If, as some psychologists think, each of us lives our lives in accordance to a mental script we constantly write in our head. Bush bases his on B movie action flicks.

He is a moron -- and you guys should be ashamed of yourself for picking on him.
Ahhhh...never mind.
He is a moron and who gives a damn who picks on him.
As for his dressing up in military gear and daring the enemy to give him any noise -- I think we all would have been much more impressed if he went to fight when it was his turn.
Oh...did I mention that he is a moron?
He would garner a great deal of good publicity were he to dress in fatigues and motor around in the Gulf in a small boat like Kadafy did.
Bush
Reminds me of the boy acting macho while standing behind his big brother and daring someone to fight. His foot in mouth disease is flaring up again.
I dare ya, come on - bring 'em on, they'll take care of you good and fast - heah, don't do that, I'm the President and you can't say that to me, sniff, sniff!!!!!!!!
spoken like a true chickenhawk!!!!!!!
Remember: He's a jet pilot - of course his plane was on auto pilot while he cavorted on the ground somewhere.
Well, i didn't take the boy to raise, why am i to be burdened with his idiocy ?
SCOTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because your vote didn't count, set.
Ah, ya ol' teddy bear . . . yer just tryin' ta cheer me up, right?
A great entry, mamajuana -- but perhaps Dubya is daring the enemy to attack the White House. They won't find him as he will be disguised as a shrub.
I wish his comment wouldn''t be misconstrued as asking for Iraqi's to kill our soldiers. It was clearly not such.
I think it was accurately described as phony macho rhetoric. But I do not think it is something that should be used by Bush opponents. Thing is, to many soldiers and citizens that is the type of rhetoric they like to hear.
Yes, it is enjoyed by some, although i'll warrent not those in the line of fire, and certainly not those who care for them . . .
If you are a chickenhawk, and mama's boy - don't use John Wayne rhetoric. I didn't set him up - he did to himself! And yes, he did set up our soldiers -
Setanta,
Quite a few of those in the line of fire actually express happiness about that remark.
Ari put some really good spin on it by saying that the troops appreciate a president who supports them etc etc.
For these reasons I suggest Dems drop it as it is likely to come out in Bush's favor if they press the issue.
I'm not pressing the issue, CdK, so get down off you high horse. I doubt the provenance of your contention that "quite a few of those in the line of fire actually express happiness about that remark." But whether or not you could sustain it, it is exemplary of an attitude which does not partake of the righteous moral stance the administration took about "liberating Iraq." That so many troops remain in the line of fire seriously undermines the contention that we are making progress, doing anything good for Iraqis. And, as has been pointed out here in this thread more than once, it's pretty sickening to hear from a spoiled little **** who evaded Viet Nam by "service" in the guard, during which time it appears he was absent without leave for a considerable period of time. Republicans were all over Clinton about his failure to have served in Viet Nam. He didn't come out with horse apples like that when Americans were being killed in Mogadishu. It's a remark that one would expect form a high school student, not the chief magistrate of the most militarily powerful nation on earth.
The remark is indefensible.
