2. Great, getting ready to rollover 3,000 on the way to 4,000.
Hell of a milestone that is going to be. Another devastated family, another wasted life. For what? To make sure that dumbass doesn't get blamed for the fall of Baghdad?

Why is the military putting up with this?

3. I have a question.....
If icasualties counts people who die of injuries sustained in iraq, regardless
of where they expire, ie, in German hospitals or stateside, why is it that
EVERY death that is reported there has taken place recently.

I NEVER read of a death there where it says that the person died of injuries
sustained "in Al-Anbar last June" for instance. EVER.

I know that this topic has been done to "death" and I know that the casualty count
are supposed to include people who die elsewhere, I just don't see them being
included as the numbers climb on icasualties.

Has anyone else noticed this. Has modern medicine become so advanced that we
are saving everyone we medvac out?

4. No there are lots of burn victims who die later at Brooks AFB
They are counted at ICasualties.

The Bush Criminals ignore all these deaths, as they count their $tock dividends from Halliburton, Bechtel et al.

5. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?


Rich Man's War Lyrics


Jimmy joined the army ‘cause he had no place to go
There ain’t nobody hirin’
‘round here since all the jobs went
down to Mexico
Reckoned that he’d learn himself a trade maybe see the world
Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl
Somebody somewhere had another plan
Now he’s got a rifle in his hand
Rollin’ into Baghdad wonderin’ how he got this far
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war

Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
Been a year now and he’s still there
Chasin’ ghosts in the thin dry air
Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war

When will we ever learn
When will we ever see
We stand up and take our turn
And keep tellin’ ourselves we’re free

Ali was the second son of a second son
Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come
Ain’t nothin’ else to do around here just a game children play
Somethin’ ‘bout livin’ in fear all your life makes you hard that way

He answered when he got the call
Wrapped himself in death and praised Allah
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war

Steve Earle
