we need to stop waiting for the 1,000 soilder to die.. they already have

[southernleftylady]

if you count the 978 in the iraqi war and the 133 in the 'enduring freedom' war that is 1,111 :( why dont we put the two together??

1. Because the media only sees Iraq.

2. Let me explain this to you.

I'll also explain it to the Republicans since they have a hard time separating the two events:
The war in Afghanistan is a war against our declared enemy, al Qaeda. The war in Iraq is a useless war that is merely an extension of the Bush/Hussein family feud. Yes, all of the deaths are tragedies, but the deaths in Iraq are senseless.

3. Because we've been saying they are seperate. And should stick with it.

Democrats agreed (and agree) with fighting in Afganistan. We hava also insisted that the combat in Iraq is NOT part of the "war on terror".

If one is argued to be legitimate and the other is not than we should not combine the body counts.
