1. He is not one to make any kind of sacrifice...maybe cut his

vacation short by one day....

2. Bush would sacrifice his children if it would save his own ass

3. Hell, send BOTH of the brats!

4. Send the whole damn family.

The sum total isn't worth a pile of dust anyway.

5. This is just heartbreaking. K & R

I continue to wipe tears after viewing this video. This poor family. The grandmother's statement should be heard by the small percentage of Americans that think that a "surge" is acceptable.

6. Sounds like a good idea but it would only get more killed.

The "expendable" troops would be expected to 'protect the First Twins at all costs', anything from giving up their seats in Armored Personnel Carriers to stepping in front of a bullet. No commander would be foolish enough to put these expectations down on paper but you could be sure it would be expected just the same.

7. Either they changed the story from your initial posting or the grandmother's quote is from another

link.

Just FYI. I didn't see the quote anywhere in the story. Although I'd goddamn well love to see it.

10. It's a quote from the video

She does say it, near the end.

8. He's the believer

Why aren't his boots on the ground?

9. Bush uses the word Sacrifice, but does not

know it's meaning at all....
