1. WMD 0, US Troops Dead 600

Dead for lies.

2. This is sad

A moment of silence should be requested by the WH. Can DUer's all take 3 seconds of ZERO post at 11:00am in memory of 600 lives, 3000 9/11 lives that all could have been prevented. Just a travesty.

3. What is even sadder: I don't think America cares

and hundreds more will die in the next year.

4. I wish Kerry would come on TV and request a moment of silence!

He was a soldier, he could certainly go on TV and mention to America how 600 soldiers have died today, to please take a 3 second pause at such and such time, in remembrance of their souls.

5. How high does the # have to be to apall people?

I was apalled at the first death in a senseless no end in sight no clear goal war. But I thought in my head well maybe people will be outraged at this #, or this #. I'm afraid that there is no number that people will second guess there half-hazard flag waving support of this president and his ill policies.

6. It will take a draft and middle-class kids getting drafted, I'm afraid

7. Have you noticed they're counting backwards again?

Just in the past week, many US outlets have been crunching the numbers to lower the death count. Under 400 now, I've seen in a number of stories, counting only those killed in "combat." (However the military-infotainment complex defines that.)

8. I agree-but unfortunately, it does...eom
