So George. What or who have you sacrificed in Iraq?

[cornermouse]

You said Iraq is worth the sacrifice. I'm curious to see what you think you've sacrificed...

[KG]

1. nobody is sacrificing much of anything in this country

least of all those with thier ridiculous 'support the troops' ribbons magnets on thier gas sucking SUVs.

[cornermouse]

6. Anyone with a family member in Iraq is sacrificing their peace of mind

while taking the chance that they will lose that family member.

Somehow, I don't think George is in danger of either one of these things.

12. i am one of those people with a family member in iraq.

and i know that my nephew isn't there 'fighting terroism', or 'protecting our freedoms', he's there to babysit carpet baggers and war profiteers.

5. I listened a bit to Jerry Springer yesterday, and he had a great

point - a point that mirrors yours in some ways, and a point I'd be willing to discuss with those who support * unconditionally:

If your son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter, were asked to fight in this war, and if he or she ended up dying, would it be worth it?

Jerry talked about how he was happy that the Iraqis "could vote," but that he is unwilling to have someone he loves DIE so the Iraqis could vote. That's a sacrifice that isn't worth *'s "mission." He was absolutely on target.

edited for clarity (and I hope I succeeded!)

9. Well, I don't watch Springer, but he's right.

I am not willing to give up a family member for this mess.

10. For the sake of clarification,

I didn't/don't watch him either - he was on AAR, and I listened while driving yesterday :)

11. Chimpy didn't sacrifice anything...

...nor did his rethug cronies. They did nothing but gain--defense contracts, continuation of oil supplies and profits, huge contributions to their coffers.

13. He sacrificed every ounce of America's integrity to get this damn war n/t
