Bush Turns His Back on the Troops

Today the main news stories are that 14 marines were killed yesterday in one attack, a day after 6 others were killed in the same region, and that as that is happening President George W. Bush begins another five week vacation.

Let's hear it for compassion, accountability, responsibility, resolve, maturity, morality, honesty, etc, etc - all the fantasy qualities that this administration was supposed to represent. What we really have is selfishness, greed, ignorance, secrecy, intolerance, dishonesty, pretence, PR, spin, distraction, corruption, and a president who can't even put out the energy to pretend to care about anything except providing rewards for his rich and powerful "base." Fuck the troops.
