4. Actually, he said the deaths of our children are "worth it."

5. Exactly!

He said the "suffering" is worth it. I can't fully imagine the agony of losing a child or husband or wife in this war, and neither can Bush. I can't imagine going through the rest of my life without legs, or horribly disfigured by burns, and neither can he. So who is he to say "it" is worth it?

How dare he? How dare he demand the sacrifice of our children when he can't even define the goal?

Every leader who wants to wage war is faced with making the case for "why we fight". Bush hasn't even come close. Worse yet, he's destroyed his own credibility with continuously morphing rationales that have, one after another, been shown to be lies.
