Does George W. Bush Support the Troops?
"Support Our Troops" (or, in some cases, "Pray for Our Troops") stickers adorn every other car in the country these days. Many, if not most, of those proudly announcing their support for not just the troops but the war effort are also proud supporters of the man in charge of the war, George W. Bush. Bush clearly supports the troops. See this L.A. Times article, for instance, in which we learn that
Bush administration lawyers urged the Supreme Court on Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit against Iraq brought by U.S. pilots and soldiers who were captured and tortured by Saddam Hussein's regime during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, saying the president believed it could hurt the rebuilding effort in Iraq.
See, the money isn't Saddam Hussein's anymore. Now it's George Bush's--and our great wartime president ain't about to give up a single dime of it to people who fought in his father's assault on Iraq.

I wonder if the families of the people the ex-POWs bombed and strafed could counter-sue them for the deaths, injuries, and destruction of their property as well? Fair is fair.
