Due respect to the guy, the letter, and the publicity it's getting, is pure liberal horsesh*t.

We only went to war in Iraq because of Bush's "thirst for wealth and power"?

How did Bush get richer by launching war? Specifics, please?

And the Bush-bashers would do well to look at the Senate vote to approve the war. That war was approved by senators Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, and Biden (among other liberal Democrats).

I recentl;y saw video of a speech Bill Clinton gave when Bush was president. In that speech, Clinton said that Hussein almost certainly had weapons of mass destruction. Bill Clinton says that, and yet the liberals still love him.

Bush wasn't a king, he didn't get us into that war unilaterally.

And when this vet signed up, his recruiter should have told him that you don't always get to pick your assignments. You go where they tell you to go.

Bush has a "hollow character"? Tell that to the estimated one million Africans whose lives were saved by Bush's AIDS plan, the most effective African relief effort in the history of our planet. Tell that to all the senior citizens who saved lots of money on presciption meds thanks to Bush.

Iraq is fair game to criticize. That doesn't mean Bush doesn't have a genuinely good heart.

Thoughts and prayers to that sad, wrongheaded, vet.
