There's a lot more dead than 4,000.  They only give us numbers that fit a small little criteria.   Contractors have been dying and Iraqi's too.



I'm going to commemorate by taking 30 minutes to imagine that bush was never born.

I'll say there are alot more than 4K dead, or don't the people who lived there count?

Yes, they do count. And, no doubt, a full head-to-toe of both men at once would have been well within the realm of possibility. Perhaps one could even have drawn the White House behind them as well.

Well, McInsane is promising us 100 more years, so we might well be able to do it in Mount Rushmore scale by then.

And "contractor" is just an Orwellian Newspeak for something that had a perfectly good names before, mainly, "war profiteers" or "mercenary" as the case may be.

I wanted to throw bush down in the spider hole with sadham, but the stinky government wouldn't go along with it.



another serious side effect of the war is that there are going to be a large number of people on all sides who are maimed and really messed up for the rest of their lives.   I'm betting both countries suffer because of the cost of supporting and trying to treat all the wounded and maimed for years.

I save my 'being kind' to people who deserve it, not thugs.  When its finally told the Blackwater story is going to be very bad.
