Washington, DC (Rotters) - After an exhaustive search of over 200,000 troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other overseas locations the Pentagon was able to locate a handful of servicemen and women who were willing to talk with the president and receive his Christmas greetings to them. The president spoke in a conference call via phone from Camp David, Maryland, dressed as Santa to mark the occasion. The following are highlights of his inspirational messages to the troops:
dood abides :: Bush Sends Christmas Greetings to Troops by Phone
President: "Merry Christmas everybody! What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas? Heh, heh... how's your morale?"

PFC Elwood Jones (USMC, Anbar province, Iraq): "Who is this? This is a joke, right... this isn't funny, you guys... I'm supposed to be off duty tonight..."

SPC Kelly Harwood (USA reserves, Green Zone, Baghdad): "Me? I just want to come home for Christmas..."

President: "Heh, heh... lots of times children want things that are unrealistic or not really good for them... it's Santa's job to sort of decide for them what's best... I just want to thank you all for the outstanding job you're doing for your country. I know it's a tough call, but the American people sent me a pretty clear mandate in November that we should stay in Iraq and Afghanistan until the job's done, and pretty soon we'll be sending you some fresh meat... heh, heh... a few more boots on the ground to help out."

LT Daniel Levitan (USArmy Special Forces, Kandahar, Afghanistan): "I just want a surge protector..."

PFC Alvin Seville (USMC, Camp Liberty, Baghdad): "Morales?!? How's Morales?!? Morales bought it yesterday, you sick f***!.... They had us patrolling in those stupid Santa outfits... that white trim is an easy target in the middle of the night... who's bright f****** idea was that? Morales was going home next month and now he's gone..."

President: "Morale is important... it's a good thing... it makes you feel good.  It's sort of like armor... it protects you... ya'll need to know that you're going to get the best morale that money can buy..."

1. What bush could give this country.

Since the day he was old enough to walk and talk, George W. Bush has taken and never given back anything. His legacy as president is the worst any president has ever had.

What bush can do to prove he is a "man" and deserving to be a president, is apologize to this country for leading us into an endless war. He can apologize to the parents and families of those killed in this horrific war. By admitting he was wrong he can do the first selfless thing he has ever done in his life and help save his legacy by letting the world see he does admit and would want to change his mistakes by bringing the troops home.
