Oh Oh--THE TODAY SHOW paying tribute to those who have died since May 1
Do they know that they should not be reminding us of these annoying details.

2. Good For Them! The families of the fallen soldiers will appreciate it
I hope they mention that AWOL hasn't attended any of their funerals because he's got a vacation to prepare for and fundraising to do.

3. Thank you for starting this thread.
(Tears streaming down)I was beside myself, watching these families' expressions of grief. Excellent job by the Today Show, but I am under the impression that they listed only those killed in hostile action, and only since * declared "Mission Accomplished". Is this correct? There were less than ten Marines listed, and it didn't appear to be enough for "one a day" since May 1.

It makes me even more resolved to press for the investigation of those tyrants in Washington who have lied to the People to promote their financial agendas using the blood of our brothers and sisters.

7. I noticed that the number of dead
was awfully small. I wish they had included all of the dead since May 1, especially since the Pentagon's description of combat/non-combat is purely subjective.

6. NBC Nightly News just did a quick mention. . .
. ..of the soldiers who died this week, maybe more. But they definately took care of those who passed this week.

8. This is good, I think. Is it aired in response to those heartless
comments by Republicans who are saying it was all worth it to get two people?
I have a 'Bush Lied, People Died' bumper sticker on my car and I have seen a lot of sheepish looks and averting of eyes lately. None of that horrible hubris like before. Are they realizing Bush's game?
