as lunaville says, this is happening "stealthily"
but can they get away with it when it hits 1000?

1. Our media is a national disgrace.
Only a few still give the total after the "handover."

2. Yet since the "handover" the death rate has increased.
We lost "only" 42 troops in June, 54 in July, and 40 so far in August, with more than 40% of the month still left to go. :cry:

3. We have got to come up with a way
to collectively make the media pay for its efforts to destroy our republic. We simply can not allow the corporate media to get away with this treason. There must be a way for us to retaliate. Our citizens are dying for nothing, while in the process of killing innocent citizens of another country for nothing. And the media colludes with silence and/or lies. They must pay for this!

8. I've already done that. I watch no corporate news.
They don't care what a few thousands of us do. We have to launch some kind of campaign or collective action of some kind. I am not a very practicle planner of things like this. I tend to boycott and write letters, but to no effect. I am willing, though, to listen to some good suggestions.

6. By The Time It's Over
If it's ever over, I hope the death toll doesn't exceed the total number lost on 9-11. I wonder what the Repubs would think of that, if it ever reaches that amount?!? Would it all have been worth it then?

9. I don't know. I'm amazed that this ignorant and imperialist thing happened
in the first place. So many people saw it coming.

P.S. I like your screen name. When I was born, my family had a Great Dane by that name. He was a fawn Dane, and he was born on Christmas.
