Not to mention the 2,195 wounded who, surprise, never seem to get a whole lot of press time. Rosie and Lacie are infinitely more important to our "esteemed" media.

3. It's sinking in.
Every morning, the people of this country get greeted with the news of more US deaths in Iraq. Today at work, two of our custodians stopped me in the hall to comment on how they can't believe that these deaths keep happening. It's become a constant in all of our lives.

May they all find peace with God.

2. We don't have a clue,
We only know what the bastards feed the state controlled media, there could be double the deaths and wounded, I remember the body counts in Viet Nam, this smells the same.

4. Add 388 to the 58,138 who died in Vietnam for a similar folly
That's 58,526 dead Americans who have died for NOTHING.

My only comfort is knowing that Bush and all who harbor him are going to fry in and extra-hot spot in hell for eternity. And even worse for them: Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh will be there with them. Barbara Olsen is keeping their spot warm now.
