1. He really is stupid if he thinks everyone will come back alive and

in one piece.

2. He spouts the truth.

Bush didn't send people off to specifically die.

It was those damn libruls who wouldn't give our men the equipment they needed to keep from getting killed!!

</sarcasm>

3. Yep, just like how the Oxycontin pills jumped into his mouth

Rush is technically correct, Bush sends No ONE off to Die. He sent 908 off to die.

[skypilot]

4. Sure.

No one goes off to die. That way Bush doesn't have to be "...the one who gets to hug the widows..." Yeah, they're all doing just fine over there.

5. Chimp just sends them off

Whether they die or not isn't his concern.

7. And we have a winner~

Perfect rebuttal.

6. Then why are they over there dying?

I heard that brainfart for the first time from a caller on Laura Schlesinger's show (I heard it in the drugstore while shopping Tuesday night). A caller said just that: "The President hasn't sent anyone to die." The caller's reasoning: the troops aren't being "sent", because they are all volunteers.

8. volunteers and military

I signed up for the Military, volunteered as they put it.
But I did this 20years ago, to defend America
Not invade other countries

11. And thank you for that. Hope you talk to young 'uns you see

and make sure that if they are thinking of signing up, they know what they are getting themselves into.

15. But bush found that all his reasons for going into Iraq were wrong

so why hasn't he made a decision to get out of there yet?

18. War is an outdated concept at best

one would think with all the advancements in our culture we would have reached this insight by now.

War accomplishes nothing.

[frylock]

21. the armchair quarterbacks have been right since before the opening kickoff

yet WE are the ones who are vilified for being unAmerikan. And we are the ones responsible for the deaths of our troops by encouraging the insurgency because we refuse to pick up our nationalistic pom-pons. FUCK THAT!!! :mad:

[CO Liberal]

23. If He Hadn't Gone to War In Iraq....

...over 900 American men and women would still be alive today.

Fact. Not bullshit.

[fishface]

16. Does he think they're vacationing over there?

bwhahaha

19. Well, why did he not serve?

There are similar stories about almost every other prominent rightwing Republican of recent vintage. Newt Gingrich, ex-Speaker of the House, went the Cheney route ; Kenneth Starr, Clinton's legal nemesis, had psoriasis; Jack Kemp, Dole's running mate in 1996, was unfit because of a knee injury, though he heroically continued as a National Football League quarterback for another eight years; Pat Buchanan had arthritis in his knees, though he soon became an avid jogger.

The best story concerns Rush Limbaugh, the ferociously bellicose radio personality, who allegedly had either "anal cysts" or an "ingrown hair follicle on his bottom". It is not my custom to mock others' ailments, but anyone who has listened to Limbaugh's programme can imagine the dripping scorn he would bring to the revelation that a prominent Democrat had skipped a war over something like that. Also, in his case, a pain in the arse is peculiarly appropriate.

20. Unfortunately, I have almost 1,000 rebuttals to that asinine statement.

But then again, what should we expect from someone who dodged service because he had a boil on his ass.

22. And he never took drugs.

He bought them.
