Thank you, Yeager, for reminding everyone. And for printing something that should be headlines in every newspaper every day but unfortunately isn't.
Of course, you'll get negative comments from those in here who have no respect for COMBAT soldiers ....soldiers who were BRAVE and HONEST enough to GO TO WAR and not just talk about it or send others.
They fought and lost their lives and then their sacrifice gets slandered by people in the US.....disgraceful!
How disheartening for those still there fighting!
I honor and respect their bravery and courage!

Yeager it will more than likely reach over 1000, war is not easy, but at least Iraq is free of Saddam Hussien...

The deaths of the soldiers are of very little concern to many of the voters as they have a single blind focus on Kerry's actions of 35 years ago and not much else matters.
How many months has Bush stood there and sneered about "a few thugs" that were in his way to bringing freedom to Iraq. Looks like 1000 of his good soldiers have died and about 7000+ are severely injured and he still isn't anywhere near to taking out those "few thugs". Look at the tons of money being wasted. When is he going to clue in?

Here's a very chilling and VERY powerful flash movie about the human cost of this war. It's an excellent reality check:

The sad thing about Bush is that he doesn't even have an exit stratgey. We will keep the course he keeps saying. I thought the mission was accomplished over a year ago. It is nice to know our goofball-in-chief knows how to start a war but doesn't know how to finish one. It is because he hasn't gotten to that chapter of the book yet.
Let's have a BBQ, Texas style, ROAST BUSH

YOU CAN'T HAVE BULLSH** WITH OUT BUSH.

We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union....
