Bush Has Not Attended Even One Funeral Of A U.S. Soldier Killed In Iraq

Three more US GIs died yesterday in Iraq. For what?
Meanwhile, the _resident, a *chickenhawk* who taunts
the enemy ("Bring 'em on!") and vows "no retreat," has
not attended the burial of even one of the men and
women who have given their lives in this foolish,
ill-conceived military adventure...The Vogels names
will go on the John 0'Neill Wall of Heroes...

Bush Has Not Attended Even One Funeral Of A U.S. Soldier Killed In Iraq

George W Bush to Barbara Walters, ABC "20/20,"
12/13/02

"There's only one person who is responsible for making
that decision , and that's me. And there's only one
person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives
and the kids on the death of their loved ones. Others
hug, but having committed the troops, I've got an
additional responsibility to hug, and that's me, and I
know what it's like."

Family of soldier displaying outrage toward president

With their 23-year-old son serving as an Army
reservist in Iraq, Pat and Paul Vogel are trying as
best they can to support the work he and his fellow
soldiers are doing. But the Barrington residents are
finding it much more difficult to endorse Aaron's
commander in chief.

The Vogels accuse President George Bush of using
fabricated information about former Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein's ties with Osama bin Laden, the
mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
and Hussein's potential use of weapons of mass
destruction against the United States as the basis for
declaring war on Iraq.

"Our primary concern with the president is we feel
like a lot of bad decisions have been made leading up
to our son's and a lot of other troops' being
involved," Paul Vogel said.

Vogel just attended the funeral of a 40-year-old
reservist from Aaron's unit, a Wisconsin man who was
killed and whose three children are fatherless after
the truck he was driving in convoy was hit by a
rocket-propelled grenade.

To show their disdain, the Vogels have hung a sign
outside their business, Assured Staffing, on Main
Street, stating: "Proud of our soldier! Ashamed of our
president!" ---

Where's George? He's out GOLFING. He has no time for
funerals - THREE MEN DIED today - THREE AMERICAN
SOLDIERS. Men who served their country. BUSH has
DESERTED The Military THREE TIMES. First: When he went
AWOL for a year. That's Documented. Second: When he
allowed the Troops and Veterans to have their benefits
CUT, even while they are DYING in the field - Combat
Pay reduced from $250 to $100. And that's just the
start. Third: HE'S NEVER ATTENDED EVEN ONE FUNERAL OF
A SINGLE US SOLDIER KILLED IN IRAQ.

YOU call that a LEADER? We call it the COWARD FROM
CRAWFORD. The Yellow STAIN from Texas. He has NO
SHAME. Impeach this Crook. Get a REAL President in the
People's House. Send ALI BABA BUSH and his FORTY
THIEVES PACKING.
