2. 24 years old

He should be getting married, having kids, setting up an IRA. Meanwhile our streets overflow with chickenhawks.

4. Pile 'em high!

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

God Bless America

6. It took TEN days for Sgt. Matthew J. Fenton to die. His death wasn't

swift and painless, he likely suffered. His blood is on the hands of the Emperor, Shotgun Dick, and a shriveled old baggy pants man, Rumsfeld.

What can we do to end these senseless killings of our finest young soldiers?

:patriot:

7. 24 and dead, while Rumsfield, Cheney, Bush, And Sleeza grow older

and richer.

Bet shedding the young blood makes the murderous four happy.

8. I agree: shedding innocent blood makes them happy

Sometimes it truly seems they can hardly contain
their glee when they talk about it

11. RIP

Most violent city in the US is Trenton with 18 murders in 2004 <1>. That's 21 per 100,000 people. There are almost 170,000 soldiers in Iraq. There are 2,03 deaths <3> in 2005 on average, so the expected estimate for 2005 will be around 741 which is 435 per 100,000 soldiers.

Iraq is 21 times more violent than the most violent city in the US for the average soldier.

For Iraqi civilians the estimate death count annual is 100,000 <4>. Population is 26 million which is 216 per 100,000

Iraq is 10 times more violent than the most violent city in the US for the average civilian.

What does this statistic proof? Nothing, but it gives you an idea of how bad it is.
