Thanks, but we all know that more troops will die

It's bad enough that President Bush is requesting additional troops be deployed to Iraq; it's rather depressing that he had to stress the fact more servicemen and women will be sacrificing their lives. This, to me, is like adding insult to injury. It's insulting our intelligence by telling us that their lives will be sacrificed. We have enough intelligence to assume that much. It hurts twice as much to hear it as well as assuming it. Joan Hayden, Egg Harbor Township - Atlantic City Press, January 22, 2007
