1,002 soldiers died in Iraq alone!! The media just covers for Bush every way it can.

1. They DID die in the war on Terror

The problem is, their Moron in Chief sent them to the WRONG BATTLEFIELD in that war!

[truthspeaker]

2. Nope, they died in the war for oil profits.

[ladjf]

4. and the war for votes.

3. More than 1002 soldiers have died in the "war on terror."

My points are these: The "war on terror" includes the war in Afghanistan. These soldiers are left out of the 1002 number.

The war in Iraq, which had no terrorists before we invaded, is responsible for the 1002 deaths but the media is complicit in narrowing our focus to just these deaths.

5. The 1002 + all the Soldiers the Traitors are Not

counting because they died in a humvee(or any other friendly fire incident) or committed suicide ..Died because W(rong)sent them to die for an Invasion that was based on Lies.

The bushites were determined to go into Iraq the moment they had their sucessful coup on the USA government.

Their reasons for going into Iraq are no doubt multifold..strategic geopolitical placement in the Middle East, Israel, Oil, Haliburton, daddy didn't do it, war president..ad infinitum..

6. In Iraq, 1002 US soldiers died in the War OF Terror

It was a War of Terror from the beginning. Count the ways:

Shock and Awe

Abu Ghraib

Falluja

Najif
Allawi puppet government

etc., etc.

And, yes, it was all about grabbing the Iraqi oilfields with their $5 trillion worth of black gold.

Bush: Shoot, Loot, and Scoot

8. Good points all.

:Hi:

[spooked]

7. They did in The War on Islamic Fundamentalists

I hope it was worth it.

[spanone]

9. I agree. They died, no less heroically, in a sidebar to terrorism.

10. Even Kerry himself did it... Doh!

"Today marks a tragic milestone in the war in Iraq. More than one thousand of America's sons and daughters have now given their lives on behalf of their country, on behalf of freedom in the war on terror."
- John Kerry Sept. 7, 2004
