Bush is going to use military to prop up his Tuesday night speech

Good God, does this White House know any shame?

They're going to use a US military base as the backdrop for Bush's speech to the nation Tuesday night. The TV stations shouldn't even cover it. This is just one more disgusting display of crassness by an administration who couldn't care less about our armed forces, unless they're needed for a photo op.

Hey, our servicemembers are dying over in Iraq because Bush hasn't even given them the equipment they need, because they're fighting a war based on a lie, and because Bush has given them no war plan at all, but what does all that matter, so long as Bush can use them as props to help boost his poll numbers.

Now who has contempt for our troops? I don't know how military guys can even stand Bush as their commander in chief. At some pooint they're going to realize that they and their buddies are dying because this man doesn't give a damn about them.
