Death toll nears 4000 in Iraq:

AP:

"Sometime soon, the U.S. military will suffer the 4,000th death of the war in Iraq. . .The 4,000th death will come with the war further out of the public eye, and replaced by other topics on the front burner of the U.S. presidential campaigns."

It's kind of ironic that the presidential campaingns are getting in the way of paying attention to our people dying everyday in a war. Shouldn't that be the first and foremost thing on everyone's mind? If John McCain gets his way, we'll be there for a hundred years if that's what it takes.

I'm not so good with numbers, what does that up to casualty-wise and does anyone care?

Should we start "up-armoring" baby strollers now?

My take on this from the other day at my joint.

There is an occupation following the illegal invasion of a sovereign country 5 years ago.
There never was a war with Iraq.

but whatever it is, it's just as deadly as a war.
