Here’s where you post the photo of W when he first heard about the attack and the other photo of W at the site with NY fire fighters.

“Nevertheless, they are now seeing a different side of the former president.”

BS.. They are trying to use Bush in case it all goes bad so they have him to blame. Again!

Which, of course, it will.

I think we should let them build it where they want, let it fill up for prayers then blow the thing to hell.

Dear President George W. Bush,

Silence is Golden

Loose lips sink ships

Be seen, but not heard

Bush ought to come out and condemn the mosque that would get their panties in a wad.

American Conservatives are by now so used to being betrayed, that we can’t even register the kind of shock and outrage this suggestion would otherwise produce.
