bush* Grieves for Fallen British Soldiers

<snip>

While Bush celebrates the two countries' friendship as "one of the great alliances of mankind," many of the British deplore the war, and as many as 100,000 protesters were expected to show their discontent Thursday in a massive march.

On the second full day of his 3 1/2-day visit to Britain, Bush laid a cream-colored wreath with a red, white and blue banner at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in a subdued ceremony Thursday at Westminster Abbey. The president, wife, Laura, at his side, did not speak, only somberly bowing his head in prayer before the grave.

Later, he was to meet with relatives of 53 British soldiers and civilians killed since the start of the war — the highest death toll of any American ally in Iraq.

"The armed forces of both our countries have taken losses, felt deeply by our citizens," Bush said in a speech Wednesday. "Some families now live with a burden of great sorrow. We cannot take the pain away, but these families can know that they are not alone."

3. THANKS CHIMPANZEE
What a 2 faced bastard.

But then again in 1969 you avoided placing yourself in danger, and explored your brain through the use of cocaine and other illegal substances.

What a loser.

5. Bush at Walter Reed couldn't look amputee/soldier in the face.
My best friend's brother is a journalist who recently interviewed a vet/new amputee and his Mom. Bush visited this soldier at Walter Reed Hospital in DC area. The Mom said she stared at Bush the entire time he stood next to her son to see if he would have the courage to look her in the eyes. He not only would not look directly at her; he never even looked directly at the young soldier he was talking too. Expletives fail me!

18. Although the First Amendment
gives us freedom of speech, there are rules to become a part of discussions here. I would encourage new posters to read them carefully.

19. There are 423 dead americans
since this cretin* ordered an ilegal invasion last spring, how many of those funerals has the chimp* attended? How many times has it* picked up the telephone and said I'm sorry for your loss?.
This idiot deserves to be hauled into the Hague with slobo and tried for war crimes.
