From The Washington Post:
...Bush gives little sign of self-pity. At holiday parties for friends and family in recent days, he has found himself bucking up others depressed by the turn in his political fortunes. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks," he told one friend visiting the White House....
Our military has lost almost 3000 of our armed forces in Iraq, but "...it's not as bad as it looks." Really? Is President Bush being informed about what is happening in Iraq or is he choosing to ignore it? By dismissing the wounded, the casualties, and the daily horrific events in Iraq, this administration is not honoring their sacrifice. This war has created tragedies and so many families have suffered. It is time to bring our troops home.
