5. There are several sites that keep count

Some are more accurate. There probably are more casualties than 1496. --

I casualties is the most conservatve about posting. They need DOD, Centcom or CJTF7 confirmation before posting.

3. Will there be...

like...party hats and noisemakers when #1500 is announced?

What amazes me is that this is not filtering into the peabrains. How many have to die for things to even get noticed?

6. It will take a lot more this time too

Most people are still Fox news brainwashed into the "they will all have died for nothing if we leave" mode. Its going to take a while.

One thing is certain though. If they keep signing up Bush will be more than happy to keep sending them to off to their deaths.
