We Are Up To 2580 This Morning.

Still showing 18,777 wounded but I think they only update that once a month.

100 Iraqis dying a day.

And there are rumors of a coup against the new govt.

1. We bleed a small battalion a month

in KIA and wounded, but not RTD.

This makes neo-cons feel powerful because the only soldiers neo-cons like are dead ones.

2. It`s downright horrible.

What a pile of sorrow.

3. And, is it me, or does the violence just seem to be getting

worse and worse? And today I saw a report on how bad the corruption is - nothing is getting done. And all of our money is just being dumped into the desert sand.

This is such an awful mess.

4. Funny, I read that initially as a temperature!

As in we are up to 2580 F this morning! Did a double take there.
Must be all the heat threads.

Still, that's terrible. :(

5. Actually that is what it feels like here today.
