Weapons found in Iraq NOT made and supplied by Iran afterall

Humm, the article does not go on to state just were then explosives came from. I wonder, when they turn out to be from the Missouri Army munitions plant will we invade Joplin?

I consider myself a left-ward leaning Republican.

I heard something this morning that just made me want the elections to come that much quicker. Bush said that he gave up golfing to show support for the troops in Iraq. How is giving up golfing showing support????

Had I not heard the news blip and the words coming out of his mouth I would not have believed anyone could be so stupid.

Well at least for now the Republican Party is the party of Stupidity. In addition both Bush and McCain acknowledge Global Warming. Haven't they read the latest papers? We're headed for the next Ice Age now. Get with it! Geeze!

I am sick of "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" being used as political action words. We should be taking good care of our planet, not for political reasons but because it is the right thing to do. The Lord blessed us with this wonderful planet. We shouldn't abuse it for that is a sin.. The only politician who has ever spoke on this matter with common sense is Mike Huckabee. Global Warming/Climate change is irrelevant. We should be doing everything we can to protect our planet and to keep it beautiful.

I thought it was incredibly noble of him, especially since his game needs work. It is stupid- I could understand if he gave up vacations, or donated his salary to causes that support the troops and their families....but golf?

It's the hardship of not being able to hang with his cronies, I guess. Apologies, but this man makes me absolutely sick. He is a constant embarassment as the world representative and "leader" of my country.

I can't agree more. Another corrupt country-club Republican. The GOP has tanked since Reagan left office. He brought his party to power kicking and screaming but when he won by a landslide they suddenly loved him. Reagan wasn't your usual Republican. Why? Cause he was a vertical politician and represented and appealed to Americans and not just Republicans. That's why a bunch of Democrats jumped on his back and rode him to power too. Once his time was done the GOP breathed a sigh of relief and brought forth W's daddy, a country club crony from the establishment. It makes me sick. And what makes me even sicker is that when the corrupt get caught corruption is replaced by socialism.

Golf = terrorism.

There is logic in what he said, essentially that he didn't want soldiers and families seeing pictures of him playing golf while they were out fighting.

And indeed, this is true. Every time over the last 5 years that Bush has done anything leisurely or lighthearted since the war began someone somewhere has raised the alarm about how could he possibly be out having fun while soldiers are dying.

There's just no way to say it out loud that doesn't sound very stupid and like he is creating an equivalence that he isn't.

So the best thing would have been to just not say anything. Especially since he appears to be having a Hillary moment about the last time he played golf.

The very definition of too little too late. He's blown through records for vacation days as President, it's a bit late to start giving up a couple rounds of golf to pretend like you actually care.
