Bush's Idea Of Romantic Battle
Or participation in leastways, is to promote anti-gay measures on state ballots to draw the base to the polls in order to win an election.

So, Your Uniform is Waiting Along with the Jock Strap
There are several leaders in Iraq that are your age. Kings used to go into battle, and you think you are King George.
We are watching. We might just pretend to like you and cheer for you.
Then again, NAH.
But go anyway, Dubya. Enjoy your mess, look at your disaster. Savour that excitement. And bring your big checkbook to pay for your play in the sandbox.

Boob
Bush is the world's biggest! I'm envious of the president, only while he's choking on a pretzel.
-
Bush is the worst president of all time
Forget Harding or Taft or whoever. Those guys are amateurs.
-
And those bullets coming at you...
...Are like little love notes.
Send in the twins. Oh, wait! They're drinking for democracy. No blood for beer!
-
Uncle Achmed Wants You!
Join up, George! You can pull strings. You are in pretty good physical shape. Your old unit might take you back to wash fuselages and empty barf bags. Or if the US armed forces will not take you, Blackwater will.
Seriously, George. I suggested this a couple years ago. Do it.
-
Let him go!
We should let Bush go to fight in that war. If Cheney goes too, we'll have Nancy Pelosi as President.
-
Welcome To Bush Fatigue
What has become of us? Are we so battered by this man's stupidity that we can't even summon our righteous indignation anymore? We should be angry.
-
Ahh yes...
...the sweet smell of blood and guts and explosives along with the aural music of wailing pain from soldiers, women and children come together in a sweet multi-media bouquet that is irresistable to a pathetic cowardly fuk like GWB.

It's Not Irony - It's Bullshit
I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.
Junior, we got to see what you'd do if you were slightly younger and not employed. You got string pulled to get into an Air Nat'l Guard VIP unit, marked your form as not volunteering for overseas duty, and then then managed to avoid completing even that minimal service.
I don't denigrate the Nat'l Guard, after I completed my active duty service, like a lot of veterans I chose to go into the Guard and I served with a of of good, dedicated people, like the ones who are currently doing multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite treatment as second-class soldiers. But you Commander Codpiece were the worst kind of skate and your record belies your words.

So romance isn't dead, it's just death.
So pain, fear, discomfort, death -- these things are romantic. I'm thinking I'm not too envious of Laura Bush!
-
The Wannabe in Chief
I thought I was beyond disgust. Shakespeare nailed it.
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
-
He forgot to say...
"I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here..." I'd keep my candy-ass as far from combat as I could, go AWOL from a "champagne unit" while claiming that I'm all for the war, booze it up and snort my way across Alabama and make sure Poppy's connections make sure not damned thing could ever happen to me. See ya, suckers!

omg
my head's gonna explode
-
He can always
send his daughters, and future idiot-son-in-law, and live vicariously through them.
-
That sound you hear
is my jaw hitting the floor.
-
He'll be looking for something to do in January 2009
President McCain can send him to the front line of his war with Iran.
-
Don't even bother.
Dumbya has become -- as incredible as it seems -- and easier target than ever. There is no end to his stupidity, his dishonesty, his incompetence on all levels. So, let's have a moratorium. Let's look to the future. Taking shots at Bush is just too easy, like lifting cotton balls and calling it a workout. You'll lose your muscle.
Now, if you want to talk impeachment, that's another matter. Let's definitely expend some energy there.
-
Make It Stop
If only he hadn't checked the box "Do Not Volunteer for Overseas".
What a weasle. I'm so glad I'll be able to tell generations to follow that I didn't vote for that clown in either election.
-
Wrong audience
One thing a combat soldier learns very, very quickly is there is no romance, no glory, no feelings of accomplishment in war. There is, however, lots of grief, pain, fear and loss.
That those who send our children to war, have this shallow an understanding of war explains why we do it over and over.
George picked exactly the wrong audience for this happy horseshit of his. Not much romance in PTSD.
-
I am so ashamed of my country
Our president is a flaming asshole. The whole world must be laughing at us for this one.
-
Watch the Winter Soldier Hearings, You Fuck, for some real Romance
Can this man really be taken seriously? I am apalled that he is given any credance by the so-called press. They must be as brain-dead as he is.
I am committed to Oneness through Justice and Transformation
peace,

It figures
Sane people look at Iraq and Afghanistan and see a quagmire from which a dignified exit is virtually impossible.
Bush looks at it and sees himself as Peter O'Toole in "Lawrence of Arabia," no doubt imagining himself moving through the world to Maurice Jarre's magnificent music score, soaring and noble. You can see that in his eyes sometimes, that look of conviction that he is an extraordinary man rising to the challenge of extraordinary times, the rest of us just haven't keyed into that yet, but give it time... give it time, and all the while never realizing that his theme song is more like "Dueling Banjos."
Every time he opens his mouth it just breaks my heart. His pronouncement the other day that he's not finished yet, and that he plans to sprint to the finish scares the crap out of me.
What, for the love of God, could be cooking around in that overheated romantic brain of his?
-
How soon can he enlist??
Ah, yes the delightful romance of war. Well, if George is so enamoured with the dangers and violence of war, then by all means let him have a go at it. He can take Dick Cheney and all his other corrupt cronies along with them. Who knows, they might even be lucky enough to be captured by the enemy and guess what? Time for a little waterboarding or perhaps some other diabolical form of "interrogation" approved by George himself. Yes, Mr. President, believe it or not, the military is so desperate these days due to the fact that you've done all that you possibly can to destroy it as well as everything else that you've touched, that they might even take you and your criminal pals. So, you could just get to enjoy some of this "romance" after all.
