GOP Leader Boehner - Small Price to Pay

From a CNN Wolf Blitzer interview this afternoon with GOP leader Rep. Boehner.

BLITZER: How much longer will U.S. taxpayers have to shell out $2 billion a week or $3 billion a week as some now are suggesting the cost is going to endure? The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?

BOEHNER: I think General Petraeus outlined it pretty clearly. We’re making success. We need to firm up those successes. We need to continue our effort here because, Wolf, long term, the investment that we’re making today will be a small price if we’re able to stop al Qaeda here, if we’re able to stabilize the Middle East, it’s not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids.

I wish Rep. Boehner would explain exactly what "price" the average American is paying for our success in Iraq. The only price Pres. Bush asked of Americans was to continue to go out and shop at the malls. Oh yeah, also be afraid, be very afraid.

Unfortunately, our soldiers are dying or getting limbs blown off and families are being left without mothers and fathers. Rep. Boehner thinks this is a small price to pay, as long as he doesn't have to pay anything.
