1000 dead troops by Nov.?

we are fast coming up on 600 - will it be close to 1000 by Nov.?

will the religious nuts still sing Smirk's praises when we hit 1000?

is 1000 dead still alright with their god?

one is not alright with me.

bring the troops home now.

1. One death was too many for the Repukes, when Clinton was
President.

Kinda like the old Yogi Berra (I believe) quote:

"Four pitchers is too many, and ten is not enough!"

2. "Why should the soldiers complain...
if they go get to be with Jesus?" the Repukes will ask.

3. With the numbers rising, it is going to be difficult for the admin.
to continue their "ignore" policy. Outrage will soon set in that the chimp can't bother with the funerals and the media can't be bothered with the dover test.

4. Bush's "No Soldier Left Alive" program
not my quote, but I'm happy to steal it.

5. I'm having trouble keeping up
Does anyone know the count as of today? I don't think the networks are showing it anymore.

10. Your link
shows 1.95 dead per day as an average since March 2003.
It is 253 days til election...1.95x 253 = 493.
493 + 520 = 1,013.
If the 10 month average continues, it will be over 1,000 by November. Bush will however abandon the whole thing in the summer, just like his father did to Afghanistan in 1989 and Iraq in 1991. The Bush family doesn't let their phony concern get in the way of an election.

7. Oh God I hope not
I have a feeling that this is going somewhere that it shouldn't. Dead soldiers are not political leverage and should never be seen as such. Once one person was injured let alone killed this illegal war became and illegal act.

9. that's why I don't want to wait for the elections
in the fall to get rid of this guy, I've wanted ever since he started his little invasion to just get him the fuck out of office so nobody else has to be killed.

But no. Clinton gets a blowjob, gets impeached, Bush kills hundreds of Americans, thousands of foreigners, and he just might get another four fucking years.

It's vile, it's disgusting, and one more soldier dead (today?) is one more minute Bush and his friends should spend on electric chairs.

These people should be charged with hundreds of counts of manslaughter.
