3. Those are the "official" numbers..................

how many more "unofficially"? The ones who fell between the cracks, who weren't "combat related". There are some mighty big cracks in Iraq, and some mighty big cracks in the heads of the people responsible for their being there in the firt place.
All becuase of one very little, little man's ego.

8. I just happened to notice on death from this past weekend

he was serving in the same unit as his son and was "found dead". I did not see his death on the official count. I wonder how many there are?

4. I`m sure he inherited his mom`s "beautiful mind" it`s not relevant.

The death he causes is not relevant. What is relevant is that he can get away with it. And people like himself are becoming much richer because of it. Now that is what is relevant to Bu$h. Not that he started an illegal war crime. For no other reasons than power and wealth.

6. Oil

'freely and democratically' pumped from underneath the Iraqis' land.

It's a shame, but people keep buying those SUVs. One of them ran off the road head-on into me and nearly killed me a littl over a year ago.

IRR Sunday

Resistance hits al-Basrah International airport with more than
30 rockets as US forces evacuate through the facility.

In a dispatch posted at 5:15pm Sunday afternoon, Mecca
time, the local correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported
that the Iraqi Resistance had launched a powerful attack
on al-Basrah airport a short while before. More than 30 rockets
of various types, including Tariq, Grad, and Katyusha rockets
in addition to 120mm mortar rounds pounded the airport that
at the time was the scene of the large-scale departure or
US troops from Iraq.

Witnesses told the correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam
that extremely thick clouds of smoke are rising over the airport
as sirens wail.

Resistance shoots down US transport plane as it
heads towards al-Basrah airport Sunday evening.

Reliable sources in al-Basrah reported that an
American transport plane was shot down an area east
of al-Basrah as it headed towards al-Basrah airport.
Witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that it came under attack
from the ground as it approached the airport. The witnesses
saw the plan plummet to earth at about 6pm Sunday, local
time. Since a curfew is in force in the city on order of
the occupation, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent has
been unable to obtain further details regarding the
crash.
