Alligator Tears? Tears of Regret?

The President gets misty at the Medal of Honor ceremony.

Early in the day, in an emotional ceremony at the White House, Mr. Bush awarded he Medal of Honor to the family of Cpl. Jason Dunham, a marine from Scio, N.Y., who was killed in Iraq in 2004 when he threw himself on a grenade to save the rest of his unit. The president began crying during the ceremony. It was the second Medal of Honor proceeding to come out of the Iraq war.

I don't know why this seems slightly disingenuous to me. I'm usually not the type to speculate about whether even someone like the President is morally bankrupt enough to fake an emotional show at something as important as a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, but seriously, it's not like this death couldn't have been avoided. I think it's more likely that Bush's mind was on all of the young men that have died as a result of his obviously failed policies.
