1,500 more U.S. troops killed by August 31, 2008

yeah Democrats!!!! fuck you Cindy Sheehan!!! We have to work with a diverse Democratic Party!!!!

Three troops a day are killed in Iraq, each month approximately 500 are listed as casualties (ten times more are unlisted casualties who suffer physical, emotional and mental injuries from Iraq) and countless numbers of Iraqis are killed every day. So, when the Democrats call for a withdrawal by August 31, 2008 it means there will be 1,500 more U.S. troops killed, more than 8,000 officially injured and many tens of thousands of Iraqi children, women and men killed. In 2007, if the supplemental passes, Congress will have appropriated $165 billion, and in 2008 it is likely much more will be spent.


And, the loopholes in the House Democratic supplemental are large enough to ensure that even after the deadline President Bush will be able to keep as many troops as he wants in Iraq. For example, troops can stay to capture or kill members of Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups. We have approximately 140,000 troops in Iraq doing that right now. With the wording of this supplemental that will continue after the so-called withdrawal date. And, the supplemental does nothing to prevent a military attack on Iran.

the Democratic Leadership is playing.

Too bad you cry baby, the Dems are playing a game. Stop your crying.

I strongly agree with you. The funding bill should have been voted down. Pelosi has no business even bringing up a war funding bill for a house vote.


So sorry about the bad sarcasm post.




side note, I couldn't get your image links to work. sorry.

I am extremely pissed about how proud people are about that lousy bill last week

and snearing at anyone who is "so simplistic that they fail to see how smart pro-funding backers are in their baby steps".

They voted for continuation of funding. The bill could have just died if Pelosi just didn't bring it up for a vote. The funding issue could be dead right now.

But no, we get baby steps and more war.
