4. done
I noticed CNN was talking a day or two ago about how the attacks had decreased dramatically, and they were attributing it to the success in Fallujah. I noticed they went on to discuss the number of attacks, rather than the severity. Doesn't much matter to me if there were 5 attacks or 20, what matters is how many people were injured or killed, but they didn't report that.

12. Numbers artificially low?
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 11:42 PM by nebula
left out of the official count are casualties from the US-funded private army in Iraq, which include thousands, probably tens of thousands, of highly-paid American mercenaries/contractors in their ranks.

never, ever a peep about them in the 'liberal' MSM.

24. Now it's being DU'd:

Search for Advanced
You have given the news article U.S. Troop Deaths in November a rating of 5.
Its current average rating is 3.83 with 124 vote(s).

They just don't want to up the ante for them to enlist. They know they are going to have to... but sure the hell don't want to.

26. I wanna take this opportunity to say, I LOVE our troops...
and I am humbled by their willingness to sacrifice their lives...even though in this war, they should not have to. I only hope the American people will punish BushCo and all their ilk for how they've used our troops as fodder so Halliburton can rip off taxpayers.

28. Why in the world would anyone give a low rating

to a story that is nothing but a listing of the names of the Americans most recently killed in Iraq?

They can't take the truth, that Americans are being killed in Iraq? They don't think these men and women deserve recognition?

What is the reason?

Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 12:17 AM by lcordero
I think that whoever did it was PAID to hide the info in the first place. If I was the average freeper from Main Street, I wouldn't give a damn if anybody saw that article since all the goals were already met(control of WH, Senate, Congress, courts...)

45. but it's so petty and trivial. Who else would do this but freepers?
thinking if they vote-down a Yahoo story somehow it will slip past the American people?

What the fuck kind of ignorant attitude is that?

They are ACTIVELY freeping it. Is that pathetic or what? It shows glaringly what cynical liars they are.

Hey freepshitbags! If your cause is so noble, these deaths should only strenggthen the people's "resolve" right?

Marine Sgt. Rafael Peralta, 25, San Diego, hostile attack


This young man left behind a brother and a sister here in San Diego. He was like a father to them. I have to look them in the eye every day. These children left behind are in my Martial Arts School, and they know that I'm in the Military, and that I disagreed with the Iraqi quagmire.

Their brother died believing that he was defending democracy. I don't think I have the heart to look them in the eye and tell them the truth :(

52. Sorry to hear that
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 01:51 AM by malmapus
Work graveyard shift here in Irvine, my work mate is a Marine that just retired, lives down in San Diego, he still believes we're right in being there. I always avoided talking about it with him, until after the election when he came in gloating. Kinda funny, I'm ex-Army and guess the having been in service tag earns me more credibility with him than the other guys we work with who were arguing same points I was, but he didn't respond same way to me.

I just don't understand how our fellow buddies could still beleive in this operating and administration.
