2. The actual death number is actually MUCH higher than 1,456
I get this straight from military guys who've come straight out of the untold hellacious reality...and sure as hell don't want to go back. Get some truth from beyond what the U.S. corporate media will EVER dare to tell:
http://www.iraq-war.ru/tiki-index.php

Two old sayings illuminate this situation.

"Truth is always the first casualty of War".

"There is no Truth in the News...and no News in Truth".

That's where we're REALLY at.

4. Hey leftchick - I think you mean 1546
not 1456 in your thread title.


Thanks, btw, for your hard work at keeping this war on the front page of LBN!
You do a great job :)

6. What's a "Task Force Liberty Soldier"
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 10:43 PM by BattyDem
:shrug:

Do they mean an American soldier? Is this what they're calling them?

On edit: Never mind ... I just read another thread that confirmed it is the new "spin" on dead soldiers.

WTF? They give their lives for this country and they're not even given the honor of being acknowledged as an American upon death! :grr:

8. "Task Force Liberty" is the euphemism du jour...
...conferred on what the rest of the planet calls "invaders."
