 A Day That Will Live in Infamy: President George W. Bush Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln |
In light of the ongoing bloodbath in Iraq, VanRamblings thought it appropriate to post this video by Jason Woliner of Jason for America.
As you may recall, President George W. Bush attended the Radio and Television Correspondent’s Dinner on March 24, and made a few jokes about the failure of his administration to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Some might consider his jokes to be in poor taste, when soldiers and civilians are dying for his mistakes. The video referred to above provides a wake-up call as to the human costs of the war in Iraq.
VanRamblings would also like to point out, as others have, that the commentary by Bush at the dinner does not constitute an isolated incident from his Administration — a random incidence of bad taste. The White House, and the Republican Party in general, tends to pride themselves on being the party of national security (remember Bush’s photo-op on the USS Abraham Lincoln—see above—where he dressed in a flight suit to declare victory in the war?). The actions of the Bush administration, however, consistently show them to have little or no respect for the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families.
