Incredible. Think Progress has the video and the rest of the story.
Obviously, Mr. Boehner isn't paying the price of losing a son or daughter in Iraq. Mr. Boehner hasn't had to deal with the absence of a loved one who is serving in Bush's Iraq war. He is quite willing to let our military families pay the heavy price.
Contact Boehner and let him know that you are offended by his comments.

Breitbart (AP):
The most prominent figure in a revolt of Sunni sheiks against al-Qaida in Iraq was killed Thursday in an explosion near his home in Anbar province, police said.
Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha was leader of the Anbar Salvation Council, also known as the Anbar Awakening—an alliance of clans backing the Iraqi government and U.S. forces.
He was among a group of tribal leaders who met President Bush earlier this month at al-Asad Air Base in Anbar province......
Remember how Bush, Gen. Petraeus, and Ambassador Crocker kept saying that the Anbar province was an example of the success of the surge? If one third of the American deaths have occurred in the Anbar province, how can Bush say that the province is an example of success?
From ICasualties:
The number of U.S. deaths in the Anbar province--1,272
Total American deaths in Iraq: 3,776
