Bush performs another stunt - avoids war dead:

President Bush flew From Waco to Baghdad for a surprise visit. In case you are wondering, the distance (one-way) is 7319 miles.

How is it Bush can find time for a flashy performance, yet not be able to attend even one funeral of the war dead?

What's next? Getting aboard a submarine for a trip to the Persian Gulf? A balloon ride over Tora Bora?

Face it. Bush is merely this thing that Karl Rove has dressed up in the uniform-of-the-moment and sends out to look martial. Really, it's not too different from what they did in the era of kings and nobility. Then, total incompetents donned suits of armor and were made the subject of paintings, woodcuttings, and coins.

All hail the 21^st Century King!
