Has the war in Iraq been worth the 1052 lives lost?

[clydefrand]

Words from the mouth of Bush...when asked this question...his comments regarding his meeting with Missy Johnson:


And, you know, I think about Missy Johnson, fantastic young lady I met in Charlotte, N.C., she and her son, Brian. They came to see me. Her husband, P.J., got killed-been in Afghanistan, went to Iraq. You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can knowing full well that the decision I made caused her, her loved one to be in harm's way.


(Why is hard work to try to love her as best as I can...??)

Missy understood that. That's what she told me her husband understood. So you say was it worth it? It wasn't-it's-every life is precious. That's what distinguishes us from the enemy. Everybody matters.

(He admits above that "It wasn't...worth it? I'd say these two statements say a lot. It's hard work to love all those whose loved ones have died and he caused it and hell no, it wasn't worth it!!

1. Seems to me Kerry missed the slam dunk of the night here.

No one even mentions Bushes firm stand (as opposed to flip flopping) on reduction of VA health care $$$$'s, for disabled VET'S, while mangling another 7,200 in Iraq.

2. don't forget 7,000 wounded,

and more than 30,000 iraqis killed. and then there's the loss of respect from the entire world...
