86 Americans died in Iraq in November

so that the 99 who died in October did not die in Vain. So far, 18 have died in the first 6 days of December, and of course that number will grow, to ensure the 86 who died in November did not die in vain. And each and every one of those kids already buried or on their way to their final resting place has the total and absolute support of the conservative community. Most of those kids are barely out of high school and thanks to conservative support they are dead. Yes, it surely must be a merry christmas in our conservative communities from coast to coast.

1. I put it this way:

Suppose for no good reason we invaded Brazil and we lost 2,100 troops killed and 15,000 wounded in the first two and a half years. According to Bush it would make sense to continue that war simply because those troops died there.

Iraq is exactly the same way. We had no reason to invade and now for some reason we have to continue to fight simply because our soldiers died for no good cause.

2. Viet Fucking Nam, all over again

Same claptrap, same 'reasons', same inane call to 'patriotism' same idiot politicians willing to sacrifice children in order to justify their votes.

It is absolutely sickening.

5. If you look at the numbers,

they are most definitely going up. October was a really high month. Look at November: 86 dead.

Now in the 1st 6 days of December, we have 18 dead. That makes an average of about 3 deaths per day. December has 31 days. That would give an estimated 93 dead.

The fact are in: the numbers are going up. In spite of the fact that they are trying everything they can to get the numbers down.

IED's are the most common devices being used now. They're trying different devices to defuse them, the Pentagon ordered some high-tech "Bomb-busters" from here in Oregon recently.

They know this and they are sweating profusely. (Pentagon analysts)
