President Bush at Army hospital: 'You see the horrors of war'

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/presidentbush/2008/09/iraq-war.html



President Bush visited today with wounded troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. It is one of his regular stops: visiting with those injured in Afghanistan and Iraq and, separately, with relatives of those killed in the wars.

He made the trip to the large hospital several hours after announcing that he was resuming the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, which he had put on hold several months ago, and that several units originally scheduled to go to Iraq would instead be sent to Afghanistan.

The hospital visit, he said, was "an interesting experience."

"On the one hand," he said, "you see the horrors of war. On the other hand, you see the courage of the people that have volunteered to serve."

3. That is his adjective for EVERYTHING
A conversation with Putin is "interesting." A question from the press is "interesting." The man has approximately 3 brain cells, all of which are sleeping on the job.
