2. sadly yes

this one from a roadside bomb blast, the other 2 wre the MPS who got hit by a motar attack...

11. MP's I thought they were Military Intelligence

Believe it or not there is a difference.

Sort of like the difference between the Cop on the block and an FBI Agent, there is some overlap to be sure, but their missions are very different.

4. Another one

This is really getting out of hand.

Mentioned all of this to a few neighbors yesterday. They not only believe we should be there, but they don't think a few thousand dead are too many because "them guys attacked us"---

so much for the person the street.

As long as ESPN and cable sedate the masses---this will go on--

Sad though for this person female/male who just died for Brown & Root and Exxon Oil.

5. Let them know that Bush himself says Hussein had nothing

to do with 9/11.

What idiots.

6. I would keed a close eye on those neighbors saigon68

Never turn your back on them. They are some real dangerous and sick mofos.

10. 304 kia for this quest to control resources

Americans, that is not counting the brits, dane, and spaniard who gave it up for the bfee. The war is changing, used to be we didn't hear about weekend deaths, and the numbers are rising as well.

[bluestateguy]

12. I told you so AGAIN

This might not have happened had the anti-war protestors been listened to.

[VolcanoJen]

13. So this brings the count up to FOUR KIA for September 21????

:-(

By the way, there is an excellent site on CNN that has photos of the coalition soldiers who have lost their lives in this immoral and unnecessary war. I've been reading it every day, and encourage everyone to do so. It's every bit as heartbreaking to me as reading the New York Times "Portraits in Grief" following the 9/11 attacks.

Here are but four... there are 351 so far. :-(
