Nineteen thousand nine hundred and ten troops wounded in Iraq
Just another number to tony snow, rush limbaugh, everyone who works at faux (except shepherd smith maybe), ann coulter, free republic members and every "christian conservative" who waves flags, sports magnets, backs bush.

They do not care at all about our kids dying

Oh, BY THE WAY, there are two thousand seven hundred and thirty seven of our kids who have died in Iraq because bush is a liar and tony snow and his band of scum don't care about them either and there is not end in sight.

Stay the course until all our kids are dead. Brilliant strategy.

HOW'S THAT FOR A FRIDAY AFTERNOON NEWS DUMP?

1. Yes BOSSHOG remember those deaths are just a comma
to the * regime.....not important to address, not important enough to attend a funeral....not important for * the coward to go to Iraq....

They don't care about lives of Americans they never have...

I am sick of it.....just sick of them the traitorous bastards in the WH

2. It's just a number.
Move along, there's nothing more to see here.

3. 19,910 WIA & 2737 KIA

And we have no way in the world to verify that these numbers are not under-reported. In fact, if we extrapolate other Bu$hco lies to these war casualty data, we can cipher that the figures are way higher. We know so little about what is happening over there, which is what the war-mongers wanted it all along. In fact, we probably know more about Mark Foley's sexual appetites than we know about the men and women Bu$h has sent to destruction and death in his elective war.

6. I think the numbers of wounded are much higher.
I doubt that the shell-shocked, psychologically PTSD troops are counted at all, or those that got patched up and sent back on duty. Then we have all those exposed to depleted uranium, white phosporous and god knows what other toxic materials, whose various cancers, leukemia, etc., will not become evident for a couple of years.

4. George and the rest of those guys can't appreciate sacrifice because
they've never had to (personally) sacrifice anything.

If George would've just SHOWED UP WHEN HE WAS CALLED instead of snorting coke, he might appreciate what real military folks go through.

5. One short tour in NAM
would have made george bush an entirely different person today. (That might be a stretch but I believe that would happen.)

I don't think anyone should have to serve in the military but those who don't serve should listen to those who have served relative to political decisions effecting the military. One would think that limbaugh and hannity have doctorates in military tactics, supply and manpower the way they blather on safely tucked behind their microphones.
