Is that a joke by any chance? Surely the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief didn't say

Quote:
"I know the folks on our end didn't drop the ball," Bush said. "The civilian oversight of this war and the plan of attack has been brilliant. There's no doubt about that in my mind. Hate to say it, but maybe our men and women in uniform just aren't what they're cracked up to be."

The source is the Onion.

You think maybe he drinking or snorting again or something? How in the world can he ever get in front of the military again or for that matter any of the republicans since this will rub off on them (like it or not) and talk about our "great men and women in uniform?"

Embarrassed No, never have read the Onion and obviously didn't know it was satire. (never even heard (read) the word until I came here.) Live and learn I guess. Good thing I am used to getting embarrased. (Should have caught on with the wink and then when drew dad said "moment." Embarrassed Embarrassed)

Some very dark humour. Lets hope it wont be prophetic in some way or other..

(I mean, of course Bush wont ever say any of these things.. but who knows when he'll end up blaming the army leadership for the failure of his administration's plans.)
