journalist' to use that quote and ask: Mr. President, how many widows and mothers have you hugged so far?

[JohnKleeb]

9. If he did this I would still hate the bastard for starting the war

but would increase in class/.........................about 1% then would go down because he would do something stupid again.

[Avalon Sparks]

15. Well~

He could at least fly over the buriel like he did over Iraq and wave.

G.W.Bush* and his administration are a bunch of mofo's.
