2. Not the highest day

22 died in april in the initial falleujah assault (sp, sorry) in April, and 19 died in a single helicopter crash last Novemner (2003), I think...

a disaster

5. CNN reporting 20, also 22, and 24. It makes my head spin. Any way you cut

it, it's terrible.

7. 24 total, 19 soliders n/t

11. Whatever.

The more US dead, the more smoke Bush blows up America's ass.

[Solly Mack]

12. True that.

[lebkuchen]

13. All the more reason to hold those Iraqi "elections"

I'm still waiting for the US tolerance threshold for incompetence. Are we there yet?

[Solly Mack]

16. Sadly, no.

:(

Many seem to have too much pride to admit they were wrong. Their pride is killing people but it seems willful ignorance taste better to them.

[lebkuchen]

17. The 1ID has lost over 60

Whichever unit these soldiers belong to, I reached my limit a long long time ago.

20. Ah, gotcha. Thanks. (n/t)

6. 19 "confirmed" There may be some "unconfirmed" Wounded=?

This is tragic. So tragic.

What might we be doing if a foreign nation invaded us unprovoked?

I want our children to come home. Let the Iraqis have their country and the government they want. If they didn't overthrow Saddam, why should we have done it. At least under Saddam and until Desert Storm and the sanctions, Iraq was a beautiful, historic, literate, and basically healthy nation. Now what is it? And the irony is that Saddam never did or would have done to his country what we have done.

[nostamj]

9. wounded = 60+ n/t

[Solly Mack]

10. Confirmed means they have identified them

and are in the process of notifying relatives.

8. Where I live

there is an independant public radio station that airs the BBC news in the early morning. As soon as I heard the words "officials have not yet confirmed the report of a large explosion on a military base in Mosul" I knew it was bad.
Just yesterday, the Liar in Chief told us how well things were going there......... :shrug:

14. send the twins

Be patriotic. They too can be protecting our freedom

[proud patriot]

15. 63 U.S. Casualties in Dec.

:cry: http://icasualties.org/oif/

[latteromden]

19. Nearly 1,500... *sigh* How many more have to die for a mistake? (n/t)

18. in a macabre sort of way

it reminsd of when the market would drop 60 points every time he opened his piehole.
