So Bush is "loving" the widows of the Iraq war...
oh god...he sounded so stupid...

From the transcript..

"You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

I told her after we prayed and teared up and laughed some that I thought her husband's sacrifice was noble and worthy. Because I understand the stakes of this war on terror. I understand that we must find Al Qaida wherever they hide. "

All right, now, Mr. President. Step...away...from...the bong... "It's hard work to love her as best I can?" What?? Is that like the OB-GYNs who can't practice their love on women? That boy just ain't RIGHT. Not to mention that he conflated Iraq with Al Qaeda again. Jeez, what an utter cretin.

13. He did sound stupid on that one.....the one that got me was at the
end of the debate when he was wrapping up and said, "I climbed the mighty mountain and looked down at the peace in the valley below."

21. That whole thing was creepy. He tried to tear up to show his human,
compassionate side but it came off totally phony..he couldn't even say the man had died, only that he had been in harm's way.

Cannon fodder is all they are to this weasel, I am surprised that he even met this woman. It must have been recently, probably so he could mention it in the debates, otherwise there is no way in hell he would have even remembered her name.
