A Terrible Observation About Our Dead

[ThomWV]

As of today we have lost 885 American service men and women in Iraq. They are dieing at a rate of about 2 a day. God bless them every each one.

At the rate they are going we will loose our one thousandth service person just about 2 weeks before the election. Should we expolit that tragic day, the one we know is comming?

1. No Exploitation

The number is what it is. The press will report it, and nothing further need be said. The Republicans need to defend it. Democrats don't need to make any special note of the change from 999 to 1,000.

3. Bush doesn't mind exploiting them

However, pointing out just how bad the death rate is not exploitation.

Using the truth is OK. Well, unless, like Bush, the only reason to mention the dead and dying is to garner votes.

The dead died for NO reason. They continue to die in vain. They are dying for lies. Use that truth...and there is no exploitation.
