 From Wayne Madsen Report November 30, 2006: "A number of Washington observers who are familiar with the psychotic nature of George W. Bush reckon that what triggered Sen.-elect Jim Webb's anger at Bush's question about Webb's son's service in Iraq was the tone of Bush's question and not the question itself. Webb' son, Jimmy Webb, is a 24-year old Marine Lance Corporal serving in Iraq.
The interchange between Bush and Webb was at a White House reception for newly elected members of Congress:
Bush to Webb: "How's your boy?"
Webb to Bush: "I'd like to get them out of Iraq."
Bush to Webb: "That's not what I asked. How's your boy?"
Webb to Bush: "that is between my boy and me."
Webb, according to Washington sources, may have taken Bush's question about his son's welfare as some sort of veiled threat to Webb's son if Webb had any thoughts of becoming an anti-Bush firebrand in the Senate over the Iraq war. Based on what happened to NFL star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, Col. Ted Westhusing in Iraq, and others in uniform who questioned Bush's war, including death or injury from pre-planned "friendly fire," Bush's question may have been more of a reminder to Webb rather than a heartfelt question.
