4. This is too sad for words.

1000 lives thrown away for nothing and our elected officials...what are they doing today...debating that stupid marriage amendment. They have plenty of time to enshrine discrimination into the Constitution but not to do something about DEAD people who didn't have to die GODDAMMIT!

5. and sometime the American 1000 threshhold will be reached

right now there are 100+ young American soldiers just waiting to fill those slots. And for what? For what. :(

8. Thank you

I'm really angry about this today. I'm furious at the way they are wasting time on this nonsense when they know it isn't going to get the 2/3 vote it needs to pass the Senate. It's pure politics. They want to use this vote to beat people over the head with in the election. They are supposed to be there doing OUR business. That they can waste time on this while abrogating their responsibility to oversee the "war" is an outrage.

7. Given the Orwellian-Soviet casualty-suppression techniques we've all seen

(I won't go through it all here, that would be one LONG post)

The number of Imperial Amerikan Dead is likely closer to 1,500.
