Whatever, all the Bush one-liners leading up to it make it perfectly clear who he was talking about.
Actually all the Republicans jumping on this without hesitation may have unwittingly shot themselves in the foot here. At first glance it may seem like a nice distraction or some red meat for the base, however in focusing in on it they're bringing up a subject many of them are trying desperatly to avoid right now, the war in Iraq. You can't talk about "the troops" without talking about "the war".
Time will tell.
And why on earth do you think we are trying to avoid Iraq? National security is our Strongest issue, and thats with our economy at full employment.
And besides, its the base that wins election. That is why the Democrats have been trying to suppress the Republican base. The only way they can hope to win is if we dont show up.
