as lunaville says, this is happening "stealthily"
but can they get away with it when it hits 1000?

1. Our media is a national disgrace.

Only a few still give the total after the "handover."

2. Yet since the "handover" the death rate has increased.

We lost "only" 42 troops in June, 54 in July, and 40 so far in August, with more than 40% of the month still left to go. :cry:

3. We have got to come up with a way

to collectively make the media pay for its efforts to destroy our republic. We simply can not allow the corporate media to get away with this treason. There must be a way for us to retaliate. Our citizens are dying for nothing, while in the process of killing innocent citizens of another country for nothing. And the media colludes with silence and/or lies. They must pay for this!

5. Stop the lying liers

tune out CNN,Fox(faux),email both snooze networks and tell them we are angry and we are not going to look or lister anymore.Call their partners in lying(crime)the advisers and tell them you are not going to buy their lies and products,wait and watch the change.(money talks BS walks,the BS will take a stroll) Try it you'll like the results.

8. I've already done that. I watch no corporate news.

They don't care what a few thousands of us do. We have to launch some kind of campaign or collective action of some kind. I am not a very practicle planner of things like this. I tend to boycott and write letters, but to no effect. I am willing, though, to listen to some good suggestions.

4. It will definitely hit 1000 before November...

...and it will have to be a story then.

6. By The Time It's Over

If it's ever over, I hope the death toll doesn't exceed the total number lost on 9-11. I wonder what the Repubs would think of that, if it ever reaches that amount?!? Would it all have been worth it then?

7. It will be 10,000

Easily.

9. I don't know. I'm amazed that this ignorant and imperialist thing happened

in the first place. So many people saw it coming.

P.S. I like your screen name. When I was born, my family had a Great Dane by that name. He was a fawn Dane, and he was born on Christmas.
