Reply #57: Laughable, but not at all funny [View All]

Mr. President, there are more than 500 young American servicemen and servicewomen who fought and died in Iraq -- and they won't ever again laugh at any jokes.

Over 500 young Americans who won't comfort their parents' later years. Over 500 young Americans who won't ever again hold their children. Over 500 young Americans who didn't live to pass on the torch their teachers and coaches and ministers passed to them.

Over 500 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice on your say so, Mr. President.

They went to Iraq because they -- and Congress, and we, the American people -- took you at your word about the "Weapons of Mass Destruction", Mr. President. And to you safely back in Washington, it's all a joke, Mr. President. An amusing prop for you and the rest of the Washington elite to laugh at.

This administration may be laughable, but it's not funny anymore.
