Traitorous scum.

This LA Times article has a national poll showing how Bush and his handling of the Iraq war is losing the support of families with ties to the military. A majority say the invasion was not worth it, and 58 percent of these families want the troops home within a year or sooner.
 
This is how disastrous Bush and his policies have been for the military. Given enough time, he will probably piss off and alienate every single member of the US military and every single member of their families.
 
And Cheney might ask--"Why do the families of the troops hate the troops so much? And besides, big deal, the majority of oil company executives and their families still support the war."
 
And Limbaugh might add--"Who cares what those limp-wristed left-wing fake soldier families think!"
 
From the Los Angeles Times: December 7, 2007 WASHINGTON -- Families with ties to the military, long a reliable source of support for wartime presidents, disapprove of President Bush and his handling of the war in Iraq, with a majority concluding the invasion was not worth it, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.
 
The views of the military community, which includes active-duty service members, veterans and their family members, mirror those of the overall adult population, a sign that the strong military endorsement that the administration often pointed to has dwindled in the war's fifth year.
 
Nearly six out of every 10 military families disapprove of Bush's job performance and the way he has run the war, rating him only slightly better than the general population does.
 
And among those families with soldiers, sailors and Marines who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, 60% say that the war in Iraq was not worth the cost, the same result as all adults surveyed.[..]"

And lest you wonder if they would get a different result if they'd poll the actual military members who are serving... and not just their moms or lesbian liberal aunties or whoever...

As a member of one of those families I can tell you that I'm firmly in that 58% who believe our family members should be brought home now.
 
Don't be surprised if someone in a military audience boos Bush one day.
 
He has used and abused their blood, courage, sacrifice and honor.
 
And who would Bush and Cheney speak in front of then?
 
They seem to only give speeches in front of audiences that can essentially be ordered to cheer.
 
Wonder how many key speeches they'll be asked to give at the Republican National Convention? Republican candidates never even mention their names. Well, McCain said "Bush" one time in the last debate.
 
I read somewhere that Bush is convinced he will need private (Blackwater?) security after his term because so many in this country and the world dislike him so.
 
America -- what a frightful mess we've gotten you in, this administration and Congress have unraveled so much that was once so good.
 
All for greed and power for so few...
 
No terrorist could have gutted this nation so badly.
