4000 and counting

Another "milestone" day in Iraq.

US death toll in Iraq hits 4000
The American deaths occurred Sunday, the same day rockets and mortars pounded the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad and a wave of attacks left at least 61 Iraqis dead nationwide.

4000 in 5 years... 800 or so a year... 1000 every 12-14 months. 2+ every day. Right on target... Good Job, Bushie. Just remember though ...these are not mere numbers... they are lives of sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and friends (Faces of the dead)
