Sad to say don't think any number would give them a clue, they're blinded by pig-headed ideolugy and numbers mean little to them. If GWB really gave a rat's behind about these men and women he wouldn't have gone on vacation after FINALLY admitting a new plan was needed

Bush is doing what he's told.
Don't underestimate Cheney, he's smart and clever. The things he does are not due to lack of insight. He knows what he is doing. He also believes in total secrecy for his decisions. That's the terrible part. Neither Bush, nor Cheney, give a rat's behind about the toll this war is taking on American troops. It's tragic to have so many dead and well over 22,000 wounded.

Remember Tony Snow's comment when the number hit 2500 - "It's a number."

Between 1941 and 1945 the USA had 407,300 military deaths. While 1 is too many, let's put it in perspective.

And the actual number of US deaths in Iraq since March 2003 up to June 2007 is 3538. This number includes both hostile and non-hostile deaths (i.e. accidents, illness etc)

Iraq Coalition Casualties (http://icasualties.org/oif/ - broken link)


Whereas illegals kill more American every day here in the US than are killed in Iraq in a month.

WorldNetDaily: Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily

Far as George and Dick getting a clue? I'm not happy with them but those troops wouldn't be there unless congress agreed to it. So there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle.

World Net Daily, huh - now there is a respected source of journalism. LOL

You are right - keep it in perspective. What is a few thousand deaths? Thanks for that.

Perspective? I want to know where the perspective was back in November when the Shrub FINALLY admitted we needed a new plan in Iraq and then proceeded to go on vacation while people remained in harm's way under his now admitted ineffective plan.


Until I hear a convincing argument otherwise, and I really don't believe one exists, I can only consider his lack of action to be one thing: INEXCUSABLE

Bush's Strategy in Iraq -

1. Stay the Course

2. They Stand Up, We Stand Down

3. Stay the Course (Again)

4. New Way Forward

5. Surge

6. Can't Wait to get the New Slogan. 21st Century Warfare, Kindergarten Style.

Maybe besides age and country of birth we should add a new requirement to be president?

You must be able to tell the difference between a plan and a sound bite.
