There have been 23 US military deaths in Iraq so far this month.

How is this a lessening of the attacks or casualties? I have heard and read in several places that since Saddam's "capture", the number of attacks have "eased". But you wouldn't be able to say that by the number of US deaths in Iraq. It just makes me wonder how dishonest our media can get.

1. ...but things are getting better. Unless you're killed, then of course...

2. more deaths = more success

Remember, the more soldiers die, the more desparate the Iraqis are becoming because they hate freedom

3. And we, the military families are NOT covered on the news

Nor are the caskets, the bodies being flown into Dover AF base, or the coverage of the Hell in Iraq. Nor are the Funerals or the Wounded. We are living in a blackout, and the lowest ranking privates are dying and being wounded while *bUsh smirks and lies.
The Blood is on the *bUsh admin. hands, the hands of the corporate media, and the hands of the people who vote for the Chimp.

5. You are right!

George W. Bush is a murderer - no mater how you slice it. Anyone who votes for this gibbering, cowardly, muderer is nothing more than an accomplice. I am notifying my "freinds" and family - if any of them vote for Bush in Nov. they will be dead to me. I am sorry, but all the murder and mayhem that this facist crumb has perpetrated his on the souls of not just him and his hinchmen, but on every brainless, greed bastard that inabled the wretch with a single damned vote! Again, sorry, but I have had enough.

6. I, too have chosen not to have anything to do with my relatives

If they vote for *bush. I have let them know this. I do not wish to surround myself in my life with these kind of people. Just because they are related to me does not mean I have to continue to associate with them.
My mother woke up..shes voting against *bush.
My sister did, too.
But my brothers and my other sister are out of my life. I will not speak to them, as they are just as guilty as the *bush administration of allowing our children to be sent over there to die for NOTHING.
I hope they can live with themselves.

8. I admire your strength.

And I am with you 100% Sometimes the families we create for ourselves are stronger and better than the ones we were born into.

4. Apparently the one death a day is not enough to wake Amerika from slumber
