Zenister 0 #78 November 29, 2003 QuoteQuoteI think the Commander in Chief could show his concern and support a thousands other ways than a two hour photo op. This was just more cowboy bravado. No, nothing says more than giving up his own thanksgiving for the troops, regardless of the time spent. I'm sure security had something to do with the amount of time he spent there. actually while most of the soldiers I've talked to thought it was pretty cool they'd rather have another day off, few more hot showers and maybe a beer and a pizza...than a photo op that doesnt really affect the majorities day.. cool, but silly....____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

captainpooby 0 #85 November 30, 2003 QuoteAny aircraft the Preident is on, is designated, Air Force One. Story goes that a British Airways pilot spotted them and asked"Is that AF1?" and the reply was:"No we are a Gulfstream9" The BA pilot paused while he figured it out and acknowledged back:"have a good flight Gulfstream9" That came from a reporter on the plane. So, in this instance, they werent AF1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpjumps 0 #88 December 1, 2003 I was here a day and figured that much out! Ya'll like 'em, like to talk about 'em, like to think about 'em, like to post 'em, like to talk about postin' em, like to use them to chase away stress and hmmm, ya'll just like boobies. But having had a couple of my own for a long time now, they are no strees release for me. After two kids they are just something I gotta put back in their proper place in the morning and strap down if I am heading out for a long run.

Kramer 0 #90 December 1, 2003 QuoteOh, the poor liberals. They must be sobbing in their cranberry sauce right now. This made me laugh for days. While this visit from Mr. Bush may have been somewhat costly, I don't know what foot the spend-happy liberals have to stand on when they complain about this trip. I think a couple million (if that) is worth it to boulster the moral of our troops/nation. Just my two cents... -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

kpjumps 0 #91 December 1, 2003 Ya, well, n2skydvn said I didn't understand about the history of boobies on this sight and I was just saying I got that. And since I have a baby brother and two really good friends over there I'd stopped reading these, cause I was getting stressed. Everyone over here wants to debate everything going on over there and wether or not Bush was gutsy for visiting. I want my baby brother safe. I got emails from my brother and one of my friends, they were both impressed. As for hijacking this thread, you guys carry on...Your character will ultimately determine your destiny.

kiltboy 0 #92 December 1, 2003 QuoteI think it was a great effort, but I wish Tony Blair had done the same thing at the same time for the Brits. I don't know they may have shot him. The UK government is writing a Defence White Paper that aims to reduce the British Army by 10 infantry battalions to pay for the Iraq war and buy new shiny toys. Slated to go include the Black Watch and the Irish Guards. Two battalions that took Basrah. How would you feel when you lost friends and put your neck on the line to return home and find that your regiment is to be disbanded? Also if the current plans do happen there will no longer be an Irish regiment in the British Army. If you saw the results of the N. Ireland elections you'd be worried as Iain Paisley's party is now the majority. Oh yeah the British troops would love to see Tony. Slap bang in the middle of their SUSAT.

Just my two cents... -Kramer You might want to compare expenditures of the Bush administration and its Republican Congress supporters, with those of previous administrations before complaining about the spending habits of liberals. You might just want to take a look at the deficit too. The motto of the Republicans seems to be "Borrow, Spend, and Let our Children Pay"...
