Sunday December 24, 2006 3:16 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, who is spending Christmas at the Camp David presidential retreat, called 10 members of the U.S. military on Sunday to thank them for their service and wish them a happy holiday.

During the calls, which were placed to troops stationed overseas or have recently returned from deployments abroad before 8 a.m. EST, the president asked about the status of troop morale, said deputy White House press secretary Dana Perino.

``He said he wanted to call to let them know how much he appreciates their service and how proud he is of each of them,'' she said.

``He asked them to please pass on his thanks to the men and women they serve with,
and to give his best, on this Christmas, to their families.''

2. Well, he can redeem himself by suiting up and making amends for

his going AWOL when it was his turn to put his ass on the line. Hell, they're taking anyone so his age won't matter. The fact that he can't walk and chew gum shouldn't really count for much since they're taking and retaining people who've lost a limb and have an artificial one. The fact that he's not very smart shouldn't matter because they've dumbed down the requirements for military enlistment so much that even he could qualify. And finally, he's not doing a damn bit of good where he is now. Why not put his lying corrupt ass on the ground in Iraq?

4. His best is NO WHERE GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE

he does not have any wishes worth giving to our troops. If it wasnt' for his egomaniac egotistical actions they would not still be there.

5. Oh, they ARE getting his best. For his best is murder, mayhem, and

prevarication.
Bush always speaks his truth.
