2 soldiers died friday, Brings the total to 2000?

[Maine-ah]

just reported on CNN, no link. They were just getting it in as they were reporting.

1. There was a time when we had lost only 2000 in Viet Nam.

It was over 58,000 dead American girls and boys when we came home ten years later.

2. How many more lives

have to be lost before * declares, "enough is enough". But then I'm forgetting that he doesn't have a conscience. My heart is breaking for all those families.

3. It truly sickens me

Whenever I think about the unnecessary deaths of innocent people...Those soldiers had families and futures and for "Dubya" to have such an ego that he sends more soldiers to Iraq makes me sick...and why doesn't EVERYONE realize what’s going on? He is pulling the wool over our eyes with his backdoor draft...And when I first saw the amount of money he is spending on his little "Operation Iraqi Freedom" bullshit, it makes me more upset than I have ever been...And as much as I hate to say it, he will not be impeached or taken out of office...he was handed, by Clinton, the richest, most powerful nation possible...and he ruined it...God bless the USA...

Seems to me they are trying to control WHEN the
AFSC VIGILS when the 2000th MURDER happens.....

NOT ONE MORE DEATH, NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR!
http://www.afsc.org/2000/

There are currently 375 events planned in 49 states and counting...

On the day after the 2,000th reported U.S. military death in Iraq,

people will gather in communities across the U.S.

to say that the country’s pro-peace majority wants Congress

to stop the deaths by stopping the dollars

that are funding the war.
