We're at 50 for this month--well ahead of last month's total of 54. There are 8 days left in the month and we're averageing more than 2.5 deaths per day. Total so far? 962.

While Bush and his cronies trash those who served...let the rest of us pray for Godspeed for our forces, to get 'em home soon and let us vote out the craven bastard who sent 'em there to die in a fraudulent war.

1. Note the worthless reference to the Anbar Province

Since this area covers perhaps a third of the country the analogy would be like reporting something that happened in Denver as happening somewhere in the Western United States.

2. Kick

"This Week" with George Stephanopoulos stated that 19 soldiers and marines died in Iraq last week.

NINETEEN

Did any of us hear about this many? I certainly didn't, and now 4 more on one day.
It's getting so that it's not being mentioned much any more. I'm fucking sick of it.

3. One more in a roadside bomb a little while ago...

...bringing the total to 963.
