Dead G.I. toll reaches 1,500 for those of you into numbers & statistics

[mopaul]

But, they 'don't do body counts', on the innocent anyway. One thousand, five hundred flag draped coffins. One thousand, five hundred young men and women, lied to, exploited, sacrificed and tossed aside into darkness and silence and obscurity. 1,500 funerals that bush didn't attend, not even one.

bush does not weep for them or mourn like he says, he doesn't give a fuck who dies, as long as he and his buddies get more power and filthy money.

And bush has no plans on ever leaving the middle east and no plans to bring the men and women home anytime soon. In the next 4 years, the number 1,500 will be remembered fondly, as the new figures crush the old ones. 3,000, 5,000, 10,000, mere numbers on a chart.

Only WE can stop it, when will we?

1. Its a Numbers game and the pain killer is Delusion..but when the

figure reaches 50,000, things might change a bit....

when it reaches 150,000...there will be a sea change.

2. Someone's been double-dipping; ICC count US = 1436. All troops = 1607.

Who's saying 1500?

3. I concur with your figures

4. my inaccurate figures

1,500 is my figure, and I'm no math wizard. Also, I haven't been keeping tabs, I figure it's much higher than that, considering every single utternance from their mouths is a lie.

6. I agree...

Yes, every single utterance from their mouths is indeed a lie. The statistics also do not include the ones who are, for all practical purposes, the living dead. Those are the ones with severe brain injuries, who will never again be able to function in any meaningful way. It also ignores the ones who have been so traumatized that they are just walking versions of their brain damaged comrades.

Bush and the neocons do not care; we face the risks, they reap the profits. Can one half of the voting public truly believe this corrupt and arrogant little man will keep us safe? I'd rather face danger than have him do any more damage to humanity.

7. And I and several others with me, spend hours every day of every week of

every month to ensure the ICC is accurate.
We have been keeping tabs, believe me.

8. I'm glad you are, someone sure needs to

or the men and women's sacrifices would be utterly forgotten

9. We are indeed, have been from Day 1; and you should see some of the

rightwingnut emails calling the site "saddam loyalist unpatriotic American-hating...etc etc etc". :eyes:

10. I do not believe these figures.

I look every day but I do not trust the DOD.

5. Did this even make the news?

Was it reported on the MSM or even in papers?
All the media is interested in is people actually got to vote in Iraq and Micahael Jackson.:wtf:

11. It isn't quite accurate
