33. He looks like a beaten man. It looks like he's lost weight and
aged 20 years this year alone.

He may look like death, but he's lucky.......He's not lying in a grave, like the 4,000 service members he's killed off in Iraq.

35. His facial expressions...
says he wishes he was the hell out of there or the food looks crappy...or he's really holding it (his shit)and needs to use the restroom badly...shame, the soldiers don't just jump him there and then beat his ass to a pulp..no such luck they're loyal Bushies...

3. Check out the look on that asshole's face in the second and
third pictures. He really is a smarmy worthless f**k.

Why would these men want to eat with an arrogant coward who didn't have the decency or integrity to serve out his time in a cushy National Guard outfit? Couldn't keep his nose out of the drugs long enough.

what the Marines get for lunch.

8. aw, look at the sad widdle frown...
These guys aren't paying him one bit of attention, and little dress-up soldier boy isn't liking it at all.

It isn't just the business suit that sets him apart - he looks totally isolated in these pictures.

21. I think I understand Shrub's problem
IIRC the last White House chef explained that when you cook lunch for Shrub, you make him a PB&J, a can of spaghetti-o's, a hamburger and one other kiddie food because he doesn't know what he wants until the last moment, he always rejects the first thing you put in front of him and he only eats those four things for lunch.

Now, this Quantico thing...Marines are actual adults so they eat grown-up food for lunch. On his plate is a piece of gray mystery meat, a roll, some mashed potatoes with no gravy, and a serving of broccoli. Now...there's a long history of broccoli revulsion in the Bush family. Poppy hates it, Prescott probably hated it, Shrub undoubtedly hates it too...but here the Marines are actually EXPECTING Dubya Bush to eat the stuff! And he had to go through the chow line on his own!

That last picture is a classic "what is this shit?" pose.

Y'know, one ought not berate people who have large knives, like Shrub is doing.

Edited on Fri Sep-14-07 11:48 AM by Botany
Bush, "So how is the chow here?

Lt. "Fine, Sir"

Bush "So is it O.K. if I eat with you and we can shoot the breeze?"

Lt. "Fine, sir"

Bush "So what are you doing the rest of the day?"

Lt "Work, sir"

25. This is just fucked up.
Forcing these soldiers to participate in a photo-op with Asshole when it's clear they're not into it. Why does that fucker still think he's welcome and revered by the military? He's the one getting them killed!

32. And these guys aren't even in hell.. Er Iraq.
But they probably know they're going soon, for what could be at least 10 more years.

Basically Bush is sentencing them to life, and they know it.

From everyone's body language, it looks like he'll be
covered in spitballs the moment the teachers leave the room.
