I can't put it any better than they do at The Gavel: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?p=611

President Bush, moments ago:

"I’m joined by veterans and military families here to express support to our troops and their mission in Iraq. I want to thank you all for being here today. We’ve just finished a reay good meeting. In our discussions, these folks had a message that all of us in Washington need to hear. It is time to rise above partisanship, stand behind our troops in the field, and give them everything they need to succeed. In February I submitted to Congress a Defense Department spending bill for the upcoming fiscal year that will provide funds to upgrade our equipment for our troops in Iraq and provides a pay raise for our military - a comprehensive spending request - that Congress has failed to act on."


President Bush, May 16, 2007: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?p=391

Military Pay: The Administration strongly opposes sections 601 and 606. The additional 0.5 percent increase above the President’s proposed 3.0 percent across-the-board pay increase is unnecessary.


Republicans and their "fiscal responsibility." Record breaking deficits, but all in the name of "national security."

Unless you're actually taking bullets for that "national security," that is.

If so, then George W. Bush says screw you.
