Narcissism, the Public, and the President

Further proof of what the GOP means by supporting troops. Veterans like myself hold Bush in utter contempt to begin with, but this latest statement of his shows utter disregard for the suffering he has inflicted. It has long been said that Bush is a sociopath, incapable of feeling any compassion for another human being. His actions and words are incomprehensible in the light of the havoc he has wrought. Ralph Nader once called Bush "a corporation masquerading as a human being." I wonder if that statement is too kind considering what a monster Bush is.
