1. I would never know about these deaths without DU. They aren't
reported on anymore.

3. So sad
They are caught in the middle of a civil war. Now would be a good time for them to come home.

4. latest meme from BushCo - War on Terra now called "The Long War"
...I suppose that means we can expect casualties like this for a long time to come.

8. Especially since this country apparently lacks the national will....
... to use our collective power as citizens to put a stop to this bloody madness.

13. And the Long War has become Iraq's Civil War as if we had nothing
to do with it. What war? What casualties? What accountability? It's a wonder any of us are still sane. These idiots don't care about reality, only perception. They could care less about the blood and suffering so long as the republicans keep winning and doing bidness. I think the congress and the press are going to have a lot to answer for aiding and abetting.

11. CNN just reported a few minutes ago the total of 7 dead today
Has anyone else here noticed the MSM doesn't even report the number of injured anymore?

12. If it's up to the republicans ...
it will never end.

Republicans (and yes many corrupt Democrats) serve the war-profiteering corporations and they are raking in bilions!!

The war is great for the oil companies, Halliburton, etc.

Young men and women dying for the greed of rich people who can't get enough.

"MORE! MORE! MORE!" they cry as the billions of dollars roll in.

14. Given what's going on over there it's surprising it isn't more....I wonder
if our military hasn't been told to "pull back" and watch Iraq burn. Let all the mosques be destroyed and in it's place new Christian Baptist Churches will be built so that peace can reign and these infidels can learn how to get along with each other.
