As reported in the Washington Post, Terry Rodgers, who lost buddies and was himself severely wounded when his Humvee was hit by an IED, refused to see Bush during a hospital visit.
""I don't want anything to do with him," he explains. "My belief is that his ego is getting people killed and mutilated for no reason -- just his ego and his reputation. If we really wanted to, we could pull out of Iraq. Maybe not completely but enough that we wouldn't be losing people -- at least not at this rate. So I think he himself is responsible for quite a few American deaths."
That won't hit CNN, but it's the truth: nobody knows better than the grunts and the Gold Star families just how specious this war is.
