1. Sad and pathetic.

Anger-inspiring. Makes me wonder if MY generation can clean up after this shit.

2. Only a thousand more to go, before we've thrown another log on the fire

But we still don't have OSAMA, and after all, Saddam HAD to have something to do with it, he sorta kinda lives in the same NEIGHBORHOOD, after all.....:sarcasm:

[elehhhhna]

5. goddam it

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. Lynn: Do you mean in addition to the 3 already from today?

(The two Marines in the one incident and the one Marine in the other?)

Those three are now confirmed, and that took it to 1996. You don't mean three more, do you?

[LynnTheDem]

14. Yes, unfortunately.

6. Soon as we get verification we'll be 1 death shy.

And the rightwingnuts will DENIGRATE the deaths of 2000 troops by spewing crap about 40,000 Americans died in traffic accidents in the USA.

Never does it occur to their stupid MFing little moranic selves that 2800 people died in the 911 attacks 4 years ago, and gee, 40,000 Americans died in traffic accidents in the USA....PLUS we've lost another 2000 American lives, PLUS we've got 25,000 maimed Americans, PLUS we've got 50,000 mentally disturbed Americans, PLUS we've got 100,000+ dead Iraqis, PLUS we've got increased terrorism and the threat of, PLUS we've lost $300 billion of our money, PLUS Rice says we'll be out of Iraq in "less than 50 years"...

Rightwingnuts; STUPIDEST MFers ever.

9. I can't believe how the deaths are escalating....

When I was in DC exactly four weeks ago Cindy's sign at Camp Casey III had 1910 deaths! 30 days! :cry:

[elehhhhna]

11. How do you ask someone to be the 2 Thousandth man to die 4 a lie?

[LynnTheDem]

15. I remember how horrible we all felt (at icasualties) when we were at 999.

The waiting for the next death, the 1000th. At that time, my husband was still Iraqmired and all I kept thinking was don't let it be him...and then feeling so bad coz I was hoping someone else's life would be devastated, not mine.

I hate George W. bush and his Cabal totally, utterly, completely. And if karma doesn't get them in this life, God will. I take some measure of comfort in that.

16. lynn, thank you for undertaking this horrible but necessary task.

[LynnTheDem]

17. Thanks, elehhhhna; I'm just a little cheezie; Pat & Michael are

the Big Cheezies. It's really tough doing this though, I gotta admit that. Some days it's nothing but tears; daily it's names and photos run through my head.

You should see some of the rants Pat & I exchange now & then though. We'd make sailors faint in shock. :D

7. My Nephew is there right on his 2nd tour, he also did a year in

Afghanistan, i dread every report that comes out. When he left this time it felt different, i was scared the 1st time but this time i feel dread almost all the time.

8. It Could Be 50,000 - Americans Are Dead, Spiritually, Mentally.

America (as a people) has been put to spiritual and mental death. It appears that only God Almighty can resurrect this dead corpse.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. Why would he bother to?

Looking at our country, I'd sure as hell leave it to die if I were a deity. But that's just me.

[brettdale]

12. Its a pity

Thats the MSM has stopped reporting the deaths.
