He didn't. Maybe his reply should have been, "He's fighting in Iraq, moron. I guess he's still alive, dipshit."

That means that you are the same type of person that he is. Unable to speak to someone without trying to get a point across. You are not alone in here.:rolleyes:

Again, he could have just said, "He's alive."

Bush asked him a semi-personal question. It happened to relate to Iraq since his son was there.:ermm:

'He is fine. Thanks for asking,' would have been a more appropriate remark on a casual occasion.:)

Why would he do that? Why would he have to sugarcoat what he wanted to say?

Had webb replied, "I'm proud he's serving his country in Iraq" do you think Bush would have responded "That's not what I asked" ?

I'm guessing Bush would have said "well we're all proud of our men in uniform and appreciate their sacrifice".

Webb could have been a tad more diplomatic but that's not the way he is. Bush suffers the same problem and will only talk to those that disagree with him if cornered. This may be webb's only chance to tell the president what he thought.
