We now have 1,695 dead in Iraq & Afghani toll is also rising

Our death toll gets higher each day. June has seen a very bad month.

You will never see these figures on a right wing site. They close their eyes and their ears.

2. I don't believe ANYTHING this government says.

I think the "death toll" is grossly understated.

And what counts as "causalities?" It seems that there are multiple of thousands of "causalities" that will never be able to function normally again.

Then there are all the future victims of Depleted Uranium. That's the Rambo that keeps on killing through the generations... in Iraq and in the US children born from a DU exposed parent(s).

There are already stories of homeless vets from this latest Bush's Big Adventure. Homeless vets? That's unacceptable.

Then there's the skyrocketing divorce rate happening in military families.

Whatever the "death toll" cited, our citizens doing Bush's bidding are paying a very, very, very high price. That human toll will effect this whole country. We are just not allowed to know about it... yet. (or perhaps never.)

3. wow. almost 1,700. I wonder why recruiting is down???

my God. This is terrible and I can sniff a strong whiff of DRA-A-AFFT!!

it's amazing how wonderful and optimistic this whole country was in 1998 and 1999 and how the GOP controlling all branches can burn the fort, piss on our backs, and tell us it's raining (ode to the clip played on THE MAJORRITY REPOORRRRTTT ad infinitum)

4. How sadly grim.

I decided to incorporate this information into a small Cost of War page that I built. There are better pages, but it seems somehow therapeutic for me to post this one.
