bush: "I’m not going to let your son die in vain"
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/01/bush-i-was-unprepared-for-war/

As for what would’ve compromised his principles, he said:

Mr. Bush: The pullout of Iraq. It would have compromised the principle that when you put kids into harm’s way, you go in to win. And it was a tough call, particularly, since a lot of people were advising for me to get out of Iraq, or pull back in Iraq, or — and rather than listen to — I mean, I listened to a lot of voices, but ultimately, I listened to this voice: I’m not going to let your son die in vain; I believe we can win; I’m going to do what it takes to win in Iraq.

FUCK YOU bush, FUCK YOU.

5. Conservative logic with a dose of fake patriotism
Your son must die tomorrow so the sons who died yesterday did not die in vain.

If a conservative stopped this insanity they would be admitting they did wrong and thats a no-no for conservatives.

7. They didn't die in vain. They died for oil. They died for Exxon, Mobil,
Shell and Halliburton. They also died to profit Blackwater.

8. Define "win," george.
Why no mention of the daughters who have died to slake your thirst for blood, george?

Fuck you, george.
