Bush ‘envious’ of troops’ ‘romantic’ work in Afghanistan

From the Carpetblogger:

I really wish the president wouldn’t say things like this.

In a videoconference, Bush heard from U.S. military and civilian
personnel [in Afghanistan] about the challenges ranging from fighting
local government and police corruption to persuading farmers to abandon a
lucrative poppy drug trade for other crops. […]

“I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly
younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience
to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.”



Oh crap. Not the "young democracy" bull**** again. His staff (or wife) needs
to slap him around and make him forget that word combination.
