I believe we are officially at 900 US killed in Iraq

[markses]

icasualties (formerly lunaville) has 897, including a Marine today:

However, the news stations (CBS, NPR) are reporting 2 US Army killed yesterday west of Baghdad, as well as another Marine (in addition to the one already listed) killed in al-Anbar today - none of which are currently listed by icasualties. With these other three added to the total, we have hit 900.

I expect icasualties to update sometime soon.

2. Bush brought this on himself. What a tragedy.

Fitting that the 1000th should be sometime around the pug national convention. Wonder what they will bring the terror alert to to distract from that one? What a terrible thing.

8. Was Wolf upset by the number?

Or was it just a shrug and "you never made a mistake"? Yes Wolf, I've made a mistake or two in my lifetime. But none of them killed thousands of innocent civilians, 900 American soldiers, and wasted billions out of the federal Treasury. This would seem to be a bit more than your garden variety "oopsie."

10. Ahh, those billions were not wasted,

They were stolen. We are being robbed blind. And if bu$h stays in, he will make drastic cuts to almost all federal budgets so he can steal that too.

9. I think it's time to get back out my sign

I used in Crawford in March of this year:

How many more soldiers have to die?


It actually gave the counterprotestors pause, I could tell.

That's all it says. How many more???
