U.S. obviously didn't do all it could to protect troops

December 17, 2004

President Bush said, "As I have told many families I met with, we're doing everything we possibly can to protect your loved ones in a mission that is vital and important." In fact, until Wilson's question, we obviously were not.


That brings us to the final headline: "At Bush Inauguration, Lunch Will Set You Back $250,000." This is a lunch with Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, obviously exclusive to the high tax brackets.

The arithmetic is too tempting. It costs $25,000 to fully armor a Humvee. Each $250,000 lunch ticket could go straight to equipping 10 vehicles, so our reservists and Guards in Iraq won't have to ride around with homemade sandbags on the floor.


Do it, Mr. Bush. Donate your lunch money to the troops.

You could give him a real bloody nose with these numbers and a PR campaign.

3. of course, the troops wouldn't need the protection . . .

if we hadn't invaded Iraq in the first place . . . THAT was the BIG mistake . . . but now that they're there, I think Bush donating his obscene inaugural proceeds is a damn good idea . . . not holding my breath, however . . .
