Mr. Bush, have you seen this? When I think of the accomodation, catering, entertainment, supplied to U.S. forces in Iraq, and the money these things cost, and the benefit they bring to the Iraqi people, I am inclined to think: "Probably not".

not sure if you realize this but your beloved Kennedy was the guy who brought us the bay of pigs invasion , sent our boys to use napalm fire in Vietnam, and also ratched up the cold war in soviet countries. man of peace indeed.

also in case you haven't heard-- we still have the peace corps today. so i'm not sure what your point was except to bash president bush which is kind of beating a dead horse at this point, isn't it? way to point out the obvious, while getting the rest of it wrong.

Bush was more like Kennedy than Obama is. Lower taxes, supported the military, supported business, did not believe in high government intrusion into daily life ect. Analyze his beliefs, and you'll see for yourself.

@tronic99 Kennedy stood up to the Soviets, like he should have. We didn't do anything in Vietnam that the Viet Cong didn't do as far as atrocities go. And the Bay of Pigs was planned by Eisenhower and was supposed to have been implemented by Nixon when he won.
