1. Thank God, they seem to be easing.

Accidents happen. that's what goes on when you are moving so many men and machines in a small area. It is no less of a loss, but there are plenty of soldiers who die in the US on a weekly basis due to accidents.

I am thankful, however, that there have been fewer combat deaths over the last 10 days. Those could have been avoided and shouldn't have happened.

3. It is bad enough the hundreds have died, but have you considered

these soldiers don't walk alone...they are in a company of men and when they are attacked the company is attacked.

What is the injured count? Bush and Cheny have it classified.

Washington Post reported last week that it is 10,000 Troops!
That was last week. Planes fly into America nightly to offload the injured and Walter Reed can't take them, it is full of wounded, they are being put up in gov't subsidized hotels.


We have murdered tens of thousands of Iraqi's and Bush is responsible for the deaths and injuries to America's finest.

ALL ON A LIE!

When does impeachment proceedings begin?

4. Never

Not with this congress.

5. I think it was the Costa Mesa City Council that sent a petition

to congress to investigate whether the lies bush told leading up to and during the Iraq Invasion amount to impeachable acts.
