Are Americans that fragile that they can't be told casualty numbers?

[CatWoman]

This is a bunch of shit. We know why they won't give exact numbers.

1. Didn't they give the numbers before the election?

I thought so. Once we went over 1,000 they stopped.

2. The truth is that the MANDATE that bush thinks he has is so fragile

that if the people could actually hear the casualties, they would realize what a fuck-up bush and his regime really is.

3. I think we are obviously acting too stupid to understand them because we

still have not raised our voice collectively and told GWB he is a fuck up and needs to stand down. We as Americans allow this clown to stay in power after all this shit. We deserve what we are getting. Too bad we includes those who know better, but still can't get their voice heard. Sorry to rant, but I am fucking pissed about this entire sorry situation and episode in our history.

6. Last I heard

It's 1360 dead US soldiers.

The reason that the media doesn't tell us that is that people might get cranky at the Chimp. Then ChimpCo would take away their payola.

10. Some of you may die

but I'm willing to take that chance, said the Chimperor to his Flying Monkeys.

110 billion barrels of oil divided by 1,360 dead. A "crude" calculation indicates that's almost 81 million barrels per "transfer tube." At $40 per barrel, every brave hero nets the "oil"igarchy well over $3.2 billion. Well worth it. < /sarcasm>
