why isn't George P Bush (Jeb's son) in Iraq? If it is a war for our

[democrat in Tallahassee]

freedom, shouldn't he be there?

[SammyWinstonJack]

1. Are you kidding?

He is a favorite son! A bush! The chosen one after his uncle and his daddy! The brown baby! The bush elite never actually serve they only steal!

[Nashyra]

2. Great question to send the press

If this is our war how come none of the *'s kids are there. The twins have finished college, hell there father could pull strings to get them in the guard, then at least they would have to serve. I bet hostilities would end real soon if they were to be deployed.

3. "He has other priorities than military service"

Getting a trophy wife.

Making money by using his talents as a lawyer to enrich corporations.

Preparing to screw the next generation with the next Bush Administration.

Military service? Oh good heavens no, that's for the little people.

[liberalhistorian]

4. Well, because he has more "important" things to do, like

use his legal skills to help corporations screw their customers and the rest of the little people! And why aren't the Shrubbie twins in Iraq, also???? Of course, it's always easier for these people to send other people's kids, especially lower-income kids, to do their dirty work for them.

And then there's poor, privileged Noelle Bush, who, if she were anyone other than a Bush, would have been locked up in jail and the key thrown away with no ifs, ands, or buts; you'd have thought that would have happened anyway since the Bushies love to talk tough on drugs and drug users, but I guess it's different when it's your own children. They then demand the "privacy" for a "private, family matter" and for "concern and sympathy and understanding" that they so generously refuse to extend to other families.

But we do have to be careful here, though. If we're going to ask these kinds of questions about Bush's daughters and the other draft-age Bushies, we'd better be prepared for the same thing to be thrown back at us. In other words, it'd be fair game for people to ask Kerry why HIS daughters aren't in Iraq, and to ask the same thing of Edwards about HIS daughter who just graduated from college. It really does work both ways. And when Kerry voted for the Iraq Resolution, was he thinking of sending his own daughters as well as someone else's kids?

[smirkymonkey]

10. Because Kerry and Edwards' daughters will actually

make something of themselves and contribute to humanity.

The Bush spawn, on the other hand, are a threat to the civilian population and should be hauled off to war so they can experience first hand the source of their family's ill-gotten wealth and the misery that inflicts upon others.

[B Calm]

5. The Bush Twins should be a model for all republican college

grads and join the Natonal Guard!

[stavka]

6. We aren't at war....

We are in a shopping center security guard vs shoplifter/vandal situation at best. It doesn't even warrant a police action (too hard on the economy and social structure)

Too bad it's so deadly.

[chelsea0011]

7. Just once I would like to any press person say to any 20 something

fully in support of the lying, murdering President. If you like it so much why don't you fuck*** enlist you yellow pondscum. And that goes to the Bush family, not just the poor middle class.

[vetwife]

8. Why isn't his nephew? Because chickenhawks make war not fight them !

Barbara does not want to mess up her beautiful mind? Isn't that what the Mother of Satan said?

[azval]

12. I agree

I agree about Chickenhawks, except they also ensure no one they know will have to fight them either. Well, except maybe the housekeepers son.

[newyawker99]

13. Hi azval!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ikojo]

9. He's from a rich family and the rich no longer

feel obligated to serve their country in the military. Wealthy people like Kennedy (who might have been drafted, I don't know) and Kerry who enlisted, are very few and far between in the US of A. Fighting wars are for those who weren't born in the upper 10% of the income bracket.

[Pallas180]

11. which would be better?

to refuse to go and fight for the dimwit, and spend a year in jail,

or go to Iraq or Iran or Syrria or North Korea and maybe get killed?

If everyone or a lot refused to go, he couldnt make wars.

Bye bye empire.

he's building an army of mercenaries anyway.

Asked Congress for 660 million to hire a "World Peace Army" that will
be ready to go anywhere at a moment's notice for the G-8

Maybe this is the best thing that could happen. Chirac and Schroeder
are part of G - 8 and have seen his non cooperation - greediness to
keep all of rebuilding Iraq for his bud's companies.

Maybe they won't go along with G-8 ing countries for his empire anymore.
