bush is Wasting our Troops not Sacrificing them
All this hand wringing about semantics is nonsense. The holier then thou arrogant bastard conservatives fake their outrage when someone suggests our kids are being wasted: (and the democrats had to jump on this loser train as well)

Waste - to be consumed or employed uselessly or inadequately

Sacrifice - the surrender or destruction of something valued for the sake of something having a higher or more pressing claim

Which Webster's Dictionary definitition best describes what bush and his supporters are doing to our kids? Republicans sacrifice nothing. Republicans waste with reckless abandon. We will get nothing from the carnage in Iraq and our kids are being employed uselessly and inadequately and they are dying because of bush's lies and his failure of leadership. They are being wasted by the actions of a miserable failure.

4. I must give credit
to Webster's Dictionary College Edition. They are much more better with words.

2. Now that's spot on! When using wasted lives and troops in the same sentence

everyone (Dems that is) should also include Bush's name first and foremost.

Bush has wasted your kid's life in Iraq. Bush is responsible for those who have lost life and limb.

Bush is responsible for your kids not coming home again.

3. I recall in elementary school, the Nuns would insist that we
"prove" our arithmetic lessons (with the threat of a rap from a sharp ruler hanging over our heads.)

The best way to prove anything you say about bush is to wait and listen for the howls of protest and fake outrage emanating from the right wing flag waving garbage which occupy our country. If they howl, you are proven right. Nothing could be more true then saying bush is responsible for wasting the lives of our kids in Iraq because he is a liar and has absolutely no leadership skills. Imagine the howls.

5. Call Cartoon McCain's office today and tell him to own up to his words!
Congratulate him on saying the right thing, and - just as a dig - tell him not to apologize like "that wimp Obama." That oughta confuse 'em real good.

:evilgrin:

NGU.

6. No, from Bush's point of view he is sacrificing them.
He is destroying the troops (valued, but not all that highly by him or the other chicken hawks) for something having a higher claim -- oil.

7. TROOPS
And I got into a shouting match with an female Army vet last night, who said that the 3000 lost in Iraq is nothing, compared to previous 'wars'....I was extremely incensed after that.........

8. One death is too many
especially when they die for a liar and an evil cowardly bastard. 3,000 dead teammates is nothing. It just warms the cockles of my heart.
