Meanwhile, Elsewhere in Mr. Bush's "Culture of Life"

Besides two Marines getting killed in Baghdad with another two seriously injured from one car bomb, we get this from CNN:

A land mine exploded under a U.S. vehicle south of Kabul on Saturday, killing four soldiers in the deadliest incident for American troops in Afghanistan in almost 10 months, the military said.

You know, the Bush twins have been out of school for about 10 months now and the election is five months over. I know they're having a shortage of troops and I know how much Mr. Bush has said that we owe everything to the military (actually, we pay the Pentagon almost everything - they have a bigger budget alone than almost everything else in the government rolled together; and that was before 911)...

Well... Mr. President, I think it's only fair that the twins enlist.

One could go to Afghanistan and one could go to Iraq. You have no problem with lots of Afghans and Iraqis and some 170,000 combined American soldiers plus reservists/Guardsmen over there - you seem to think it's safe enough for them. So I'm sure it's safe enough for Jen and Barb. Oh, BTW, you might want to take up a collection for their body armor first (many soldiers' families have had to do that).

Trust me, Mr. Bush, they'll be fighting over the plum Afghan assignment because - in case you haven't heard, Mr. President - opium production is at astronomical levels (and that's AFTER Rush Lardass visited on our tax bill). Maybe they can send you back a little something so you can look happier on the Bamboozlepalooza Tour. You seem to get awfully sweaty for a man standing still even when outdoors in a cold state. It's almost like you suddenly started to realize that BS only feeds people for so long and the crowds are starting to get hungry.
