I saw another picture from the same 'photo op' (and that is what this is) at Ron Paul forums last night; and I was praying someone else would stumble across this and post it here. Here's a link to the picture I saw. Only Ron Paul will put an END to this crap.

Bush plays video games with recovering war veterans Published: Friday November 9, 2007
US President George W. Bush had a shoot-out with the "bad guys" in Iraq on Thursday, playing a computer game with war veterans that simulates a firefight in Baghdad, the White House said.
Bush tried his hand at the game with two soldiers during a visit to a rehabilitation center in Texas that treats veterans wounded in Iraq.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush helped "shoot the bad guys" in a Baghdad neighborhood, albeit virtually.
She said the president saw several "cutting edge virtual reality games" that allow recovering soldiers at the center in San Antonio to simulate riding in a car or boat.
Apart from the computer game session, Bush's visit with badly wounded soldiers was often emotional as he spoke with patients who had lost limbs or suffered severe burns in the Iraq war.
Earlier, Bush said his administration had taken steps to improve flawed health care services for returning veterans.
"Our system needs to be modernized," Bush said. "We have an outdated system that can bog down some of those recovering in a maze of bureaucracy."
I say damned near because I DO have SOMETHING thing to say.
HOW, just HOW, can ANYONE see this and continue proceeding to pay ONE CENT in income taxes which continue to pay the interest on the loan TheStateInc gets from the Fed to continue this carnage (thereby assuring TSI will CONTINUE to be able to get that funding) - KNOWING we shouldn't have ever been there in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE?
Some things aren't worth funding, regardless of the possibility of consequently being incarcerated.
I'm not God, and that's probably a GOOD thing, because IF I were, I would judge the actions of those paying in to "keep out of hot water" as making the statement of HERE'S MY STAMP OF APPROVAL

I just posted a link to the Ron Paul rally currently being streamed over the net...it might make you feel a bit better. They are all singing the 'Star Spangled Banner'.

Did you see the T-shirt Smirk was giving this poor kid?
I guess tastelessness ties in with bush's carefully crafted 'good ole boy' image, although my guess is the poor taste is the only part that doesn't have to be feigned. t-shirts and video games - it's all so much fun!
my heart aches for that kid. seeing him, I understand the power of the specious argument that if we leave iraq now, what happened to him was for nothing. I can see it from his and his family's point of view. unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that it was for nothing - nothing for him or you or me anyway. this photo op sickens me. it sure looks like squeezing a little bit more usefullness out of this kid and others like him before we discard them and move on to the next batch.
OMG, he's giving this young victim a warmongering T-shirt with a lie on it; "Operation Freedom".
Actually it looks more like the vet is giving it TO Bush, since it references a particular military unit.
Those maimed in Iraq would naturally want to believe their sacrifice was for a worthy cause. It would be/will be too painful for them to know otherwise.

yeah, and that's the problem. to assure them, we create more like them, and on and on it goes. this administration is hugely talented at putting forth the idea that if you don't want to see more kids like this, then you're dissing this kid. it's all in the framing.
After this visit, if Bush was any kind of a sentient human being the next time Norman Podhoretz came into to his office agitating for more War for Israel Bush would reach for a revolver and Podhoretz would be carted off in a body bag.
