I don't expect to see it reported on TV. :(

3. According to icasualties.org, 54 US troops have been killed this month

That's the total from the entire month of July, and we're not even half way through August yet.

4. I find it suspicious. Why not just say '7 US troops...yesterday'?

maybe 'since friday' doesn't sound so bad?.....

6. Sounds like Vietnam with daily count running

Will we have to pull out on roofs in the green Zone? It is really hard to believe that these 'War Lovers" were around in the Vietnam days. What were they doing? They would not hear Charles de Gaulle when he said not to go to Vietnam and we still have not learned one thing. France said the same here and they should know that have fought these wars before. Did we not try to make Vietnam make a constitutions also? We even put in 'our' man to run the place. We were going to bring freedom and stop the Reds if I recall all done on lies and started with 'help' sent in by Ike in the 50's. What is wrong with this country? Can't we learn anything? :shrug:
