It's not 1,000 deaths...
It's MORE!!!

I keep hearing 1,000 deaths in Iraq. Not 1,000 deaths since the Godfather George ordered a hit on Saddam and declared mission accomplished. It's many more than 1,000!!!

We rarely hear the numbers of injured. Sometimes I think people believe the injured are getting a little piece of shrapnel in them somewhere, get patched up with a band-aid, and go right back into the arena. It's so maddening!

The other number that gets even less exposure is the number of Iraqis that have been killed. And these are just insurgents with RPGs and AK47s. These are men, women, and children who are civilians.

:mad: :cry:

3. Remember we are only hearing the numbers for the soldiers
that died in battle. If a soldier is injured in battle and dies later in a hospital, they are not counted as a casualty of war. Sick!
