4. Despicable!

More dead because of these failed policies! At the very least, former Governor Bush (R-White House occupant) could tell us how many lives will have to be sacrificed for this endeavor.

6. Four hundred's gonna be a hard number to spin

We're very close to 400 now, and much as they quibble about "hostile" and "non-hostile" deaths, the number can't be retracted once it's spoken.

The sound of the number is a very sobering thing.

Sad.

7. I agre.....

CNN actually said "397 deaths since the start of the war" while reporting this latest soldiers death. 400 will be hard to spin, Indeed!

8. Unless they bring up the Civil War..........

or some such spin. I can just hear Rummy calling us gloomy gussies or negative nellies and mentioning the battles of Antietam or Gettysburg.

10. They're coming in so fast now

that I'm losing count, lunaville has the count at 393 dead and they're pretty accurate. I believe that 500 is going to be the magic number, that's when the press and public will finaly turn on this band of idiots, and it's going to be too late, and it's tragic that this is what it takes to wake people up.
I'm going to start a 500 pool and at this rate I think we'll reach it by 21 December, merry christmas.
