Boehner: Iraq Losses "A Small Price" To Pay

The Horse's Mouth:

Okay, if this isn't portrayed as a major gaffe, with wall-to-wall condemnations from the pundits, it'll be stunning. (Editor's note: That was meant to be bitterly ironic.)

I've just received some advance excerpts of an interview CNN's Wolf Blitzer has done with GOP House leader John Boehner. It's set to air this afternoon.

Like the quote from the moon landing: a small price for the Republicans but a giant bill for America. When I remember it right, you had a surplus under Clinton. Now generations are in the red and what for ? Even if there was a slow progress in Iraq. Why would you people have to pay for the outcome of a civil war in a distant country ? Why is the American taxpayer squeezed dry for the profit of a few companies like Halliburton.?

These idiots never cease to amaze me. What a small price in blood and money for the benefit of corporate America. How about the parents that lost sons and daughters? How about the troops that have lost limbs and have severe injuries. How about the 2 billion dollars a day from our "treasure?" And just think, all of our children will be paying for this fiasco for a long long time. Yes, it is a small price to pay for corporations to get rich at our expense. It didn't cost him anything!

What he meant to say was that he was thinking of his own kids future and their kids future, because he and his cronies are sucking enough money away from our kids future and their kids future, to set his family up for generations to come, while our kids labor to pay back the enormous debt that has been created. What Boehner said has to be one the most assinign statements I've ever heard in my life. He really should give his ass a chance.

Boehner needs to do more than just apologize
to the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters,
wives, husbands, sisters, brothers that he
addressed his horrific disgusting comment to,
he needs to RESIGN and be removed from office.
If a Democrat said this, BLITZER would have
gone nuts, but the slimy Boehner with his
cheap rug, and his orange tan, needs to
be removed. "A small price to pay," then
why doesn't he go there and PAY IT with his
life. These Republican bastards say these
things about "troops" and then these are the
very same slime who when we want to bring the
troops home, we are not supporting the
troops. When Boehner says these things there
is no outrage, and this slimeball gets away
with it. And by the way, isn't Boehner the
guy who was receiving checks from Tobacco
Companies on the floor of the Senate?
He got away with that and he is getting away
with what he said today - and Blitzer says
nothing. If it were a Democrat Blitzer would
have gone nuts, and so would the entire MSM.

He's just a drunken used car salesman. His district should be so proud.

How do we keep electing morons such as Boehner to public office?
He is an embarrassment to the whole country. He is the typical politician with no ethics, no morals and no conscience. Can't we elect some real statesmen or stateswomen for a change?

Considering the windfall profits made through all this bloodshed by the profiteers of war, and considering the raging hardon they have for controlling the vast oil reserves with which they will pollute our planet out of existence, then the ratio of cost to loss is rational to these capitalist pigs. Devouring at the trough of blood money, they hunger for more. Their vision of tomorrow is no more than the bottomline which they, in their empty souls, vainly fantasize as reward enough for what it costs.

What he said is exactly what he meant.

It's not just that it costs them nothing, (it's all on their bloodstained MasterCards), but it is that they believe that the profit will have any value whatsoever to our posterity. Oh! what an inheritance they have left to our children and as the future of our earth.

They don't want peace in the Middle East, but they will destoy us all for a piece of the Middle East. From Iraq through Iran, through Afganistan, across to Saudi Arabia, through Syria and Lebanon, they will march their hordes into Jerusalem. They want it all.

From Babylon to Jerusalem, they babble on, but there is no "protection of peace". Their god told them to go to war, because they are nothing more than worthless and vile "warriors" for AntiChrist, and their mission is Armeggedon.

Poor Cry-Baby Boehner... but his pink shirts and ties and teflon hair look MAH-velous!

Was Boehner a little pink in the nose again, tanning-booth brown, pupils dilated when he tried to speak? Did he cry? Have to check the rebroadcast.
