On the day Operation Iraqi Freedom suffered the 1,000th death of a United States soldier, some quick numbers are in order:

1,095 days since the attacks of September 11;

538 days since the invasion and occupation of Iraq;

1,001 American soldiers dead in Iraq;

1,132 total Coalition soldiers dead in Iraq;

More than 20,000 'medical evacuations' of American soldiers from Iraq;

More than 10,000 civilians dead in Iraq;

0 weapons of mass destruction;

0 democratic elections in Iraq;

0 connections between Iraq and the attacks of September 11;

0 captures of Osama bin Laden, in Iraq or anywhere else;

$1.7 trillion to be spent on Iraq in the next decade, according to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences report by the Committee on International Security Studies (CISS).

3. Will Pitt's stuff always seems to be the stuff

that I end up forwarding to friends and family. Right before the Iraq war it got me in some pretty heated arguments with some family members. But you know what? A few have turned the corner and realized that those of us who were against this war were the ones who were right from the very beginning. I credit William Pitt with helping to enlighten a few members of my family to what's really going on. I love his work and have a tremendous amount of respect for him and Truthout.org.

4. "Oh, that's just some liberal sight"

That's the kind of reaction I sometimes get. Then I just have to ask, "Can you refute the numbers and info?" They never can.
