Comments on: Bush Rejects McCain’s ‘100-Year’ Occupation Of Iraq: ‘That’s A Long Time’ http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/11/bush-mccain-100/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:28:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Marie http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/11/bush-mccain-100/comment-page-2/#comment-4225518 Marie Sat, 12 Jan 2008 02:17:02 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2008/01/11/bush-mccain-100/#comment-4225518 OT, but slightly relative -- Has anyone ever come forward who served with Bush in the Texas National Guard? Has anyone claimed to be his friend? Validated his service? Told anecdotes? Bush further displayed his complete ignorance of history as he second-guessed the WWII military today. He wants to know why we didn't bomb Aushwitz? (Wouldn't that be pointless to kill people before they are killed by the Nazis?) That Bush would ask such a question and reveal that his solution to everything is to obliterate it with bombs is indicative of his level of thought process, and the degree to which he believes he can intelligently command the military. The 6-week war that was predicted in March of 2003 is in its 5th year and he expects another decade. Bush - the worst f&^%ing president in history. OT, but slightly relative –
