4. Wolf just gave the same number ...

... and said that '283 of those have come since President Bush declared the end of major combat...' or in other words, more than half since the 'mission' was 'accomplished'.

I think the sheeple can do that math.

7. "Relax, Celebrate Victory,"

By Richard Perle.

From start to finish, President Bush has led the United States and its coalition partners to the most important military victory since World War II. And like the allied victory over the axis powers, the liberation of Iraq is more than the end of a brutal dictatorship: It is the foundation for a decent, humane government that will represent all the people of Iraq.
This was a war worth fighting. It ended quickly with few civilian casualties and with little damage to Iraq's cities, towns or infrastructure. It ended without the Arab world rising up against us, as the war's critics feared, without the quagmire they predicted, without the heavy losses in house-to-house fighting they warned us to expect. It was conducted with immense skill and selfless courage by men and women who will remain until Iraqis are safe, and who will return home as heroes.

Iraqis are freer today and we are safer. Relax and enjoy it.
