ATTN: Kerry Campaign: Sept. Is Second Deadliest Month In Iraq!

[leftchick]

Hundreds (perhaps thousands, they don't keep count!) of Iraqis Killed and wounded!

The US Is averaging 3.11 Dead Soldiers a DAY in September and it is only the 18th!!

There is only one other month that has been this deadly to our troops and that is April 2004!

I think NOW would be a great time to bring this up!

1. I thought we were out of Iraq

I'm watching the news this morning and hearing lots about McCauley Caulkin and Michael Jackson but nothing about Iraq. Maybe Democracy is thriving over there and they just forgot to tell us.

2. no kidding.....

I had to give up TV "news". It is like being in the twilight zone.
