Inauguration 2005

Is it correct to hold such an outwardly lavish festival celebrating "democracy" when US men are dying in the middle east? I think not, and Daily Kos actually got this one right.

Of course, Rush is issuing all sorts of excuses, such as the donations are private or that the implications are that Bush and Co. aren't spending anything on the military.

Well, in light of the recent Rumsfeld escapade and the shortages in armed vehicles, I'd emphatically say that no, the government is NOT spending ENOUGH on the military.

We are supposed to be a nation at war, and the soldiers are fighting on behalf of us. This amounts to nothing more than a giant snub and an insult to every serviceman and servicewoman in the military. "Look at us, we get to have parties while you suffer and die providing us the necessary security".
