2,758 U.S. Troops now dead in W's war of choice
Forty-five this month. Cannon fodder. Yet this remains a sacred cow of the right.

1. At this point in World War II we were 45 days from victory...
Hitler was defeated.

The Brits, Soviets and French were joining us in dividing Berlin and Germany.

The UN charter had been signed in San Francisco.

We had the Japanese on their knees and had defeated the mightiest army on earth. (well, before we got ahold of it that is.)

45 days and this war will be longer than WWII.

3. I just unearthed an old sign
I carried during an anti-Iraq War march. The number of dead was at 377. I could cry.
