Help me out please. I was pre-occupied while Joe Biden |

I THINK - just gave President Bush large 8 years worth of Kudos for caring about the troops on Stephen Colbert's show. Did this really happen. Was he cussin' us? Or am I drunk?

unfortunately expected. What I heard in the corner of my left ear made it sound a lot more complimentary and credible.
He did not seem uncomfortable with this opinion at all, whereas Pres. Obama was squirmy when he gave it. I should have just kept quiet. But thanks for the clarification.

3. I think he said he had no doubt Bush cared for the troops. |
|
As in, Bush personally, in his heart cared for the troops.
Of course, Biden has to take this believe on faith, because Bush didn't do anything that would allow an outside observer to empirically determine that. Such as actually providing adequate physical and mental health-care services, up-to-date body armor, etc.

about sociopaths? Who care about nothing but what concerns their own agenda and use others to achieve it? Who have no conscience, who cannot feel that they are sorry, much less can say they are, and who will walk undisturbed over corpses to reach their goal?
We're on the same page, you and I. I tend to go nuts when the scars that Bush inflicted itch. I am a not vindicated American until and unless there is investigation and arrest and a trial and a verdict.
I will never give up.

8. The bare minimum of what? |
|
Recognition of being a war criminal, which allowed them to say we don't look back and turn the page?
Acknowledgment of being a member of the human race, which allowed them to assume he had some feeling for the troops all supportive evidence to the contrary?
Your comment makes no sense to me. I think what you want to say is they gave him the bare minimum of praise, which allowed them to look good and humane in assessing someone they basically don't approve of.
That, in their minds, allows them to disregard that he should be shackled awaiting trial.
It's not OK with me I will never give up, and I know I have said it before, and I will never stop saying it and working on it and remaining consistent.
