999 U.S. troops dead in Iraq
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 11:12 AM by Downtown Hound
According to Iraq War Casualties website. Only one to go until the big 1k.

I apologize if this is a dupe.

1. Who will be the lucky winner?
Maybe they'll give some kind of door prize to the family of the lucky GI to get his face blown off for the 1000th time. Let's hear it, folks. The big 1 K and counting.

4. Why, they get a really cool American flag!
And a burial in complete secret! With guns going off and stuff! NEAT-O! And we all know Dubya would really love to attend the funeral, but he has to campaign so he can kill more soldiers. I'd like to say he sends his regrets, but I'm afraid he has no idea who the family is.

3. Will Bush get a bounce?
Yeah, more blood, more dead. Woo hoo!!! Being sarcastic of course, so very very sad. These guys need to say screw it, we're done, we want out. They have all got to be so combat fatigued!!!!!!! Disgraceful and shameful that our pResident lied and is responsible for 1,000 (+ I bet) dead AMerican Soldiers. God rest their souls.

5. But it's all worth it according to Powell, et al.
Yep, those brave soldiers are Freedom Fighters bringing Truth, Justice and Democracy to the heathens.

Notice how no reporters ever ask them when it will end? What's the exit strategy?

Kerry needs to outline his plan for an end and IN DETAIL. If not, he will simply be Gored with the "no difference between them" meme.
