Bush Calls Troops With Holiday Greetings

Source: Associated Press

CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) -- President Bush, who visited troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving after the U.S. invasion in 2003, called several servicemen and women Thursday to extend best wishes and say it was "the least I can do."

Three of those receiving holiday greetings are in the Army, two are Marines, three are in the Air Force, two serve in the Coast Guard and two in the Navy. The troops called are serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and aboard ship, said White House press secretary Dana Perino.

... The president asked for God's blessings on the members of the military, Perino said. He said he was thankful to be commander in chief of the finest military ever assembled and told them, "calling you is the least I can do because I admire the military so much."

The president was celebrating the holiday at Camp David with his wife, Laura, and their twin daughters, who have a birthday this weekend. Also present were daughter Jenna's husband-to-be Henry Hager, some of the president's brothers and sisters with their families, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

reverse the charges?

I'm sure he had his feet up on some willing aide and a big can o' cold beer in reaching distance while he made his phone calls. Then he's up for some bike-falling-off and a drumstick.

fuck bu$h.

I'm thankful during this holiday season that the Criminal in Chief is a lame duck...and SOOO looking forward to other countries bringing him up on war crimes charges.

"They are fighting on the front lines of the war on terror, the war against extremists and radicals who would do us more harm," he said. "Many of them will spend Thanksgiving far from the comforts of home. And so we thank them for their service and sacrifice. We keep their families and loved ones in our prayers. We pray for the families who lost a loved one in this fight against the extremists and radicals, and we vow that their sacrifice will not be in vain."

Yea, whatever idiot.

have never gotten a real "tour" (a la Jackie Kennedy's White House tour) of Camp David. I'd like to see the place and check out our furniture, artwork, etc. Preferably when the King is back in Crawford, of course. The only tour I want to see Laura lead is the one that ends with boarding Marine One for the last time.

No, asshole. Leaving them all stuck in Iraq, and sending them back over and over because you can't make the hard decision to stop your mistake is the least you can do.

to take this call!"
