5 MORE US Marines die...not that Bush voters give a shit
How many more, America?

===

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's main Sunni Arab political party on Wednesday demanded an international investigation into allegations that security forces illegally detained and tortured suspected insurgents at secret jails in Baghdad.

Five U.S. Marines were killed in a firefight in the western Iraqi town of Obeidi near the Syrian border, the military said. That brought to 2,079 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the war began in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

4. bush supporters are the reason they are dying
They have enabled the gop to go forward with their death and destruction because they are too proud to admit they are wrong and too cowardly to enlist. Five more funerals brought to you by the bush base.

6. I AGREE WITH BOSSHOG
I am disgusted by people who still surpport bush and believe me, here in Texas there are plenty of them. I just sent big box of cookes to some Marines "near the Syrian border" - I support the troops more than bush supporters EVER will

5. "Stay the course".........
"Senators saw the same intelligence as I did", "re-writing history"..... and the bodies of our young continue to be shipped back in the dark. Iraq is no closer to peace but their sham democracy IS "making good progress". :eyes:

Now the White House is on the attack again, branding everyone who disagrees with them as traitors who are aiding and abetting the enemy. If the American public falls for this shit and starts supporting this lying little weasel again I WILL move out of this damned country, I swear it!

7. All of the Bush voters I know don't have a clue and don't WANT one.
They cannot tell you the number of troops deployed, how many have died, what % is constituted by the Nat'l Guard or reservists, what the fuck "stop loss" is, etc., etc.

It is willful ignorance.

As long as we are killing somebody in the Middle East (which they also could not find on a map) and Bush says "stay the course", well....all is peachy.

8. this sept and so far this november
is the first two months in a row that there are numbers of 3.9 deaths during the war. there are no reliable figures on enemy combatant deaths so there is no way to see the kill ratios. this doesn`t look very good for the guys and gals over there...
