Should Bush make the call?

Question

As President, do you think Bush should be required (starting in June '07) to call the relatives of every soldier we lose in Iraq from June of '07 on until he leaves office, and let them know that their child has died in Iraq?

Maybe Dubya's not exactly seeing things from the perspective of a parent who has a child in harms way, and might need a little reminder???

Answer 1

Yes. And every coffin should be on every news broadcast and on every front page, along with a picture of the soldiers killed by Bush's hubris and ignorance.

Answer 2

Yes he should, but I would say I'm no Bush Fan either. If you look at more recent events such as 9/11 compared to all terrorist plots and assassination attempts since then, then I would say Bush was responsible for alot more killings than the 9/11 attack itself. What are we reaching now, About 3500-4000 american soldiers plus numerous innocent civilians that can't even be linked to 9/11. Now thats a waste. I have family members serving over there in Iraq and heard first hand the dissapointing facts that the US doesn't tell you. I say leave the poor people alone and alot of this senseless killing wouldn't be happening. If the Bush Clan would put as much effort into going after those responsible for 9/11, Bin Laden (If he exist) would be caught and done with. I believe he isn't being caught for a reason. If you add up the facts, then anyone with half a brain would see the same. I also say get the B*tt Head out of office before he really causes a major problem not only for us but the human race. I think Bush should be impeached, his betrayal out weighs anything Clinton ever thought of. If he was faced with the responsibilty of confronting parents and family members of downed men and women soldiers, I really don't think it would phase his conscience one bit. One thing people that back bush still don't understand is that those soldiers over there were sons, daughters, husbands, wives, mother father, brothers, and sisters long before this crap started over there.

Answer 3

Once again, you are doing the insurgents' bidding, my democratic friend.

Are you really so blind that you cannot see that simply killing or injuring a few soldiers here and a few soldiers there will not win a war? They are doing it because they know you will help win it for them by not having the stomach for it and running away.

Answer 4

Soldiers fight, sometimes when people fight they die. It's a fact, terrible as it may seem. How many people have joined the armed forces since 2003, fully knowing that there is a war going on and that they will go? Its not like people are forced to be in the volunteer military. The president has hundreds of thousands of his citizens in harms way, I don't think that is something you forget.

Answer 5

Hun, he's the Commander in Chief. He HAS spoken with the fallen's family...some of them. He's visited at the hospitals with recovering people.

He cannot look at them from a parent's perspective - as that is not his role. His role is to decide when we need to use them.

And to make sure they have what they need. With the money not coming, units are running out of money. Units that TRAIN PEOPLE TO GO TO IRAQ.

I guess that's what y'all want.

Answer 6

I think it would be better if the democratic majority would do it and explain to the parents why they will not just defund it, calling the president's hand, causing him to bring them home.

Answer 7

I guess Clinton , should call the Survivors from 9/11 give his
Condolences, after all his Lax Policy , gave us 9/11

Answer 8

I don't think Bush could handle it. He'd be a basket case in about a week.

But it's a damned good idea anyway..!

Answer 9

Good Idea but wouldn't happen.

Answer 10

absolutely YES! he should!
