Bush's golf claim angers veterans

George Bush has angered US war veterans by declaring that out of solidarity with those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq he decided to make his own sacrifice: giving up golf.

In an interview with the Politico website, the president said he took the decision because of the war. "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

Brandon Friedman, a veteran US infantry officer who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, told the Press Association: "Thousands of Americans have given up a lot more than golf for this war. For President Bush to imply that he somehow stands in solidarity with families of American soldiers by giving up golf is disgraceful. It's an insult to all Americans and a slap in the face to our troops' families."

Friedman, who is vice chairman of the US veterans' organisation VoteVets, added: "It shows how disconnected he is from everyday Americans, especially those who are serving in Iraq."

Bush said he laid down his clubs after the August 2003 bombing of United Nations offices in Baghdad that killed the UN's top official in the country, Sergio Vieira de Mello. "I remember when de Mello got killed as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life. I was playing golf - I think in central Texas - and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, 'It's just not worth it any more'."

According to a database held by CBS News the statement is not entirely accurate. He did cut short a round of golf at the 12th hole on that day, but his last recorded game came two months later, October 13.

It is really nice of him to make that huge sacrifice .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fuck is he dumb...

But wasn't he playing golf or something when they first invaded, err, liberated Iraq?
I'm thinking of a Michael Moore-type documentary (if not Moore himself) showing him teeing up ... :helpme

Yeah instead he'll practice skit shooting and sip cold beer at his ranch.

What a Fucking Dumbass

i can feel him...i love golf so much..that it would feel like a sacrifice not to play

but saying it in public is dumb..lol

actually you missed what he was trying to say.
i am no fan of bush at all but he was trying to say that it doesn't look right if he has fun playing golf while soldiers are dieing. he didn't want to give the impression he was not giving a shit.
we know he doesn't but at least he is making an effort to show as if he does.

Im sure he plays on a closed course all the time knowing the press isnt around to film it. Im sure it will come out after he has left his path of destruction in the oval office.

Bravo. Mr.President! I salute you for that sacrifice.. :Oh crap
