Bush’s efforts after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."

Shame on them. |
On the other hand, you do not make a big deal when someone shoots a mad dog.
And that is what happened here. As my friend said, "they took out the trash".
Also, there is not much a bunch of fat politicians can do to honor men such as these seals. It is like a mouse honoring a lion.
