Bush could have PARDONED these men and put a STOP to this nonsense right from the start. Supporting the war and supporting the troops does not mean one has to support bush. He has shown nothing but cowardice. He’s afraid of the media, he’s afraid of “world opinion”, and he’s afraid of his political opposition. . Instead of fighting to win this war he was more afraid of what the enemy would think. Our men had to die instead of carpet bombing Fallujah. Our men had to die instead of attacking mosques used as refuge by al-qaeda, our men have to hesitate in a firefight and die because he’s letting the lawyers, politicians and media second guess them. Bush throws men into battle and then lets our internal enemies hit them from behind as they face the enemy fire. A real commander in chief does not do this.
