Bush says Iraq sacrifices 'vital'
US President George W Bush has said that the sacrifices being made to fight insurgents in Iraq are vital to the future security of the United States.
Speaking at an air force base in North Carolina, he urged Americans to stand firm on "the latest battlefield in the war against terrorism".
He said the only strategy to tackle militants was to "defeat them abroad before they attack us at home".
Sacrifices were vital? Tell that to the families of all the dead soldiers, GW Shrub.
And doesn't he have that 'Golden Rule' thing a little backward? Isn't it supposed to be 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?'
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi accused Bush of demonstrating a
willingness "exploit the sacred ground of 9/11, knowing that there is
no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq."
