Bush said that "there's no question that October was a tough month.
We lost 103 soldiers. It was a tough month because we were on the offense, the enemy was on the offense -- the enemy was trying to affect us. And it was a tough month because of Ramadan. ... Our troops and Iraqi troops killed or captured over 1,500 people during this period of time."

What no apology to the families for there loved ones. No my heart goes out to those families of the fallen. NOTHING! Well Bush I see where you stand on the troops.

3. "Our troops and Iraqi troops killed or captured over 1,500 people during this period of time"
And how many of them were genuine terrorists engaging in genuine terrorist activity. If the goal in Iraq is democracy, why do they measure winning by the bodycount?

8. Yep, we're back to Vietnam style body counts
We out-killed 'em fifteen to one! USA! USA!

Yeah, a hundred and five KIA; that's a "tough month" for Bushy. So all you military widows and widowers just suck it up, cantcha? Bush had a "tough" month.
