Once more the chowderhead in chief is reminding us of all the sacrifices everyone but he, his family and friends, will continue to make.

I do like the sound of the last (bolded) paragraph, though.

edited to add...recycle indeed. This has been a WH talking point at least since Feb. 2005, posted further down the thread.

WASHINGTON - President Bush warned Saturday of tough fighting to come and "more days of sacrifice and struggle" in Iraq as April drew to a close as the deadliest month for American forces this year

"The enemy is resorting to desperate acts of violence because they know the establishment of democracy in Iraq will be a double defeat for them," Bush said in his weekly radio address as he saluted the emergence of a permanent government.

"There will be more tough fighting ahead in Iraq and more days of sacrifice and struggle," he cautioned. "Yet, the enemies of freedom have suffered a real blow in recent days, and we have taken great strides on the march to victory."

With the war in its fourth year, Iraq hovers as a huge problem for Bush, whose approval ratings have fallen to record lows. Republicans are anxious that Iraq — along with other public concerns like soaring gasoline costs — will lead to the GOP losing control of one or even both houses of Congress in November.
