I Casualties Confirms as # 1091 and # 1092 http://icasualties.org/oif/

Note Gonzalez was apparently listed before (by I Casualties) that is why they only added 2 in this release to the total

2. This is getting out of hand

I just replied to 1087 to 1090. And again how many wounded? Grieviously so?
Bu$h evokes a visceral reaction in me and believe me it isn't love.

9. uncomfortable facts do not exist..

there is only triumphs & good news, and blame for those preventing victory. I've read this book before, but the live-action version kind of sucks. It wasn't really a script meant to be followed, anyway..

What’s Next?

On January 31, 2001, the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Defense released an audit report titled, “Management of National Guard, Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams.” This report is posted on the Maxwell Air Force web site as well as the Yurica Report. <154> In January of 1998, the Deputy Secretary of Defense ordered the Army to establish a special unit, a unit that was tasked with integrating Army Reserve Components into the domestic Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) civil defense response. The idea was for the military to support civilian authorities within the U.S. should the nation be hit with some type of mass destruction weapon. It was a home defense measure.

The name of the unit was “Consequence Management Program Integration Office” or CoMPIO for short. CoMPIO was created and placed under the leadership of an active duty colonel. It had eight active Guard and Reserve military personnel, six Department of Defense (DoD) civilians, and five contractor personnel.<155>

One of the first jobs the unit undertook was to coordinate establishing and fielding National Guard teams-consisting of full time Guard members-who were intended to assist the emergency first responders (such as the local fire department) in an emergency involving Weapons of Mass Destruction. CoMPIO spent approximately $73 million and $70 million in procurement and operations and maintenance fund in 1999 and 2000. An audit was conducted.

The audit found that while other organizations in the department of defense were drafting doctrine for the units, “CoMPIO was writing its own doctrine, independent of the other efforts.”<156>

In other words, much like the dominionists in the churches, the audit revealed that CoMPIO was a renegade unit that was splitting itself off from the greater military body. The list is long, but step by step CoMPIO did things its own way: It developed its own training courses for personnel without coordinating with the Army and went around the original contract with a private supplier, adding to the costs, and ignored the fact that an Army Training group was still writing the individual tasks for the course.<157> CoMPIO did not use the existing expertise in the Department of Defense in making program management decisions.<158> CoMPIO took the position that “it would field a system of systems without accreditation.”<159> And one CoMPIO official said:

“...once the units are in the field being used...the bureaucrats will have a much more difficult time of stopping the train.”<160>

10. I don't think I can stand much more of this "progress"

:cry:

[Wind Dancer]

13. I don't either.

This is tearing me up emotionally - I got into a heated exchange yesterday with a couple of RW fanaticals who refused to believe me when I told them what was really happening in Iraq. They flat out denied it cause their "churches and invited guests" are telling them how much we are helping the schools and spreading freedom. It was an ugly scene, these fundies are a cult, you can't get through even when you give them the facts.

They called me the peacemaker, saying God has a role for everyone and our soldiers are the warriors protecting us and spreading democracy. They believe the preachers who had visions of * being the chosen one but thought I was clueless even with my facts. You can't get through to these people, I walked out feeling sick and helpless after 2 hours of this insanity.:cry:

[saigon68]

14. They are idiots

Don't waste your time on them. They think ex-convicted Felon Ollie North is a Patriot.

[Wind Dancer]

17. I know - it was an ugly scene!

There are so many of them in this area and I am just sick of the BS - I want to shake them and scream "wake the fuck up" people, we are killing thousands of innocent people, how can you find that acceptable and claim christianity? They just wanted to attack me for being pro-choice - just couldn't understand why I approved of killing unborn babies. It was a rough day, I will not be able to do business with these people ever again.

11. Comes a time when even

the dullards amongst us must ask what the fuck is going on? There never was one valid reason for starting this war and it's out of control now.

edit: it's too damn early.

[Hand]

15. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED," shrieked the prep-school pussy...

...as his valet tried in vain to wash the blood from his hands. Alas, there was so much... some of it was thirty years old or more from the boys who went to Nam in his place.

:grr:

RIP, marines. You were far better men than those who sent you.
:cry:

[Catfight]

16. There's a war going on? Why? Are we being threatened? n/t

sarcasm on.

18. 20 U.S. military deaths in the last 4 days on icasualites.org

That implies some bad stuff happening, but you wouldn't know it from watching most news channels. But at least I know the accuser in the Kobe case wears dark stockings, after watching CNN today.

[lastliberalintexas]

19. Wow

It was only a few weeks ago that we were nearing that awful 1000th death milestone, and yet here we are about to break 1100.

If there is a Hell, I hope that Satan is preparing the proverbial Special Place for the members of this administration.

[livinbella]

20. what sad news today

all of it

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

21. Semper Fidelis brothers

this ex-marine (1968-72) salutes you in your service to our country. I am saddened by the knowledge you lost your lives for no apparent reason. I pray you rest in peace.........
