Reply #110: Bush yammers on while casualties climb…

[mcscajun]

From today's press conference:

Bush: "We will honor the memories of their loved ones by completing our missions."

Q: "I'd like to ask you -- sir, I'd like to ask you about the deficit. But before I do that, there is a developing story this morning, the helicopter crash in Iraq. Can you tell us what you know about that, what may have caused it, and your reaction to it?"

Bush: "I know that it is being investigated by the Defense Department, and obviously any time we lose life it is a sad moment."
(snip)
"The story today is going to be very discouraging to the American people. I understand that. We value life. And we weep and mourn when soldiers lose their life."


I. Am. So. Fucking. Angry.
