Even the military hates Bush these days

I swear, Bush just has something to goad everyone, even the Republicans. For the fiscal conservatives, there's that ballooning budget and deficit. For Christian conservatives, Bush isn't right-wing enough because abortion is still legal. And now, he's ticking off the military by depleting their resources on this misguided war in Iraq. (Not to mention cutting veteran benefits.)

Some are formally criticizing him:

And ... another bullet in the gun the military's loading for Bush:

There's a pointed quote from a Republican defense industry bigwig about why he won't vote for Bush again in this one. In a word: Nine-Eleven.

With his base of support thus eroding, Bush might as well just go back to losing money in the oil business. At least he was GOOD at that.
