Boehner: Victory in Iraq....."for our kids" ???WTF???
"Retreat is not an option in Iraq," declared House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. "Achieving victory is our only option, for the American people and our kids."

This quote just boils my blood. I HATE HATE HATE when any politician hides behind children to justify something.

ARGGGGGHHHH. This *ahem* War debate was so mindless and so worthless.

I had a nightmare last night about Iraq. I dreamt of corpses in concrete rubble. I woke shaken and disturbed. I thought of my own wife. My own 11 year old son. I think of all the thousands of lives Bush** & Co have shattered. The damage they have wrought will never be repaired. They have created generations upon generations of children who will see this is how we do things...we maim and destroy.

1. He's an idiot
What we have done for our kids by being involved in Iraq is to create a whole new generation of enemies.

And we thought Osama was evil? The sins of the American fathers will be visited for generations on the American sons in new and twisted ways.

Bunch of dumbfucks.

3. Whenever some pol talks about the BAY BEES
in any context, prepare to give your rights, your wallet, and your military away to him.

That's what they DO, these old white men who are SO concerned for the CHILDREN.

4. The only thing this war is doing for our kids...
is leaving them deeper in debt and making the world a more violent and unstable place.

5. The cowards are holding the troops in front of them as shields
They're shameless cowards and all they can say is, "If you shoot me you're aiming at this GI who's following orders."

6. makes sense to me!
when the kids grow up, the only job prospect they will have is joining the military. If we leave Iraq, there will be less need for soldiers. Thus, staying in Iraq will provide job opportunities for our children!

Brilliant!
