2. Does anyone think that we might see the Iraq equivalent of the

Tet Offensive in the coming months?

4. I don't know about tet but

the number of dead grow everyday. I am so conflicted about this, I think that if the number of american dead grow so large that even john q. can't help but notice and demand a withdrawal. On the other hand I don't want to see another person die for the morons* folly.

8. I read somewhere...

that something like 2,000 shoulder-launched missile are missing and unaccounted for in Iraq. I shudder to think what could happen to a transport plane loaded with GI's -- my gut feeling is that there's a major disaster waiting to happen. As opposed to these one-at-a-time disasters that occur almost every day.

10. There are apparently about 20 attempts a month to bring down

a plane at Baghdad airport so it's obviously not that easy to succeed.

11. Sick

Another example of this Administration's failed policies and their tragic consequences!

Bring our boys home now!

13. Damn that Howard Dean!

Haven't you heard? Dean's opposition to the war is inciting the Iraqi people to kill our G.I.s.

17. I heard it was the negative media reports

I read it in a letter to the editor in the Oregonian today, so you know it must be true!

ON EDIT: I notice that, in order to avoid unpleasant realities, YAHOO! lists only the number of dead since Lil George did his flight deck strut. I don't know why that has become the media convention; it's as if those who died in the initial fighting don't really count as casualties.

14. CNN just reported two more dead from "non-combat" something

Lou Dobbs said the Pentagon reported that they were in the 1st AD.

"Two 1st Armored Division soldiers died in separate non-combat incidents Oct. 22.

One soldier was found in need of medical attention in the barracks at approximately 3:50 p.m. Medical personnel responded immediately but the soldier was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another soldier collapsed in an off-duty area at approximately 9 p.m. The soldier was evacuated to the 28th Combat Support Hospital and was pronounced dead.

The soldiers’ names are being withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

The incidents are under investigation."
