3.23.2008Out Damned Spot Part VIIWith over 4,000 Americans dead, I saw an NBC news repport that quoted Dick (I'm as evil as Karl Rove) Cheney as saying King Georgie "bears the burden of this war more than anyone." Really! Really, Dick? If that's the case, maybe he should be a true Commander and Chief and stand on the front lines with the troops he so nonchalantly kills every day. Then, he may truly understand the burden of his war. It's insane that one man with so little sense is allowed to slaughter so many. And we continue to sit idly by (me included). Thanks for the tax incentive, though. It really pacifies me. And now, the numbers: American Casualties - 8,647 In Iraq (Military) - 4,001 In Iraq (Civilians) - 1,188 In Afghanistan (Military) - 484 During 9/11 - 2,974 Coalition Casualties - 307 Australia - 2 UK - 175 Bulgaria - 13 Czech - 1 Denmark - 7 Netherlands - 2 Estonia - 2 Fiji - 1 Hungary - 1 Italy - 33 Kazakhstan - 1 Korea - 1 Latvia - 3 Poland - 22 Romania - 3 El Salvador - 5 Slovakia - 4 Spain - 11 Thailand - 2 Ukraine - 18 Iraqi Casualties - 1,193,480 Twisted Wife thinks these numbers are inflated to get me more fired up about an unjust and treasonous war started by an inept President. She's probably right. I said it before, I support the troops. I'd like to see a whole lot less of them coming home in body bags.
