1. Heading quickly for 2000

Not to be ignored, despite Katrina's effects.

2. 2,000 and counting to 58,000?

Rest in Peace Sgt. Parson.

There was a time when America had only lost 2,000 in Viet Nam. It took about another 10 years to get up to 58,000 dead American boys.

* says we will stay the course in Iraq, but no one knows what that means. Rice has said it will be a generational struggle.

Maybe they plan to stop when they reach 58,000.

3. That would be a combat death of an American soldier fighting...

...in the Iraq war. Kind of odd the manner of expression DOD uses. One doesn't fight in a WAR, they are supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. Is that an ideological struggle or a humanitarian effort? The hide the word war in the same manner they hide the corpses.

8. The Iraqi war doing badly

See at www.icasualties.org. Our troops die for W's war.

Gulf Coast residents die because? 77% of NO voted for Kerry.

9. 77% for Kerry? Wow. No wonder he wanted to drown them.

But back to the latest military death. What is his beef with them? I wonder if he hates them for their service since his was a sham.

He is a coward and an impostor on all fronts.

RIP
