President Bush plays video games with injured soldiers
While the idea of wounded soldiers playing war games as part of their recovery process might seem a little strange, the use of simulated battlefields to treat sufferers of wartime Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has become more popular over the past few years.
According to a White House spokeswoman, one game allowed our Head of State to "shoot the bad guys" in a virtually rendered Baghdad neighborhood. The veterans were reportedly confused when President Bush made his character run away from the battlefield to hide in his father's ranch house for a year.

I know alot of people are going to disagree with me, but I don't feel Bush is the exact representation of a Nazi. Is he a bad president? Yeah. A nazi? Well I don't think so.
/sarcasm (just in case ephraim didn't get it...
If you're terribly wounded in a war HE started with no provocation...Then you own his f***ing ass up and down the amputee unit.
Then after your media "friendly" game session with the prez, you beat him physically with your prosthetic that used to be your leg before he decided to go into Iraq...
Sorry...does that answer it?...I think I gotta go lay down now.

If Dick Cheney were playing, he would teamkill everyone and keep "accidentally" shooting his teammates with the shotty.
Read a book once in a while.

Well they do actually. They lied, or was wrong about UMDs.. so yeah.. even longer story to that.. but that's enough right to get pissed that more are dying due to.. well.. lies.. or maybe they just had bad info.. call it what you want but they messed up.. and you seem to believe it's their fault, so they don't have any right for well.. anything that is justifiable.
Oh... lol other note..
We all voted for the war when we thought it was for something it was not. Then after we found out it was wrong WE CHANGED OUR MINDS!!(OH NOES!!)
I like when people attack flip flopping. I rather have a president that can change his mind, direction, point of view, tactics once he makes a bad decision, not stick to it like glue. And then people go marching behind bad decisions. Not open minded enough and then foxnews goes bashing open mindedness. Enjoy your bubbles and enjoy your foxnews.
I'm not sure if I have enough courage to go awol after witnessing what Nazis are capable of, but in this country, we'd like to think we are a just and righteous nation.

In reality it’s the conclusion of an argument, not the starting point so for a logic major it seems the use is thoroughly wrong. If you really wanna get technical you could say it's describing a logical fallacy.

Seriously, you can even check the WP page about the situation; you can basically type up the memo in Word with all the default settings, fax it once, and you have the exact document Rather got.
