White House: U.S. deaths are 'cost' of winning

About this winning thing George...

Every repub/democratic official that supports this war should volunteer their kids. Let them 'pay' something like the kids of the plebians are.

Aside from being a stupid, insensitive thing to say I think Tony Snow just screwed the pooch from the politicl calculus perspective.

What a bone headed thing to say two weeks before an election when the war is issue number one.

The White House appears to be in meltdown.

I doubt it, he is too busy campaigning for cheap rw politicians.

Send the freaking chickenhawks. Tell them to visit the nearest recruiter if they`re so fond of Bush`s big winning streak. I`m so sick of this I could scream. BRING THE TROOPS HOME!

Mission Accomplished.

but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make

in the Whitehouse?:sarcasm:

That's why I love DU!

:hi:

What I can't understand is why the whole of America isn't shouting
about this? We're not talking about some loud-mouthed talk radio jerk
making a dumb statement, we have the *official Whitehouse spokesman*
saying "Tough shit, we don't care".

Why aren't there calls for that prick's resignation?

Why isn't that quote being shouted high & wide to show the callous
lack of interest in casualties?

:wtf:

:eyes:

"surrender" so that this "war" will end?

But by god, they'll put 6-7 'Support the Troops' decals on their cars, if that's what it takes!

WE'RE NOT "WINNING"!!!!!!!! :grr: :mad:

If this is winning, I would hate to see what Losing is in Iraq....

desperation'?

that the insurgency was in its last throes!

Could it be that Dick was lying?? My God. :sarcasm:

Let's say we line up, oh, hell, a couple hundred thousand American soldiers, fine men and women in combat uniform, officers, non-coms, grunts, and we put them on TV. Then George W. Bush walks in with a loaded glock. Now let's say that the President puts the gun to the temple of the first soldier and says, "If I shoot this Army private dead, there's a chance America will be victorious and democracy will bring peace to Iraq. Do you want me to do it?" There's no guarantees, though - just the chance. What would you say? For the sake of argument here, let's say that you answer, "Yes, it's worth a soldier for the chance for peace in Iraq." So George W. Bush shoots the soldier in the temple and turns to his advisors, who check reports and, no, still no peace.

Then the President says, "If I cut off one limb or the genitals of the next ten soldiers, there's a chance America will be victorious and democracy will bring peace to Iraq. Do you want me to do it?" What would you say? For the sake of argument here, let's say that you answer, "Yes, it's worth ten wounded soldiers for the chance at peace in Iraq." So George W. Bush cuts off arms, legs, testicles, and turns to his advisors, who check reports and, no, still no peace.

Then the President says, "If I beat the next ten soldiers in the head with a hammer so that their brains are damaged, there's a chance America will be victorious and democracy will bring peace to Iraq. Do you want me to do it?" What would you say? For the sake of argument here, let's say that you answer, "Yes, it's worth ten brain-damaged soldiers for the chance at peace in Iraq." So George W. Bush uses a hammer to crack the skulls of the next ten soldiers and turns to his advisors, who check reports and, no, still no peace.

Then the President starts the cycle all over again. He places the gun to the temple of the next soldier. How many soldiers would you let George W. Bush shoot dead? One? 3000? More? How many would you let him injure? 10? 20,000? More?

So far, we're approaching the 3,000 dead mark on this grisly little exercise. But Tony Snow says that each and every last one of the dead supported the president. He can say this with confidence because none of them have come back to object.

Where does a spokesman for AWOL Boy get off giving advice about waging war?

It wouldn't sound quite so hypocritical if Shit-for-Brains had done what was expected of him during the Viet Nam Era. He took an oath as an officer in the US military to defend the country against its enemies and when it came time for him to do so he cut and ran like a scared rabbit. His position today is much the same.... It's ok for someone else to die but just leave me out of it. He probably got his intestinal fortitude from his old man. The Navy pilot who ditched (cut & ran) to save his own ass and let his crew drown.

Oh that's right I forgot, it's the Oil, and World Power, and World Domination Seig Heil!!! :sarcasm:

American's life."

They have NO SOULS, they are the worst that OUR country has to offer. May they NEVER rest in peace.

November is coming, the winds are changin! PAY Back as they say is a BITCH!

War crimes and Impeachment absolutely, nothing less for Bushit and his merry band.

I'm confused. What happens when we "win?" What will it look like? How will things be different?

Except a few rich puppets

What mission? What is the fucking mission in which they believe?

once great nation.

what a pathetic little shit

ran. The only "mission" these repuke assholes are interested in is how to reap the biggest profit off the misery and suffering of others. Pure evil.

the fools in charge are truly fools.

Ok, take this quote "Spokesman Tony Snow says Bush's "strategy is to win" and "that comes at a cost." Winning might be a goal, but it's not a strategy. Only the person paying the price can determine if the cost was worth it. They are so very casual about destroying people, and countries, in order to get what they want. This is the worst president, and the worst administration, ever to disgrace America.

I seriously hate these people.

As long as they are not their own kids, what's the problem?

I can't recall him ever mentioning them. It's as if they are not even a remote factor in this war, and that burns me up. :grr:

only to the little people.

Cheney says it's going well!

A lot of soldiers join not because of an undieing love and dedication to the U.S., but because in this rich versus poor economy the military is a secure steady source of income. These people are not rich or else they wouldnt join the military. Sad but true.

I bet he curls up in the fetal position and cries himself to sleep.

Let's hand all these fascist bastards over to the Iraqi Resistance so we can watch them expound some more about the costs.

Then take your pampered a$$es over there and die for the big "win" if you believe in it so much. :grr:


(Not that I believe we're winning anything, but they seem to.)
