Bush Visits Wounded Troops Home From Iraq
Edited on Fri May-05-06 09:44 PM by Rose Siding
WASHINGTON -- President Bush visited 14 wounded troops home from Iraq and watched as Marines twirled and tossed their rifles in unison in a parade at their barracks Friday night.

Lines of Marines in dark jackets and white pants streamed onto the field at dusk, marching and pounding their steel-plated rifle butts on the concrete, showing off the polished movements they display for crowds every Friday from May to August. A drill team of two dozen twirled their guns.

Bush and his wife, Laura, watched the parade after a private visit with the wounded.

6. They don't seem to worry their beautiful minds

about anything.

There is no way that I could go and visit wounded soldiers and then chin and grin with good old Generals like they are watching the Lakers Basketball Game!

Evil!
And to think that they insulted Clinton because he "wasn't in the Service."

:mad:
