NY Daily News: Soldiers' families dubious of Dubya
Propelled by anguish and impatience, three local families who lost soldiers in Iraq questioned the sincerity of President Bush's "reflections" on the third anniversary of the war.

In public remarks yesterday, Bush said he spent the morning thinking about "the sacrifices of the men and women who wear our uniform."

The families, who were quick to pledge their unwavering support to all U.S. armed forces, said the words rang hollow.

"She's upset with the President, with the war. She says maybe we shouldn't have been to begin with," said Queens resident Hyda Hernandez, 41, translating for her heartbroken Queens mom, Amarilys Hernandez, 65. "She has not gotten over the loss of her baby."

Don't you hate these people who refuse to "support the troops".
