Helen Thomas To Snow: "Is Anyone in Bush Family In War?"-"Snow: Bush On Frontlines Everyday"
Edited on Thu Jun-14-07 03:38 PM by kpete
Snow: President Bush Is ‘On The Frontlines’ Of The Iraq War ‘Every Day’

In today’s White House press briefing, reporter Helen Thomas asked Tony Snow if there are “any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war.” Stunningly, Snow claimed that President Bush is actually on the “frontlines” of the war in Iraq:

Q: Are there any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war?

SNOW: Yeah, the President. The President is in the war every day.

Q: Come on, that isn’t my question –

SNOW: Well, no, if you ask any president who is a commander in chief –

Q: On the frontlines, wherever…

SNOW: The President.

2. What a ridiculous argument
Let's see Bush get wounded in a staff meeting, if that's the case.

26. Wow...that will be his THIRD Purple Heart!
...first was from the Thomases, who felt sorry for him suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune...

Second is apparently for surviving that avian aerial fecal attack

For an AWOL deserter chickenhawk who's never seen combat, he's really racking them up! :eyes:

4. if bush is on the front lines, then that must mean we're "fighting them here"
and the whole thing is a complete and utter failure. Isn't that why we were "fighting them there" in the first place?

10. *Coward* in Chief, I think he really meant.


Just another slap in the face to the military personnel who are carrying the brunt of this failed war for profit, from the brazen little hypocritical coward who put them there in the first place.

17. He fell off his bike dozens of times for his country.
Snow's not even trying to make sense anymore, he just fills up space with lies.

21. First Family of Posers.
They don't even realize how scummy they are, pretending to be patriots, when they have nothing but a feeling of superiority which defies common sense.

25. Oh SHUT the FUCK UP, Snow.
:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

When Bush does anything for this country besides screwing over its citizens, when he actually puts his ass on the line to help those "fellow 'Murkans" he's so fond of talking about, then maybe, just MAYBE, you can talk about him being on the "front lines." Until then, though, just shut the fuck up. And tell your disgrace of a "commander-in-chief" to do the same. :grr:
