2. CNN's site has been revamped - more informative - 50 in May...

CNN's has revamped their special site on Coalition deaths. From my count it looks like 50 soldiers have died in May. After the terrible April, fifty in May has quietly (in the media) happened.

My God, at this rate there'll be 1,000 dead by October.

3. And, let us not forget the Iraqis.

Over ten thousand of them have died in this needless, illegal invasion, too! Many more have been maimed and brutalised by Amerika!

Shame on pResident Bu$h! Shame on Amerika! :-(

:cry:
