Yes, I'm just as much to blame, for responding. But I'm not the one
volunteering out of the blue to post PR propoganda. I'm just pointing out
that it's PR propoganda.

Trust me, if he had DRIVEN into Iraq, I wouldn't have posted my comment
here.

Now you can't believe that he doesn't care about the political boost?
Improving moral was just a small part.

Dude, GW could have stayed at his ranch in Texas, and no one would have said
a thing. Flying into Iraq took big balls (however you spell it in
Spanish!), no matter how you cut it.

And I really don't think he gives a rat's ass about what ANYONE thinks about
his motives for going there -- which is one reason I happen to like the guy.
I may not agree with his politics, but it really is quite refreshing to have
a President who is more than just a poll-taker.

Possibly, but that still doesn't explain why you bothered to post your
comment at all. The fact that he flew to Iraq doesn't make it any more
on-topic.

I thought Clinton on Omaha Beach took the cake for chutzpah?

If your not jewish and don't know the word, just look it up.

IMHO, it is better to have them in Iraq than in the US.

But they won't stay. Before Bush's Folly, Saddam had our real enemies,
the radical Islamists, under his thumb. He hated them and the feeling
was mutual. Now, Iraq is a wide-open recruitment and operations
wonderland for terrorists, awash with weapons for their use. We are
immeasurably less secure than we were before Bush and his full-moon
gazing, true-believer, neocon advisors launched this stupid war.

And the Thanksgiving trip?...a shrewd electioneering stunt. If Bush is
master of anything, it is the photo opp.

never mind the stuff his entourage "liberated" from the Navy
ships they used during the visit.

this might sound like nitpicking, but there was no such thing. (If that
happened then there must be a release of all POW); he declared the end of
major combats (on his PR-tour on the carrier).

Oh, for sure Clinton was a master of the photo opp, too.

Both of those draft dodgers, Bush and Clinton, have an awful lot of
chutzpah to strike military poses.

Ummm...Bush the F-102 pilot was a draft dodger? My cousin, the "Air National
Guard F-100 pilot that did a tour of Vietnam" would pop you for that. (And
don't bother with the bogus crap, several times debunked, about his going
AWOL.)

It's nice to see the thumb uppers out number the thumb downers.
