Just noticed you were a Seabee. I worked with some Seabees in Afghanistan and at GTMO. They knocked my socks off and I've rarely been so impressed with any group of Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines. Now, whenever I run into a Seabee I just feel the need to pass on my respect your group as a whole. Thanks for the hard work you undoubtedly contributed.

Bush was not misled, Bush had no idea. Cheney pulled all the strings and made most, if not all of the decisions. Bush was on vacation for much of the year and much more of his presidency. 490 days during the first term, and 477 during the second. It's a fact. You can google it. Bush was failed businessman, who became a failure as president. What a legacy.
