Bush marks ‘day of sadness’ for the nation; Iraq war families still waiting for similar tribute
So here's the thing: Bush traveled to Virginia to comfort the families of the victims killed in yesterday's shooting. But in the 4+ years of the Iraq war, has he attended one single funeral or similar tribute to our fallen fighting men and women? Nope.
Ever wonder why?
No. They’ve done their best to try to make it look like a cost-free policy from the get. It’s one reason no one (except The Followers) takes them seriously when they spout their existential threat crap.
It also sets a bad precedent – which funerals don’t deserve his respects.
Hey, he finally went across the river to Virginia without it being a campaign stop. Clostest to Arlington he's been in a while.
The Motorcade had to drive right by it.
