US Battle deaths in Iraq have surpassed US battle deaths in Mexican War
I am going to bed but here is a sad fyi i just realized: According to antiwar.com and icasualties, 1,788 US servicepersons have been killed in combat in Iraq.

In the Mexican War, there were 1,760 killed in battle.
In the Spanish-American War, 385.
In the Revolution, there were 4,435 battle deaths and in the War of 1812 there were 2,260.

1. Pretty soon we're going to surpass those killed on Sept 11th
...meanwhile Bush will have retired, Cheney will probably suffer a massive heart attack, Rummy will be pretending to be senile like most war criminals & no one will give a shit about what Condi is doing.
