George W Bush to Barbara Walters, ABC "20/20," 12/13/02

"There's only one person who is responsible for making that decision , and that's me. And there's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids on the death of their loved ones. Others hug, but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug, and that's me, and I know what it's like."

Family of soldier displaying outrage toward president

With their 23-year-old son serving as an Army reservist in Iraq, Pat and Paul Vogel are trying as best they can to support the work he and his fellow soldiers are doing. But the Barrington residents are finding it much more difficult to endorse Aaron's commander in chief.

The Vogels accuse President George Bush of using fabricated information about former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's ties with Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and Hussein's potential use of weapons of mass destruction against the United States as the basis for declaring war on Iraq.

"Our primary concern with the president is we feel like a lot of bad decisions have been made leading up to our son's and a lot of other troops' being involved," Paul Vogel said.

Vogel just attended the funeral of a 40-year-old reservist from Aaron's unit, a Wisconsin man who was killed and whose three children are fatherless after the truck he was driving in convoy was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

To show their disdain, the Vogels have hung a sign outside their business, Assured Staffing, on Main Street, stating: "Proud of our soldier! Ashamed of our president!" ---

Where's George? He's out GOLFING. He has no time for funerals - THREE MEN DIED today - THREE AMERICAN SOLDIERS. Men who served their country. BUSH has DESERTED The Military THREE TIMES. First: When he went AWOL for a year. That's Documented. Second: When he allowed the Troops and Veterans to have their benefits CUT, even while they are DYING in the field - Combat Pay reduced from $250 to $100. And that's just the start. Third: HE'S NEVER ATTENDED EVEN ONE FUNERAL OF A SINGLE US SOLDIER KILLED IN IRAQ.

YOU call that a LEADER? We call it the COWARD FROM CRAWFORD. The Yellow STAIN from Texas. He has NO SHAME. Impeach this Crook. Get a REAL President in the People's House. Send ALI BABA BUSH and his FORTY THIEVES PACKING.
