Besides how immature it sounds, isn't that statement inviting terrorists to kill American marines and Americans in general?

No it is not. A president should carry himself as a well educated upstanding person therefore avoiding phrases that would make him seem otherwise. Maybe they don't teach speach classes at Yale. We wonder why other countries have lost respect for us... It also helps that you don't laugh and crack jokes at every press conference, not saying you can't have fun, but there's a difference between being smart savvy and funny and looking rediculous.

Well, I didn't really think it was a worthy remark from a President, but what can you do? I heard a lot of unworthy remarks from a President from January 1993 to January 2001, too.
But Bush is a plain-spoken man; he will never be remembered as a great and stirring orator. He says what he feels. And he tells the truth, which I appreciate more than all the flowery phrases of a liar. As Democrat Bob Kerrey said, "Clinton's an unusually good liar. Unusually good."

Not really, but it was funny. You must have missed the joint press conference he had with Blair a few months ago where he very humbly apologized for that and a few other terms he'd used.
It actually showed he has some maturity, which is more than could be said for some of his critics.

Don't blame George, he is only reading speeches written by some one else. He has to look good when he speaks and the writers thought that would make him appeal to the "Beat 'em up" crowd. It is hard to make a speech that pleases everyone. He does need to take acting lessons though, Then he could be more believable.

hummm
well, they did.
stop making excuses for the man. He is a Lame Duck. Soon he will be gone. Everything he has said and done will go to the recycle bin. He'll be seen in the history books as both a buffoon and a statesman, depending on who is charged with preparing his bibliography.
Bye prez

Indeed this is the fact. To have a world leader encase his language in your pejorative terms is not good not just for him but the country he represents.
We deserve better right?

That's such a freakin turn-off to hear a man who started a
war to say that. Gross!
There are things I would personally like to bring to him,
but I'm afraid I'd go on a rant.

Is "I FEEL your pain!" a good thing for the president of the United States to say?

Well it is rather childish and challenging. He is the decider though and he obviously decided this would be a good thing to say. I mean I just wonder how many innocent soldier died because of that comment.
