1. It does seem we lose sight of this; I blame it on

not hearing it on the news, but the soldiers and war are one of the reasons a lot of us are here. Thank you for bringing these numbers to our attention.
And welcome to DU!

3. Cheney doesn't care about those numbers, though.

Number of pipeline bombings
Halliburton profits.

THOSE numbers he cares about.

Liars and murderers. Cheney and his criminal gang will BURN IN HELL.

I don't know who I hate more, the criminals in charge or their stupid supporters.

One day we will walk to the Iraq War memorial and walk out crying "for what?!?" just like we did the Vietnam War memorial.

>> One day we will walk to the Iraq War memorial and walk out crying "for what?!?" just like we did the Vietnam War memorial. <<

It's a good capture and an excellent quote. Thank you.
