1. I THINK it might be 400. CNN reported one a couple hours ago that didn't

sound like the one from Friday...it's so hard to keep up. :-(

5. Don't furget the "servicemen" that don't "count"

. . you can bet ur sweet whatever that if the "casualty" has no living relatives,

or is a "non-landed immigrant" whatever that deal was,

that if there is noone to "check up" on a certain individual,

then it won't get "recorded"

and then there's the thousands of wounded

and the more thousands that will suffer mentally or physically after they get "home"

many, MANY will just disappear into obscurity

6. Number will have doubled at 416

If I remember correctly, I think the number of deaths prior to May 1 was 138. So when the number gets to 414, that will mean that the number of soldier killed in Iraq will have actually DOUBLED since Chimpy strutted onto the carried deck and declared that combat operations were over.

7. Dutifully died for a dishonorable cause

These poor bastards, add their names to the 58,138 Americans who dutifully died in Vietnam for another dishonorable cause.

We're going to experience global warming of unprecedented scale as today's Republicans pass away, and the fires of hell flare up as their damned souls enter the flames.

Between Bush himself, all who harbor him, the Robed Traitors who appointed him, and every accomplice to his crimes and accessories after the fact (read: every supporter out there), it's going to get downright tropical around here.

8. There is but ONE, and yet a simple solution

. . at this point in time -

. . The USA is the undisputed POWER in the world

. . this does not make them right

. . there is but ONE force that can take down the USA's WarMachine right now

. . and that's the American Voter

Just My Humble Canuk Opinion
