George W. Bush visits Fort Hood, wounded soldiers
Source: Google News
FORT HOOD, Texas — Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have visited wounded soldiers and their families after the mass shooting at Fort Hood.
The Bushes made their private visit to Fort Hood's Darnall Army Medical Center on Friday night. Bush spokesman David Sherzer said in an e-mail that the couple thanked Fort Hood's military leaders and hospital staff for the "amazing care they are providing."
An Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 29 others in a shooting rampage Thursday at a Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood. Hasan is hospitalized, under guard.

4. I can't really criticize him for this
Criticize his policies, yes that I will do. But this shooter must be responsible for his own actions, and no amount of mental anguish will justify what he did. Thousands of troops come home every year from this war with mental anguish, but don't shoot up their fellow citizens as a coping mechanism.
That falls under the best of category the smallest category at DU :lmao:

His visit was unannounced except to the staff at Fort Hood and the hospital.

5. Why couldn't he have been visiting on Thursday?
I mean it's tragic that the shooting happened at all, but at least then something positive could have come out of it.
I see nothing has changed they still want him dead.

7. Nope. Pity he did so little of it while President.
He did plenty of that while POTUS it just wasn't all over the TV when he did.

them.

10. They should grab him and make him complete his military service.
There's a war out there with his name on it.
Yeah his military record is so much less than that of Lord O. :whatever:

11. Haven't they suffered enough already?
Talk about adding insult to injury.
I wish there were pictures, you know those "Photo Op" ones, to show that his visit brought them a little comfort after their ordeal.

I wonder if they realize the Secret Service takes threats agains ex Presidents just as seriously as they do against the guy in office now?

2. President Obama has always been respectful of those in the Military
I would have been surprised had he elected not to go.

3. W and I-Killed-A-Guy were there last night
The fundie whackjobs are using it as proof that the W's are "classy" and Obama hates the military:
http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=115700
Thank God for a true man like George Bush. What does it really say about our current CIC when a former president is the only one to show up?
**********
Yes! Thank God for George Bush to have compassion Obama does not have!!
**********
Yep! Bush has the kind of class that the liberals don't understand.
**********
Hurray for Bush! A true American not like that phony we have in office. Can you imagine the moral of our soldiers when there commander in chief wont even visit after a tragedy like this?
How conveniently they seem to forget that W has nothing else to do.
Lord O is going to camp David I thought vacations were bad for presidents.

You know, if I were one of the wounded at Ft. Hood, I believe I'd rather get a post card from Mr.& Mrs bush than a visit from the Obama's.

If they did they wouldn't be stupid enough to make them. I say let the Skimmer Fuhrer get another visits from the Secret Service and explain this one away too.
