Sorry, I'm not seeing the reason for outrage either. And yet, I would be surprised if there is any republican out there that isn't making sure that everyone knows how incredibly outrageous this is. I would expect nothing less with an election coming up. They can't talk about Iraq, they can't talk about the economy, they can't talk about making the world safer. They can't talk about any of these without everyone realizing how full of crap they are.
They are about to lose their all-encompassing power and they are grasping furiously at any possible way to deflect the attention away from the real issues, the ones that they have failed miserably at. That's all this is, a smoke screen and feigned outrage at one line of a speech that had little to do with the troops and everything to do with their inability to do anything to fix the education system in this country, a system that is failing way too many of our kids, who graduate unable to read and write and can either go to Burger King or into the military.
Sorry, I'm not buying this outrage, no matter how many times the republicans stomp their feet and tell me this is despicable. What is despicable is that our fine soldiers have been turned into cannon fodder in a war that NEVER should have been started in the first place, by a bunch of guys who had better things to do when their country called on them.
