2000 This Weekend ?

Three U.S. Marines and a U.S. soldier died today in Iraq, making about 10 this week so far.

We will pass the 2000 death line in the new few days.

Have these deaths made us any safer? Have they reduced the threat of Terrorism? Have we, as a nation, gained anything at all?

Didn't think so.

A bad decision by a group of men, to afraid to go to war in their youth, has lead to the death of injury of thousands of citizens of this nation, and tens of thousands of Iraqis.

All based on a bunch of lies.

UPDATE

Iraqi Army Needs More Time

WASHINGTON (AP) - The commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad said Friday that it will take as long as two years before the Iraqi army can operate on its own, with the necessary military leadership and supplies.


They keep singing the same song, but the timeline gets longer

Why, don't you know that their moms and dads are just proud, PROUD I say, to have their darling little girls and boys go die in some god-forsaken sandpit somewhere in order to protect Vice President Halliburton's delayed compensation? I bet they get up every morning and joyfully recite, "God Bless Vice President Halliburton and His holy annointed corporation!" every morning as they stare at photos of their dead boy or girl on the mantleplace....
