Small Change

John Boehner (R), House Minority Leader, was asked:

The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?"

He responded:

The investment that we're making today will be a small price if we're able to stop al Qaeda here, if we're able to stabilize the Middle East, it's not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids.

The price so far? Over 3700 dead Americans, and ten times that wounded.
