Bush promotes war, candidate in Missouri

Just the very idea of a president "promoting" war sickens me, but that is exactly what Bush is doing.

Here's the link to the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060629/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush;_ylt=AuU7RiXpupuFFfoLuHvouP.s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3OXIzMDMzBHNlYwM3MDM-

And here's an oldie but goodie:

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office, in foreign-policy matters, with war on my mind."
-GWB 2/8/2004 on Meet The Press

1. What kind of war is it when you have to keep reminding folks it exists?

2. "We're winning," Bush said.

......Bush tried to boost the Iraqi mission in brief remarks to the media at the end of his private meeting at the VFW hall. He said the troops are spreading democracy and peace and that even though he understands their work is hard, it is necessary.

"We're winning," Bush said. "And the world is going to be better off because of your courageous service, and I thank you for it."

The faithful gave Bush a long and boisterous standing ovation, and one man in the crowd shouted, "Four more years!" Bush laughed at the suggestion of more than two terms — not allowed under the Constitution — and quickly responded, "No more wife."

Bush's visit to Missouri also included a special meeting with Andrew Benecke, an 18-year-old whose academic achievements earned him the honor of being named a Presidential Scholar this year. But Benecke's treatments for bone cancer meant he couldn't come to the White House for a special ceremony Monday for all the winners.

Instead, Bush presented the St. Louis teenager with his medal under the wing of Air Force One, as his beaming parents looked on.
