Way to go President Bush!!!

[blacksheepdiesel]

That was an awesome thing to do! Flying right into Saddam's former airport! Ha!!! I'll bet that gave Saddam & Osama (IF they are still breathing) a feeling of having a towel head towel shoved up their ... . !!!



Great morale booster for the troops too!!!



I knew this guy wears BIG cowboy boots!

Yes ... good for morale boster

My favorite part is listening to all the America hating anti-Bush media whine about the trip all night and this morning



Anytime the media complains about something Bush did or whines about his actions ... I know he did something right.

the man does know how to back up his words. i my opinion, we are luky to have him. he may not be the best ever, but he is the best for out times.

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

Hooo Raaaaah !

I thought that was way cool how the General (or whoever it was) lead into it and then Bush comes out from behind the curtain



"I just showed up looking for a warm meal somewhere"



I like the way he hung out with them for a few hours afterwards and he stood behind the food line and helped serve. The paper said he served about 600. That's something I'd remember for the rest of my life. . . having President Bush serve me a helping of mashed potatos or turkey!



I think this shows how much his heart is with the troops. It really turns me off when I hear people accusing him of making this war a political issue, it wasn't justified and we're recklessly putting our troops at risk, etc. when he really does care about them on a personal level and certainly wants more than anyone to bring them home as soon as possible.

I love the thought of Saddam watching Bush walk on Iraqi soil snuck in right under your nose you boy! Oh boo hoo to all those whiners:{ , they're just peed off cuz they "didn't" know what the ole prez was doing... ... ... ... . GO DUBYA!

 

[JTBMC]

Yea Baby,

The Prez has some big Kahuna's, Did Kommrade Klinton or Egore ever show any support for the troops while they were in Somillia or Bosina or anywhere.

Yea CNN is whining away calling this a political ploy, what a bunch of jenny women some of the men in this country have become

Speaking of Klintons, I saw a short blurb in the paper that Hillary went to Afghanistan to spend Thanksgiving with troops there. Not sure what she was trying to accomplish but her story was totally trumped by Bush's visit to Iraq



I just heard on ABC that this was news in France and most places around the world and most were giving Bush high marks for his move.

Way To Go Prez!

 

[DHayden]

Can't believe there's already people out there who give him no credit. They are saying he did it soley for re-election points . What is this world comming too?

 

[Champane Flight]

Oh Boy!

Oh goody, goody! Wow, low and behold. If it was for real, he would have stuck around and seen more than 600 troops out of 100,000. He does have some of the smartest men around (working for his re-election campaign). And of course everyone is giving him credit for this move. What a hoot.

What's wrong Champagne... your acting like some one peed in your lemonade.

Last week they shot a DHL plane out of commission ( did not crash ), The resistance forces are still ambushing vehicles and aircraft. And bush flew in there to say hello and that the mission there was important. This is more than clinton ever did. When he had the military make sure to kill all the warlords in somalia except the one he owed a favor to- where was Clinton??, In bosnia where was clinton?? did he ever put his butt at risk except for some oral satisfaction??. Bush is doing a lot better. He is treating the troops like professional soldiers, and not like the democrats (clinton/house democrats) treat them- as a neccessary evil and reviled killers.

 

[Champane Flight]

So?

Clinton did visit Bosnia if I remember right. But what does that have to do with this? Yea, the Republicans under Regan closed more bases than any other administration. Please don't brag on how great the republicants are to the military. Some know better.

 

[fkovalski]

It was the right thing to do...

Whether it was for the left wing/election numbers or other BS, it was the right thing for The Commander in Chief to do! A holiday away from family in not the most morale building event to be in. Been there, done that. T'giving, Xmas AND turning 21 in the service is something a young man (and WM) should do in one's hometown. What a jolt for morale that those young servive persons must have felt. IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! Screw the left and how they spin this event into wanting the public to think thier way. It's all political BS on thier part.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

No matter how positive or from the heart Bush's intentions are, it'll be construed as political by those who in their eyes he can do no right. I don't know if you think it's overblown or the wrong move, Champane, but don't you think if Bush made an attempt to see more troops than he did he'd be criticized from endangering himself? (which I'm sure is going to happen anyway). What would have been the right thing to do? I don't think he could have done it any other way, any better way, or at any other time, and seen more troops than he did. A lot of people don't agree with Bush's agenda, the war, or downplay his efforts because he's a Republican. Maybe the media response is overblown. Call it a political move if you like. But would it be beyond ourselves to consider the possibility that he really cares about our troops and he had no political motivation behind his visit to Iraq?



Kudos to President Bush and his team for pulling off a quick and slick operation that lifted the hearts of thousands of weary troops.

GW was just practicing to take Bob Hope's place after he loses next year's election.

 

[jandtjil]

Damn proud of the Boss!

The American public has way too short of a memory for this to be a re-election move.

He went because he has a moral compass.

From where I am sitting, the needle is pointing directly toward fullfilling his obligation as the Commander in Chief, honoring those he has committed, acknowledging that their sacrifices do matter as he steers this country (and the world) to safer times.

Maybe twenty years from now there will be significant information clearly showing that we were suckered into a trumped up (White House) war. In the mean time, I wil continue supporting the best man for kicking some serious ass.



I think he should have flown into Baghdad in an A-10 though, just incase someone shouldered a shotgun, he could have personally sent him to meet Allah.
