You'd think that he would have spent his vacation figuring out something - anything! - to get Iraq under control ASAP; especially when we have brave soldiers getting hurt and killed every other day.

You'd think Iraq was too important to put off until after his vacation.

So why did he spend his vacation on the golf course and in photo ops with his cabinet? Why didn't he use his vacation more constructively?

Of course Republican sycophants will ask me how I know Bush didn't do any of that. Well, if he did, we would have heard from other countries, the UN and/or from Bush himself that support, money and/or troops were on their way (after the bombing, the UN is PULLING OUT most of their staff!). But we haven't heard a word.

Imagine what the GOP would be screaming if Clinton or Gore sat on their hands while our men and women were dying in Iraq!

Or they'll tell me that gaining support "takes time." But our troops are in real danger NOW, so there is no time to lose!

I knew Bush was a dope who couldn't lead a pack of Girl Scouts out of the mall. But his inaction is a disgrace and a slap in the face to every soldier in Iraq.
