Anybody else noticing that it is getting harder to figure out how

[rzemanfl]

many people are killed in Iraq each day? This afternoon on yahoo news they posted the people killed "after dusk" (23?) separately from those killed in daylight. Then they separately mentioned the three GI's who most recently died for *'s lies. Then they mentioned three people killed by roadside bombs (allegedly while setting them). Then there were some kids killed on their bikes and some judge assassinated, I think there were some miscellaneous corpses too. I would have needed a notepad and a calculator to figure out the body count.

8. That's true... we've NEVER been given any real figures on that..

Not in any form. It's reprehensible.

9. Remember the story that went around right after 9/11. It was

2051 and a man takes his kid to the World Trade Center site and says "This is where the Arabs killed all those Americans." The kid replies "What's an Arab, Dad?" I guess a lot of Neocons are still thinking that way.

5. There will still be plenty of information about celebrity trials, kids

who wander off from camp and women who wander off from bars or rehearsal dinners.

6. But Baghdad is as safe as Houston,

according to Tom DeLay. I still would rather drive to the Houston airport...

7. But Bush is gonna do his PR on Iraq this week ??
