CATPAW'S 3RD BLOG
Speaking by videoconference with U.S. military and civilian personnel in Afghanistan about the challenges posed by war, corruption, and the poppy trade, the president unleashed this comment: I know a lot of you are faster than I am and have probably all ready read this Presidential wisdom. I just ran across it and I am....well, I don't know how to react. For a President, Vice President and Secretary of Defense who have never been in combat, that is a mouthful. I don't think they have any children who are "romantically" involved with Afghanistan or Iraq. Yeah, George, real exciting and romantic. 3 comments from 3 users

McCain knew how to react: "Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war."

Only the elite would say something like that. The elite does not know the common man; the common man bleeds for fellow man, to help make them free, not dream of glory and the such. posted by

catpaw: I know the President is far from articulate, is not quick on his feet, is not a good spontaneous speaker, but it's still hard to believe he said that. Was there something from which it could have been taken out of context. I hope so.
