WTH is he thinking?

President Bush spoke of his dream to work on the frontline in Afghanistan during a video conference with US military and civilian personnel in the war-torn country.

"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said.

"If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.

"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," President Bush said.

Too bad he didn't have such romantic feelings toward the Viet Nam war.

And then, there was this

War is just a game to some. They lose touch with the reality that hundreds and hundreds of people die because of their game ("fantastic experience").
Bush does not have a brain to think with.

Help me.

If it were up to me, I would grant his wish and help his "dream" to come true and send him straight to the front lines. I have always wanted to grant someone their dreams.

Bush is an idiot.

Maybe he can fly over in January. I'll gladly chip in for his ticket.

Great, I am taking up a collection. I will put you down for a donation. Dreams like his should be lived and I would love to "thank" him for all his "hard" work over the last 8 years.

Bush has served in the military he's a veteran fighter pilot so he knows these things. Can you say the same about Obama Hussein or Hillary??

Me too -- I'm fairly stingy with my money but what a worthwhile cause!!

Haven't thought of the pretzel story in a long time.

I think that is one of the most idiotic things a president can say, especially when he did everything in his power NOT to serve.

I feel like that was kind of a slap in the face to American military families and America for him to make that comment. Total disrespect. I wonder how many people would trade places with him to get out of that situation and become president and be able to see thier spouse and children on safer soil.
