BETHESDA, Md. - President Bush began Memorial Day weekend on Friday at the bedside of wounded U.S. troops, handing out Purple Hearts to recognize valiant service.

Bush visited with troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, their families and the medical staff at the National Naval Medical Center just outside Washington. The president was making his seventh visit to the medical center before flying aboard Marine One helicopter to Camp David, Md., where he planned to spend part of the weekend.

On Monday, Bush will mark his sixth Memorial Day as a wartime president with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. He is to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns to honor those who have died in past and current battles

1. So much to be proud of.
Bush is not a Christian. He's satanic. Death and destruction are not Christian values. The Christians should smack his ass down for saying he is one of them.

4. Wartime President?
Except to say that the US is NOT at war with anyone
Only Congress can declare war, and they have not.

So he is NOT a wartime President..................

5. He is an Illegal Invasion and Mass Murder President.

We have not declared war on anyone, nor has anyone declared it on us (let alone as aggressors).

There has never been an investigation of 9/11 that proved even that al-Qaeda was involved.

Bush is the Capo di Capi Tutti in the Grand Theft of Iraq.
