War Wounds: Who really supports the troops?

What has the "pro-war" side done to support the troops?

For starters, the president "politicized" their deaths by dressing up like a soldier and landing on an aircraft festooned with "Mission Accomplished" banner that was created by his own staff. Then, when the deaths continued and he was criticized for this publicity stunt, the little man in the flight suit blamed the soldiers for the banner.

And while he waves a flag, Bush hasn't attended a single military funeral or visited the wounded in any military hospital since his war began. He has also blocked a pay raise for those troops in the combat zone, and cut benefits to the Veterans Administration.

And he has, in his most unforgivable politicizing gesture, taunted the Iraqis to "bring it on" at a point in the conflict when such language would knowingly lead to more deaths of our troops.

Were Bush really a soldier, he would be court-martialed.
