worth it

condi rice says all the lives lost in iraq are "worth it."

maybe that's the going rate, but i know a guy who can get you a failed state for a lot less.

(yeah, i know this post is in bad taste. but frankly, i think condi's remarks were too)

UPDATE: Golden Boy points out that rice's full statement are not what i would call bad taste. in fact, i think the BBC summarizing her remarks as "worth it" wasn't really fair to her. she really seems to be saying that iraq will eventually pay off (in the future) and the "worth" she was talking about seems to be more about the $100 billion just appropriated to fund iraq, not the loss of life. i ultimately don't agree with rice, but that doesn't mean what she said was in bad taste either.

thus leaving me the only tasteless one. crap.
