White House: U.S. should brace for more casualties

46 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After another bloody weekend for U.S.
troops in Iraq, the White House said on Monday Americans should
brace for more U.S. casualties in the push for greater security
in Baghdad.

Eight U.S. soldiers were killed on Sunday in roadside bomb attacks
and were among 12 whose deaths were announced, following an
April in which more than 100 died.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the deaths were
attributable to efforts to bring security to Baghdad as part of a
3-month-old troop buildup.

"We are getting to the point now with the Baghdad security
plan where there is going to be real engagement in tougher
neighborhoods and you're likely to see escalating levels of
casualties," Snow said.

1. Bring them home, Bush. BRING THEM HOME.
Your war is based on LIES.

The blood of every soldier is on YOUR HANDS.

Americans overwhelmingly WANT THIS WAR TO END. NOW.

Just bring them home. No more deaths, bring them home.

2. Buying time with the lives of other people's kids.
Impeachment is an urgent life or death matter.

3. This is pure bullshit.
What have we been doing over there for the past 4+ years? Having tea parties? What's this "we're bringing the war to the enemy" crap? Where has the war been up till now? They must think the American people are really, really stupid.

4. Call your Senators - demand an end to our involvement in Iraq!
I just called Pelosi, Reid, Warner and Webb.

I say NO MORE DEATHS in Iraq. Period. It ain't worth it. Bring our people home NOW.
