2. May all

of these souls rest in the peace we are seeking.

Unfortunately, each of these deaths is a valuable "told you so" to those who do not want this war to end now.

3. Bush supporters likely reactions to this news

"Just 16!!! Jeez, wake me up when we lose 3,000 a week like in WW II"

"You would think those guys would be a bit more careful with Bush making a major speech so recently"

"They signed up for this, so what do they expect"

"Why do they have to report this??? It just makes Bush look bad"

"You got to expect getting a bloody nose in war ... I can live with this"

"10 less guys mooching off the vet!!!"

"Couldn't these guys get a least one rag-head before kicking the bucket"

5. Well, those people are a tad tetched, so what do you expect?

All those reasons are only reasons to the incurably inane.

6. Look at those names - a microcosm of our country

All of them with parents and probably siblings, many of them with wives or girlfriends and children.

Poppy Bush especially loves death (and all forms of terror) during the "Christmas" holidays, so he'll be smiling.
