Bush: "I understand the consequences [to the troops] first hand." Somebody amputated one of his limbs, and we didn't notice?

Froomkin:

"I've committed our troops into harm's way twice, and it's not a pleasant experience because I understand the consequences firsthand.

What does Bush know "first hand" about consequences to the troops, except when he's using them for props in a photo-op, serving them fake turkey, or prancing around a flightdeck in a jumpsuit?

He's such an asshole.

I feel good

I’ve committed our troops into harm’s way twice, and it’s not a pleasant experience

Funny, he was caught on camera right before his announcement of the invasion of Iraq saying, "I feel good." I guess "I feel good" means "it's not a pleasant experience." I frequently have problems understanding conservative speech.
