The Nat'l G Charley story... how many, who said.... where are they really

[TrustingDog]

any solid info, please....
I am thinking those numbers, along with the poor souls who died in Florida, are calculated by the same bad abacus that tells us how many america soldiers and Iraqi citisens have died...

Losing Dollars and Sense in Iraq

......

It should be obvious that we need assistance. The United States cannot even continue to supply the troops to secure Iraq without more help. A recent CBO study which I requested makes it clear that to maintain the level of troops we now have in Iraq will stretch us very thin, should something happen in Korea or elsewhere on this troubled globe. Our National Guard is being asked to stay longer and longer in Iraq to help backfill the shortage in regular troops. These are men and women with jobs and families and key roles to play in their own communities. We cannot continue to utilize their skills in Iraq without suffering the consequences at home. Even now, as a hurricane lurks off of our shores, there are worries about shortages of emergency personnel because so many national guardsmen and women are serving in Iraq.

3. Who is the "A.R." moderator who moved this to the lounge?

Sheez, this seems more than a "fluff piece" for mere musing amongst lounge lizards. This is a serious matter for discussion. Things are being pulled willy-nilly from GD this morning. :shrug:
