"Their mission: to comfort the families of soldiers who died fighting

Afghanistan and Iraq since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to lift
the spirits of those wounded in the service of their country. "

For example, Bush has written over four thousand personal letters of
condolence to the families of fallen soldiers.

Sorry if I don't get your take on this but I think it means they fully
understand what the
cost has been in human lives. I hope this post was positive and not a
criticism.

I would think that having the president or vice president actually
address a families loss
would be a comfort of a sort.

I think it speaks well of them,

Wes, I've supported GWB all along.
He's human, and thus flawed, but I think overall he's done a good job.
He is a committed Christian, and lives it every day.
History will treat him better than his contemporaries.

I ignore the Christian part, but I agree with the rest of your post
indeed.

Yeah, I agree with you guys too. Bush has been one of America's best
presidents, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are both successes, and the
tooth fairy is real.
