Notice how the media gives 5/1 as the start date for deaths, without
reporting the significance of that date? I noticed this. The media will not give the number for total number of soldiers killed in Iraq....I never see a number like 370+ on ony of their crawls or banners on screen. What the whores ALL do is this: they give the number killed SINCE May 1st, but do not give the significance of that date, when reporting it. In other words, they lessen the number reported by over 200, without reporting why they give the May 1st date as their "start" date. Are they assuming the public knows the significance of the May 1st date? NO. I contend they are HOPING that date is construed by the public to mean the start of the war. And no doubt, the same 70% who believe Saddam was involved in 9/11 also now believe the start onf the war was May 1st, and only 140 (or whatever number they use now) is the total number of soldiers killed in Iraq.
I hate this bullshit...they never stop figuring out how to cover for bunnypants. Kee-riced!

2. It'll come to a point where it won't really matter.
They keep playing with the start date as well as the cause of death, but it just keeps growing on them. They're running out of games to play with the numbers.
