Why can't we just state that GW is a good man, dedicated to our troops without the disclaimer "he did things I didn't agree with when he was President"? He isn't President anymore, he could be just making speeches and getting lots of attention and money like Clinton, but instead he chooses to actively participate in this event to honor those men and women who served so honorably and faithfully.
Sometimes I just don't get all the negativity that has wormed it's way into FR. Not you, by the way, but I just hear so much of it that I sometimes have to not look at the comments anymore.
