merry christmas mr bush and family. it must be nice to be all safe and sound in camp david while the troops you telephone are far away from their familes ,probably in harms way.

imho our elected leaders should have to sacrifice more of their time and actually WORK some during the holidays to make up for the safety and security they are provided with daily by the armed forces they command. or alternatively, they could go to iraq ,afghanistan or where ever there are us troops stationed ,even bases in the usa, and do troop support and morale boosting work . i dont understand how any president could think just a phone call to 10 service men was really significant or benevolent in any way, other than perhaps one more contrived press opportunity?

i think it would be more helpful to actually talk to someone in person ,and shake their hand ,etc etc . thats a much more reassuring feeling when you are lonely and unsure, and probably scared. i dont think mr bush and his advisors really understand how it feels to be in a foreign land ,especially during the holidays, where the majority of the locals most sincere christmas wish is to to cut you and your colleagues up into little pieces and feed you to their dogs.

I hope the LIAR-IN-Chief has a miserable Christmas just like the poor soldiers he has sent to Iraq....When are his two little darlings going to go??

Blackwater Bush

Another example of: ALL HAT - NO CATTLE
all P.R. - no Plan

Why didn't he tell it like it is? "Thank you for fighting over there so I can get richer and Americans can waste as much gas as they want by driving their gas-guzzling SUVs as fast as they want!".

When we dredge the dry well what's left? THE WORST PRESIDENT IN U.S. History...all of this garbage does not cover up the fact that this "President" has no problem talking to people who are dying because he lied.

Was Bush Jr calling them from his limo, jet, or yacht?

Read "The Bu$h Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time" by Antonia Juhasz. It is a sickeningly accurate look in the mirror for Americans who have the stomach for it. "They" don't hate us for our freedom. They hate us for our foreign policy, and believe me; we will all pay for it in the end. Educate yourselves, take action, and help stop the madness before it is too late.

Here's what he told them:
"Hey guys, thanks for letting me grind your faces into the dirt and put you through 5 consecutive deployments. You're doing a great job, because you have no choice but to do what I tell you.
I hope you're having a great Christmas, if you're still alive. Stay away from those IED's and bullets and have a Merry Christmas in your lonely platoon outpost with MRE rations of fake turkey dinners.

I support you guys in my PR,but actually I do nothing for you unless it is politically advantageous to me as President." Great job fellas! Keep up the good work because you're not going anywhere, anytime soon.

Me , Dick and Exxon really appreciate your work. Were raking in Billions.

Bush, you and everyone on the hill deserve nothing less than a few days of waterboarding, then 36 mos "in country". May God be with you then as you beg for mercy, because while you are all cudly in your camp, may your soul be damned for the pain and death you and your cronies have brought onto this once great nation,

Sorry guys and gals. You're spending your 4th Christmas in Iraq. The plan is to keep you there indefinitely even though the violence seems to have near ended. I'm paying the Iraqis lots of money not to fight you. We're trying to get them all jobs so they don't pick up AK-47s and blast each other or you all. It's tough tho - since most of the jobs are in China. That dang Walmart! Anyway - have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and don't roll over any IEDs.

I recall that when I was in the military only certian soldiers were chosen (as I was one of them)to speak to the press and various officials. Even though the chosen troops were ones that always reflected well upon the service, we were still prompted as to what was to be discussed and how to answer.

Dollar to a Donut... I bet only good reports will come from any conversations between the President and any Troops.

Big deal. I'm sure he made sure they were die hard republican war Bush supporters. Gag!!!
