Well, ok that is a paraphrase. Read the whole post at the link below and you decide.
Horses Mouth September 12, 2007 4:18 PM: "...Note that Boehner is specifically answering a question about troop deaths here -- which he calls a 'small price,' should we win the war.
This is an obvious point, but it bears making again, anyway: It's really uncanny how often those who aren't sacrificing anything for the Iraq war, aside for perhaps their health in the polls, are willing to...
(a) Describe the very real sacrifice being made by others as not being such a big deal ...while simultaneously...
(b) Describing the sacrifice others are making as their own.
Also, it bears pointing out that Boehner's overall thought here -- that we'll have made a small sacrifice 'if we're able to stabilize the Middle East'-- is a pretty big 'if.' Of course, if you're not really sacrificing anything in the quest to realize this big 'if,' then there's not much to be lost in going for it even if it is a real long shot, now is there."
