1. Sadly, it'll keep growing...Bush's "stay the course".

WHY?

2. October U.S. death toll in Iraq hits 103

<snip>

"The American death toll for October climbed past 100, a grim milestone as a White House envoy turned up unexpectedly in Baghdad on Monday following a rough patch in U.S.-Iraqi ties. At least 81 people were killed across Iraq, including 33 in a bombing targeting workers.

The U.S. military on Tuesday announced the deaths of two soldiers, raising the number of troops killed in fighting in Iraq this month to 103.

In a brief statement, the military said one Baghdad-based soldier was killed at about 5:00 p.m. Monday after being hit by small arms fire during combat in a western district of the Iraqi capital.

A second Baghdad-based soldier was killed at around 5:30 p.m. Monday when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb just south of the city."

3. So it's 103 troops killed for the month in W's war of choice

As Tony Snow says, it's just a "number". What a cold hearted sob. We attack a country who was never a danger to us, decimate it, and then call our dead troops "just a number" Freaking unbelievable.

4. We`re winning.

That`s why the "number" doesn`t matter. Just ask Bush.

8. No. That's Bu$h's ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION.

Recommended, none the less.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.... and, if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ...
