2,000+ soldiers dead? No big deal to the Freepers. Check this out.

Let's see, more American soldiers have died in other (often legitimate) wars, so what the hey? You be the judge of this discussion. They never cease to amaze.

More than 2,000 dead --- worth the cost???

I'm getting a little tired (okay, I actually got tired a long time ago) of people making such a huge deal over the US death toll reaching the 2,000 mark. All around, we're hearing, "It's not worth the cost! It's not worth the cost!"

Well, frankly, I think freedom IS worth the cost. And I think it demeans the sacrifices of our troops to suggest otherwise.

Freedom from what? Was Iraq attacking us?

It's worth the cost of OTHER people's lives!

why don`t they sign up?

Bush lot his patience with the weapons inspectors and now has the blood of our soldiers on his hands.

...lost someone to this lie of a war?

No.

They don't have the balls to say that to someone's face who was directly impacted by this war. Are the 16,000+ maimed and costly injuries worth it too? The thousands of dead Iraqis that we killed to save them from the evil Saddam...was it worth it for them?

What's been really worth it is if you had Halliburton stock. You'd have doubled your profits! Now that's worth it! War profiteering and a yellow ribbon Support The Troops magnet on your SUV!

To these Freeperzoids, the dead are probably just wetbacks, nig#ers and white trash that died anyway, so what would they care...

If this war is worth it, then surely these armchair warriors wouldn't mind signing up. After all, the military really needs them now...

Here's their logic:

soldiers are real in this dimension. Real people with families who deserve to be told the truth when they are being sent to fight and perhaps die.

Funny, but I don't remember a foreign country attacking America to help us fight our war to be free. How do they come up with this lunacy?

"It's not worth the cost! It's not worth the cost!"

The question is, "It's not worth the cost"of what? Before giving credance to idiots who run around spewing such idiocy, make them be specific, what isn't worth the cost?

Then ask them was it worth the cost our ancestors paid at Bunker Hill, Lexington and Valley Forge? Or would they prefer to still be British Subjects, paying British taxes and enjoying being jailed for protecting themselves, their lives and their property against thugs, robbers and murderers?

Until they define what it is that isn't worth the cost, they are only spouting pointless words

are needed to go die so I can be free! That's how much I love freedom! No price is too high, and I will spend ten thousand thousands of other people's lives for it!

think those Iraqi's are going to be in an Islamist state?

We were a hell of a lot more free before this war!
