1. Thanks for posting it.

Cable and network news would never show it. Bushbots cringe at any mention of deaths. They want them swept under the rug. It helps their conscience in their lousy votes.

10. look at these stats for Afghanistan

+ 2005 84
+ 2004 52
+ 2003 47
+ 2002 43
+ 2001 12

Total 238

Figure that Iraq is doing no better than "getting worse every year."

9. Afghanistan has become the forgotten war

With so much attention of Iraq, and the hurricanes, it seems that many people have forgotten our troops in Afghanistan. Perhaps it would have been better to concentrate on that country, since that's where Osama had his base, and leave Iraq alone. Just like the majority of sane people tried to tell Chimp. Iraq should never have been involved in this fight.

Again, thanks to the Chimp, we have another giant fuck up. My condolences to their families, the troops who fell in this war. They, and the troops in Iraq, have been placed in harm's way by an alcoholic, arrogant, sociopath.
