When President Bush entered Lance Cpl. Chad Watson's hospital room, the young Marine wanted to stand and shake his hand.
Just standing is quite a feat when you have just one leg and your foot is in a cast.
Supporting himself on a walker, Watson reached out his hand but immediately lost his balance and grabbed the walker.
"The second time I went off balance again," said Watson, 23. "My brother (Brandon) saw what I was trying to do and grabbed me under my arm. That stabilized me enough to shake the president's hand."
Surrounded by family members, Watson stood upright as a fellow Marine read his Purple Heart commendation, and the president pinned the medal on his blouse.
"It was all his upper body strength," said his father, Mike Watson. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house."
Then, the president said, "Lance Cpl. Watson, I command you to sit down."
"With a smile on his face, of course," Watson said.
Mike and Gina Watson said the president and first lady Laura Bush spent about 15 minutes with their family, which included Brandon, a Mount Zion High School sophomore, and Amy, a sophomore at Northern Illinois University. His other sister, Lindsey Damery, a nurse who helped Chad Watson tremendously while hospitalized, was unable to attend.
When Chad Watson asked the president if he had a few minutes to sign autographs for his siblings, he replied, "I'll sign all day for you."
A three-star general in the president's entourage told Chad Watson that he planned to tell the Marine commandant that a young Marine who was missing one leg, with the other injured, had made the effort to stand for the president.
"That is something I am most proud of," Chad Watson said.

If he did, then the families of the people who didn't die in terrorists attacks in he last four years should thank him. And the people of Iraq who weren't tortured to death by Saddam in the last four years can thank him. And the women in that country who are now treated like people and not livestock can thank him. People in this world have so much to thank GWB and the American military, why would you pick such a question to ask? How low are you in your life to ask the one negative out of a field of positives? And what about the 50 to 75,000 solders who didn't die in a traditional four year war. Should they thank him?

will Billiard apologize to the Delta and Rangers he left out to dry in Mogadishu? How about the sailors and Marines that died aboard the USS COLE?
Kobar Towers?
Perhaps Bill, Aspen, Berger, and Albright should go to Rwanda and apologize for the MILLIONS that were slaughtered there?
******* moronic tripe

He did to my friends. HE initiated it. 45 minutes alone with the President and the First Lady. They *knew* the Secret Service was around, but never saw them.

Dude, the war sucks - no doubt. But in all honesty, compared to other conflicts lasting this long - there aren't many casualties. Let's be thankful that Geroge really DID go after the weakest link. I mean, better Iraq then say South Korea....a country that would actually FIGHT back.

Did Clinton apologize personally to the families of the people killed in the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania?

first you have to admit your mistakes. Then take full responsibility for them before you can look at those faces of the families and apologize.
I am hoping beyond hope that he would at the very least hat the President would do that much because of him the killing of their sons/daughters for a war that was started on a bunch of lies.

Bush see's the American soldiers the same way he sees the innocent Iraqis that have been killed; ...collateral damage. They're numbers that add up to oil and greater wealth for his corporate buddies. That's all.
