I. personally, am speechless..


Bush: I'm Envious Of Soldiers Serving "Romantic" Mission In Afghanistan

President Bush let his inner adventurer out while discussing the state of the war in Afghanistan with military and civilian personnel. While those in Afghanistan detailed the logistical and diplomatic problems via teleconference, the President took a much more whimsical approach to their mission. Via Reuters:

"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," Bush said.


Meanwhile, over 40 Taliban insurgents were killed in a battle in Southern Afghanistan, and six Afghani civilians were killed in a suicide bombing aimed at an American convoy.

He served in the military which is much more than any DUmmy can ever dream of.

killing all of them and burying them in mass graves. Yeah. Woo-hah. That's far more fun than forcing firecrackers up frogs' butts and lighting them. Yeah, participating in mass murder with no risk is something he's fantasized all his life. And achieved.

Well, HELL YEAH!  Any real man wants to be where the shit's happening, for at least one hitch so he can say with a clear conscience that he did his part in the Real Deal.  Anyone who doesn't get that would NEVER understand the St. Crispin's Day speech in Henry V.  I'd much rather have been sent there than where I am now on this tour.

Don't bother trying to tell that to the DUmbshits, though. A man willing to fight for his country is a joke to them.

Regardless of where GWB ended up being assigned, you don't strap a single-seat fighter like the F-102 to your ass and blast off into night missions without some major cojones. Yet the DUmmy definition of "courage" is to link arms and sit on the sidewalk in front of a recruiting office in Berkeley. :whatever:
