133+ dead soldiers in NOvember....what a waste
At least 133 U.S. troops have died in Iraq so far this month — only the second time it has topped 100 in any month. The deadliest month was last April when 135 U.S. troops died as the insurgency flared in Sunni-dominated Fallujah, where dozens of U.S. troops died this month.

1. Sick. Sick, sick, sick.
Too much loss of life, and it's all for a lie.

3. all based on lies told by Bush
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 08:14 PM by Malva Zebrina
and his lies have gone the memory hole and inconsequential at this point, as pundits on both sides, delight in analyzing the war, the troops, the lack of troops, the strategy , the bravery of the troops in defending our "freedom", the casualties , and the superior military technology of the US forces and etc etc.

The whole thing was based on lies. Not one lie, but at least twenty five lies, in order to embark on this war.

and nary a mention of those lies anywhere.

Yes, ours are dying in alarming numbers, and the numbers of the innocent Iraqi civilians are dying ten fold, if not more, due to the superior military technology and the megalomaniac, insane man, who in his stupidity had to lie in order to have Americans die, and in order to slaughter 100,00 innocent people--and their babies and their children. All for his greed and for his business buddies.

It has gone down the memory hole. When was the last time we heard or read of the lies?

The Bush lies are a thing of the past. They will not be mentioned again because the self appointed "war president" is intent upon being the alpha male with a Christian message to the infidels and he is determined to chalk up a "win" no matter how many have to die in order for him to chart his "legacy"

The focus, rather than being upon the lies told by our president and his accompaniment, is now upon our brave troops, 10,000 of them in Fallujah, fighting a rag tag resistance movement of a couple of hundred.

The propaganda is all war, all the time, and the titillation of a public that is turned on by the military might of the unstoppable United States of American, under a delusional, stupid and ignorant man, George Bush.

That oughta take the focus off the lies.

4. he doesn't care
he still thinks we were right to fight in Vietnam and that our mistake was we were not tough enough. even though he refused to serve in that war and did everything he could to avoid serving in it. he still supported others fighting in it.

he doesn't care about those who die in iraq either. that's why he didn't go to iraq this year for thanksgiving. even last year he only went because hillary clinton shamed him into going. and even then it was only for a short photo op.

7. Clarification of figures
The Iraq Coalition Casualties site

http://icasualties.org/oif/

is still only showing 128 US soldiers killed this month. They are usually the most up-to-date.

Wonder where the latest 5 were?
