A year ago, 43 Americans were killed in July in Iraq - 78 killed last month

[bigtree]

For those who suggest this is 'progress' or an improvement, that death figure represents an 81% increase in U.S. deaths over last July.

1. .........

surge or escalation this is what I think about it :puke:

2. The Bush Administration would prefer us to compare the number of deaths

to those killed last month, not last July. Or, even better, why don't we compare the deaths in this month to all those who died in the great Chicago Fire or the Great San Francisco Fire. Or those consumed by Mount Vesuvius. Really any large number of deaths will do, so long as it makes 78 look not so bad.

5. I've seen the number compared to murder rates, drive-by shootings, and car accidents in USA.

3. Yet it's being spun as the best month this year because 'US'

casualties are down. Very short attention spans.

4. A generation ago, John Kerry asked, "Who will be the last to

die for a mistake?" Here we are again, confronted with the same question. It is both heartbreaking and maddening. Out NOW. Not 2008. Not 2009. NOW.

6. There was a memorial service for 4 soldiers in Germany yesterday

All out of Schweinfurt, for those who know the area.

"So you little people, you citizens you, can just shut up about all the dead people and stuff. War profits are WAY up for my republicon Homelander cronies, and Royal Privilege is blocking you from finding out about our lies and treason, so everything is Totally Peachy. Smirk, smirk, smirk.

"I am going back on vacation -- so shut up and sit down, you noisy proles, or I will have my republicon Homelander Goons slam you into a detention camp. Smirk, smirk, smirk,"

10. One more saved as... pic in my collection. Thanks! (sincerely)

I know, I know. We will be "ridiculed" for it. We will be "laughed at" for spreading it.

Some will tell others to "LAUGH AT US" (since 2000, we say "LOOK AT THOSE YOU R BEING CATAPULTED TO LAUGH AT" if you want to know the TRUTH they R secretly trying to HIDE).

Economist ridiculed in 2003 for predicting Iraq war to cost $2Trillion with $75 oil.

Yes. They RIDICULE and catapult others around them that they should LAUGH AT the few ones who want to spread the TRUTH: they try to TERRARIZE them by catapulting, over and over, that THEY WILL BE LAUGHED AT if they continue to spread the TRUTH.

Thanks to ourselves for not letting them TERRARIZE us FOR SHOWING THE TRUTH.
:thumbsup:

8. But but..

The surge is working because the July numbers were under a hundred.

Sarcasm.

9. But just yesterday, one "news" station was calling this July the

best month this year. Stats are troubling things, I guess when you have a liberal agenda.
