356 U.S. soldiers dead.

It was 254 during July 4th. That's when Bush said to bring the terrorists on.

1. What's shocking is that they are from EVERYWHERE! Not, so much South!

And, what about the over 1,600 who are wounded? Who are they? Where are they from? If they are scattered around the country and the world...one here one there.....it makes it hard to get our towns and cities rallied......and to get the average American to see the Outrage....of this Hoked up Invasion and it's terrible consequences.

And, what if we could see the faces of the Iraqi Children, the old, the women, the men....the non-terrorist combatants. who are dead and wounded. When will America and Great Britain put an end to this? Bush's Folly......how does that man sleep at night? Lyndon Johnson fretted constantly and the protestors could picket in front of the White House in those days.....on PA Avenue........Bush doesn't see the protestors.....and maybe he sleeps with the "Deck of Cards" on his night table...thinking with relish about "one more" terraist.......I got......dead or alive...but mostly dead is the way we like 'em. Bring 'em on!.....He chuckles as he turns out the light.

2. Not any less horrible, but note that these are *coalition* stats...

...includes our British brethren as well.

I wish they would acknowledge the wounded as well...

3. Another non-hostile gunshot victim too

Spc. Paul J. Sturino, 21, of Rice Lake (WI) died Monday from a non-hostile gunshot wound, the Army said. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and was in an area south of Mosul in northern Iraq, where the death remains under investigation.

He went to Iraq in March. Sturino had re-enlisted for another year as a member of the 101st, but his tour of duty was extended because of the war, said brother Alonzo Sturino, who served with Army Special Services in Iraq until this summer.
