Fallen troops' families split on Bush talk

SAVANNAH, Ga. - It's been 10 months since a roadside bomb in Iraq killed Cathy Brunson's son and three fellow Georgia National Guardsmen — not long enough to heal, she says, and too late to take much comfort in President Bush's admission he's made mistakes in conducting the war.

"No matter what is said or done now, it's not going to bring back the 2,000-plus soldiers that were killed," Brunson of Sylvester, Ga., said Friday, a day after Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair offered sobering acknowledgments of missteps in their handling of Iraq.

Her son, 30-year-old Spc. Jacques "Gus" Brunson, a former prison guard, was among 11 Georgia citizen-soldiers killed over 11 days when the National Guard's 48th Infantry Brigade deployed to Iraq last year.

"For the families who have lost their sons, brothers, husbands, it is kind of late now to acknowledge that 'OK, we did make mistakes,'" said Brunson, who keeps a photo of her son on her desk at the tax assessor's office in south Georgia's rural Worth County.

guy is a Reverend? Totally beyond my comprehension, especially that last sentence. I wonder if the boy's mother shares his enthusiasm for Bush.

there are people in Eastern Germany saying that it was better before. Before they didn't have to think for themselves... much easier

ended...and it makes them somewhat complicit in it.

give a rat's ass about the soldiers...they are expendable tools used to make money for him and for his friends. Are they always such bad judges of character?
