May they rest in peace, and may their families find peace.

I'm speechless - I'm numb - And Chaney says "full speed ahead" in Iraq. WHY???? For what reason???? WMD's?? Saddam??? "The Noble Cause"???? "The Mission"? Democracy??? Oil??? Why are our brave men and women dying and being maimed? Why does this administration say they support the troops, and pretend the dead and wounded don't exist? And they cut funding to the soldiers who return home and are in need of care? Hypocrites, Liars, that's what they are.

1. sadly, cheney could care less about the deaths. They aren't even numbers to him
as I doubt he even keeps up with them. I go to icasualties.org several times a day. It's a great website with up to the minute information regarding the casualties in this senseless, immoral war of choice.

8. TahitiNut, Thank you for posting their names.

I see that they are all men, mostly in their early 20's. They range in age from 20 to 40. They are sons, fathers, and brothers. They were patriots to this country. Rest in peace dear soldiers, rest in peace.
