Picture of the Day









President George Bush meets Sgt. Duane Dreasky, who was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, when the president toured the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio Jan. 1, 2006. Dreasky died from his injuries in July 2006. (AP Photo/White House Photo via the Flint Journal)

  • This just strikes me as so.... so... sick. Talk about using vets -- who have no say in the matter -- as a photo-op prop.

  • Yeah.

    What I'm finding more interesting is the White House pushing out all these photos of Bush with the wounded all of the sudden.

    HE's been visiting the wounded irregularly since 2003, but very few external photos have been allowed or released.

    Trust me, I've searched, and there were practically none out there except photos from the family side, and now that Bush is "contemplating" the White House seems to be pushing these out as some sort of effort to show that he knows about the casualties.

    It's really pretty awful.
