1. I know he said it during his interview...

...with Scott Pelly on CBS (probably didn't spell that right).

I can't find it in the CBS transcripts.

2. referring to them as his kids means he can tell them what to do, coming from an AWOL draft dodger

4. It Was From The PBS Jim Lehrer Interview:Great Video from YouTube

PRESIDENT BUSH: -- "that - where we still have a chance to move beyond the broken egg. And I thought long and hard about the decision, Jim. Obviously it's a big decision for this theater in the war on terror, and you know, if I didn't believe we could keep the egg from fully cracking, I wouldn't ask 21,000 kids - additional kids to go into Iraq to reinforce those troops that are there." shown on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

5. It's one thing for me to call them kids, it's sad for their huffer-

puffer Commander In Chief to do it.

What if one of the daughters married a soldier - he would probably say Hey kid.

6. The expression is not unusual. Just as people refer to them as our "boys."

Pick on President Bush for something else.

[Disturbed]

7. There a thousands of men and women in the US Military.

This is an insult to them. Busholini is a Silver spoon Sociopath that does not care about the lives of men and women in the US Military.

[Captain Hilts]

8. No, it is very common to refer to our troops as "boys." Always has been.

Check out the young ages of those being killed and it's not far off the mark.

Most are under 25.

9. I had a bigger problem with him saying he "ASK" them to go

"I wouldn't ask 21,000 kids - additional kids to go into Iraq to reinforce those troops that are there."

They were ordered. The little chickenshit is not man enough to say he ordered 21,000 more to go into "HIS WAR".
