FORT POLK, La. - President Bush (news - web sites) sought to buck up troop morale at a base that has supplied more than 10,000 soldiers to the war on terrorism — and lost a dozen in Iraq (news - web sites) — vowing Tuesday that "the enemy will be defeated."

"My resolve is the same as it was on the day when I walked in the rubble of the twin towers," Bush said, his voice breaking. "I will not relent until this threat to America is removed."

Bush spoke to a sea of thousands of rowdy troops here, who responded with hearty howls of "hoo-ah!" at his applause lines. "There is no doubt that the enemy will be defeated and freedom will prevail," he said.

Bush was to meet privately with the relatives of fallen soldiers, then have lunch with Guard members.


Most soldiers interviewed here declined to offer their opinions on the president's service.

One Army soldier, who declined to give his name, said that what mattered most was that Bush had served in the military.

1. His presence spits on their graves

using our children as photo ops. Bastard. He spits on us all by his presence. Military families around the country are vomitting. May he rot in hell for his lies.

2. He Didn't "Serve". He "hid" from combat flying obsolete planes.

let's get a "hoo-ah!" for hiding from having to actually put your life at risk in order to "serve"!!

HOO-AH!! To John Kerry, a true vet. Shot 3 fucking times and lived to serve his country for the remainder of his career (while prez. AWOL snorted coke, drove his girlfriend to an abortion clinic, and partied through his youth up to age 40).

3. i might add

"I will not relent until this threat to America is removed" (or until I'm voted out of office by an enraged citizenry who wants to see me in orange.

4. There he goes, pretending terrorists are finite in number.

Like life is a John Wayne movie.

5. tell us again, Mr Bush....

what is the connection between Iraq and the Twin Towers?

Aren't we safer now that Saddam is captured?

Where is the threat now? Aren't all the terrorists in Iraq now, where we want them? Specifically in Iraq to keep them away fron us?

Seems to me that by your own words, the threat IS removed...

27. Someone needs to call

him on the twin towers b.s. He's trying to put the fear in people again.

6. Email I just sent: Please join in question the motives of the media!

When are you going to report the truth?
Bush* only speaks before hand picked crowds or before the military who are required to support Bush* simply because he is the President NOT because they 'love' him which is the image the Bush* administration is trying to depict. When are you going to ask the Bush* administration why that is or do you even see a problem with it? You are party to misrepresenting how popular Bush* is which makes you complicit in lying to the American people. How much longer will you continue in this deceptive behavior?
Waiting for your response,
Jason Deter

24. You know what that gesture

means in Italian?

So who is he flipping off, someone in the crowd, the troops, or the whole world? I pick all three.

8. I can see it now...

"So, Colonel..."

"Private, Mr. President."

"Yes, yes... Now tell me, Captain, what's that shiny stick thing you're holding?"

"It's called a rifle, Mr. President."

"Neato!"

9. Gee, I didn't know the troops in La. had a morale problem...

I guess it's much more important than the morale problem of the troops in Iraq...

[central scrutinizer]

12. if they don't clap, they will soon have a morale problem

Bush will ship their asses off to Iraq.

[jus_the_facts]

13. I thought I was feelin' a shift in the force here in Louisiana today.....

.....because the dark lord was visitin'!! :evilfrown:

14. How? By Defecting to Cuba???

:-)

[revcarol]

15. Now the war in Iraq is once more a "war on terrorism."

Stupid journalistic ethics shouldn't stand in the way of parroting the administration line phrase by phrase.

17. Fort Polk, the troops were probably in a stooper

I spent my time in purgatory. When you go out into the field all you hear is Dueling Banjos. The only place where hunting and military manuvers happen at the same time. Nothing like running around in the woods in camo with armed hunters shooting at anything that moves.

19. Really?

I never ran into any Scouts who had been there but I knew of some who left Germany and were headed there. Jeez that could be quite uh problematic.

18. Better check the barn door. It seems that Prancer is on the loose again.

[grasswire]

20. look at these faces

Go look at the photos of the dead, Mr. Bush. Read how each one of them died. Each one.

Then tell us who's the madman.
