Keep it up, George.....
On track to hit 4,000 by the end of the year!
Other developments The Pentagon on Monday identified four U.S. National Guard units that will return to Iraq for a second time: the 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, based in Little Rock, Arkansas; the 45th Infantry Brigade, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; the 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Indianapolis, Indiana; and the 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Columbus, Ohio. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates signed papers Friday for the four brigades to return to Iraq later this year or in early 2008. The 12,000 troops are to be rotated into the country to replace forces that are leaving. Six American soldiers died in Iraq on Sunday, including three killed by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, U.S. commanders reported. In another attack south of the city, one soldier was killed and three wounded Sunday when their unit came under rocket or mortar fire, according to the military. Two more soldiers were killed in fighting north of Baghdad, in Salaheddin and Diyala provinces, U.S. commanders said. Four U.S. soldiers also were reported killed Saturday in an explosion in Diyala, which includes the restive city of Baquba. The U.S. death toll in the Iraq war stands at 3,280, including seven civilian contractors of the Defense Department. A powerful car bomb killed at least 17 civilians and wounded 26 others Sunday in Mahmoudiya, south of the Iraqi capital, authorities said. At least five people were killed in blasts Sunday in Baghdad, police said. Also Sunday, 17 bodies were found Last edited by pisser : 09-04-07 at 11:42 AM. |

So then, what would you do (be specific)?
Tell us how your plan would stop the civilian deaths, jihad, and global advance of terrorism.

In other words, it doesn't matter to you what happens to us as long as we leave Iraq in ruins. Nice plan.

4,000? Is that the magic number then? Big deal. We once fought a battle in which nearly 8,000 American soldiers died in only three days. And after that we fought a month long battle in which more than 26,000 American soldiers died. Granted, those were the bloodiest battles this nation has ever fought, but even compared to more recent wars like the one in Vietnam, this one is rather tame. 4,000 is just a number, and you want to boil our soldiers' sacrifice down to a politically-loaded statistic. That's just cold, and wholly irrelevant unless you also consider the deeds those soldiers have accomplished over the past four years. But you won't acknowledge that the war has done any good whatsoever, so damn your statistics, they don't mean a thing.

This isn't your daddy's Vietnam war. The stakes are lower, the troop deployments are lower, and the casualty rates are lower too. If you're wondering why there isn't as much outrage, that's why. |

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you have to quote an old fat cat capitalist famous for sucking big from the government teat.
It's perfectly legal to pay extra taxes if he doesn't like the reductions...help pay for all the "phone taps" and the war. Funny he doesn't seem to notice the other response to record deficits, increased spending, but he might be getting senile so he's excused. As to all the "we" stuff he thinks he's involved in; I suspect he's actually just sitting on his ass and bitching without participating in any of the things he claims "we" are doing. I'm certainly not in any "mess" and I wonder what kind of mess a much wealthier person could be in. Just a cranky old man with a famous name who just happens to bitch about all the same things theknife and all the liberal parrots bitch about. Parrots of a feather....bitch together. |

That stuff really doesn't turn normals on like it does you knife.
You could condense it down to reasonable size if you want it read but it'd probably end up indistinguishable from your standard squawks, which even you seem to have grown tired of. Last edited by albed : 11-04-07 at 07:55 PM. |
