excerpt:

(The Defense Department said on Friday that the number of American casualties in Iraq had passed 9,000, United Press International reported. From March 19 to Oct. 30, the Surgeon General's office said, more than 400 service members died, 1,967 were wounded and 6,861 were evacuated for medical conditions unrelated to combat.)

Some of the most seriously wounded come through Walter Reed. Already, 58 amputees have been treated at Walter Reed, 47 with major single-limb removals and 11 with multiple-limb amputations.

When soldiers are ambushed in Iraq, they are rapidly evacuated, their vehicles quickly towed and their plight boiled down into the day's tally of dead and wounded. "When we get injured, all it says is 'one soldier wounded,' " Acosta said, echoing others at Walter Reed. "Not that a soldier has lost an arm or a leg, or how hard that is."

...more...

that the dimson continues to stay away from the wounded and maimed because the picture of what he caused is not "happy happy joy joy" should infuriate everyone even more.

1. "6,861 were evacuated for medical conditions unrelated to combat"...

Right. Sure. Okay. No problem.

And all of the choppers we've lost so far have been because of "accidents".

Step right up folks...farmland for sale in the Gulf of Mexico!
