Hey, looks like someone from "the other side" is taking an objective look at what is being expressed here :beer:
This just like almost everything else is being set up as a catch 22. Either way the left will damn him. Go figure...

Far from Iraq, Bush spends quiet holiday
Friday, November 26, 2004

CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush spent a down-to-earth Thanksgiving Day at his ranch eating leftovers and riding his mountain bike -- a world away from Baghdad, his secret destination a year ago.
Bush also called members of the military stationed around the world, most of them deployed to the Middle East.
It was a dual celebration: His twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, marked their 23rd birthdays on the family's ranch. Also at the home were Laura Bush and her mother, Jenna Welch, and the president's parents, former President Bush and Barbara Bush.
The family worked on leftovers from Wednesday's luncheon meeting with Spain's King Carlos and Queen Sofia. That meal had a Thanksgiving theme, with free- range turkey and gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, bass caught at the ranch, stuffing, pan-roasted vegetables, pecan and pumpkin pies with ice cream. There was cake yesterday for the twins' birthdays.
Bush also rode his bicycle on the trails at the 1,600-acre ranch, and chopped cedar, White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said.
In the morning, the president called 10 members of the military representing all five branches of the service. "As the men and women of America's armed forces are sacrificing for the liberties we all enjoy, the president wanted to express his gratitude for their service and sacrifice, and to wish them a happy Thanksgiving," Buchan said.
Last Thanksgiving, Bush slipped away from the ranch to visit troops in Baghdad, leaving his family and most of his usual entourage behind. Mindful of that history, many aides and journalists anxiously awaited word of another secret trip this year, checking their pagers and cell phones often.

Of course Bushwhack won't go - he got his polished photo ops and slick sound bites.
he used the troops last year just as he uses the american flag to wipe his A## on each and every day.
bush will always suck every worthwhile drop to politicize an event to inflate his already bursting ego and elephant-faced self. he doesn't care who died or who is risking their lives for his choosable wars...he will never have to personally sacrifice a damn thing the rest of his life.

I thought the world was safer now. I thought Iraq was all happy and under control except a few strongholds like Fallujah. If Dub believed his own lies, what would he have to worry about?

Bush Apologists of America (BAA): pulling the wool over their own eyes since 1980
Why couldn't he touch down right there at Baghdad International??? Doesn't he have confidence in his newly appointed Iraqi government to provide security???
This was the point of my poll. After over 20 months, thousands upon thousands of lives lost on both sides and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on an unprovoked invasion based on lies, the liar who began it all can't even fly into the country he invaded because of security concerns. Instead, he has leftovers down at the ranch.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm certain they aren't celebrating in Iraq.
And come to think of it, what exactly are we thankful for? Four more years of this insanity???
