Twelve soldiers have died THIS WEEK, per CNN, lest we forget.

Lots of distractions out there, so I thought I'd bring this up, while the media whores also keep chatting about Il Dunce's 'important speech' on Monday about immigration. :eyes: :cry:

5. 76 died in April, 32 so far in May.

BushCo has killed 2436 American soldiers in Iraq since their war of choice began. Unfortunately, it has no end.

11. It gets uglier by the day, and we hear so little about the dead.

Hide them in Dover, ship them off to home and forget them. It's the bush way.
