1. Threw 3,000 more bodies into the cause, did they?

Almost makes up for the number of dead military personnel serving in that lost cause.

3. it's a political addition to clamp down on the turmoil for the election here

kindling for their fire

[whistle]

2. By the Bush logic that our troops must die to win, total victory

...will be when all our troops are dead!:wtf:

4. they are expendable

to the ones who are sacrificing NOTHING

5. 150,000... For 812 more days...

Sounds like another 2000KIA, 15000WIA and 75000 Iraqis slaughtered by 20 Jan 2009.

6. "stay the course"

7. Hey why not? The "right people" have nothing

to lose and everything to gain...

9. This is why they've made Kerry the news all of a sudden.

Anything to divert from the truth.
