1. Wow...at that rate it's going to hit 1,000 right around

July 4th. :(

3. I'm almost willing to bet, it will hit 1000 BEFORE July 4th

The combat deaths are accelerating, every day

It used to be a bad day was three killed, this is a good day these days

10. yes I agree many more to die after

all of those pictures have been released they are going to be going for blood now. Can you imagine what the US would have done if instead of showing the soldier who was caught from Ohio sitting with his uniform on if a picture of him naked and hooded and beaten. And now I can only imagine what will happen to the pow's now or if they will just be killed instead as most wouldn't even be able to commit such atrocities for revenge.

2. Now wait a minute-

I am certain that I heard Paul "cry" Wolfowitz say, just last week, that there were approximately 500 killed. Surely you can't be saying that he's wrong? (I guess that "approximately" is the operative word there.) :crazy:
What a shame and a waste.

9. Right, if some Du'r has Paul Wolfowitz's email...

...make sure he gets an up-date of the casualties every day, would you please.
