Bush admits that he has never attended a soldier's funeral


This is a stupid reason. Everyone understands that no president has time to attend every funeral. It would be a waste of taxpayer money for goof-ball to fly all over the country to attend funerals, not that wasting tax payer money is an issue for him, at all.

If Bush had ever been a real soldier he would realize that honoring one, honors all.

Why not pick one a month, to attend?

My God, there are plenty to choose from.

'Stars and Stripes' Lands Exclusive, and Revealing, Bush Interview:

"NEW YORK When Stars and Stripes nabbed anexclusive interview with President Bush on July 4 -- aboard Air Force One -- it devoted most of the questions to ones submitted by service members.

One, put to the commander-in-chief by the newspaper's Jeff Schogol: Has he attended even one funeral for a fallen soldier from Iraq? No, he replied. 'Because which funeral do you go to? In my judgment, I think if I go to one I should go to all. How do you honor one person but not another?' he said.

A soldier now serving in Iraq asked how many times he would have to return to the war zone in the next five years. Bush said he did not know. 'The conditions on the ground will determine our troop levels, and one of the main conditions on the ground is the capacity for the Iraqis to take the fight to the enemy, and therefore it is very difficult for me to predict with certainty how many times this particular person would be sent back to Iraq,' Bush said, in the article published on Wednesday."
