Bush: Iraq "Will Merit the Sacrifice"

… as long as it's you making the sacrifice and not him. With the Bush family, afloat in a river of oil money, Bush insisted yesterday, after the announcement that more than 4,000 Americans had now lost their lives in his war, that the families of those who had died will sometime in the distant future believe that their losses were merited. Just why they would think so wasn't clear, but it is certainly easy to see why he thinks so.

What GW had to say three years ago: "In terms of timetables, as quickly as possible—whatever that means. No, I am going to—one of the things that I think is very important for people to understand is that I believe that we have a duty to work on big problems in Washington, D. C., and so I'm going to continue working on this. And it's, I guess—I'm not going to go away on the issue, because the issue is not going to go away." — George W. Bush, Washington, D. C., March 2005.

I'm sure that makes everything clear. And you wonder why the man was such a failure at business.
