God I hate our PATHETIC media.

Labor day weekend is a typical time for a story like this.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5917263/

1,100 wounded in a month. That's over 35 a day!

and...

"More and more often, children are lobbing the grenades, Ford said. Insurgents offer boys of 10 or 12 years old $150 to toss a grenade at a U.S. patrol, the captain said.

"For the longest time, we've had a good relationship with the children," Ford said. "Now this. Who enjoys putting a bead on a kid?"

2. Same kind of shit

that happened in Nam, and anytime you are an unwelcome occupier and the country is full of weapons due to unsecured borders. Cakewalk.

3. Excuse me, why should we bother our beautiful minds with this?

4. Saw something on TV said 26,000 wounded so far in this mess.

And still no injured have died! Amazing.

10. And media NEVER questions the number of overall fatalities....

What a miracle!

5. So much for our wank about effective urban combat

Our heavy body armor saves lives, but urban combat still inflicts heavy casualties.

6. men are being wounded AS I TYPE THIS, thanks to Bush

And the goddamn media doesn't care any more than he and Cheney do

7. They are SO LYING LIKE DOGS

AND PIGS IN MUD ABOUT THE NUMBERS. Prolly closer to 5,000 dead and 25,000 seriously wounded (if you "count" ALL WOUNDS).

11. 7 Us Marines killed today just like THAT....

Too bad the US Corporate media abandoned the Iraq story when Paul Bremmer left.

12. That's a lot of Purple Hearts for the RNC to mock and belittle.

They better get to work fast or else they'll never have enough painted band aides.
