The killings brought US losses so far this month to 48, or more than four a day.

2. No other word than "impeach" can do at this moment.... We have to admit that he is as mad as was
George III at times.

The federal bankruptcy and continuing death and maiming tolls are enough already.

3. ...higher and higher the pile has become.

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.

Carl Sandburg

4. How about inventing a roadside bomb detector?
With all the money we the people are providing for this war you would think someone would have come up with SOMETHING.

How is Homeland Security doing now days on the terrorist front, you know, securing this country. Since the bushies don't believe in Diplomacy and gathering goodwill from others we better get busy securing our own ground.

6. They have been putting tons of money into countermeasures
for IED. Problem is, the insurgents adapt. For example when a convoy is coming through, cell phone signals are now jammed so they can't be set off by cell phone but now the insurgents use other methods.

9. Does Anybody Have The Total To Date?
I'm wondering whether it will pass the 3K mark right around Christmas Day.

I think it's on pace to do so within a few days either way of 12/25.
