3. Now the media's meme will be.....

"over a thousand dead" - never taking the time to give us the exact numbers. Why not say this, "it was just yesterday that we hit the 1,000 mark and already we're at 1033." No, they won't get too specific because the sheep in this country are not much better than bug-eyed Barbara Bush who told us not to worry our beautiful minds over war dead.
