2,000
Yes, we've hit the dreaded marker. 2,000 American lives stolen.
Every one of them was someone's child. Many, many of them were someone's spouse, someone's parent. And they are gone. And the reason, as any rational person knows, is lies fabricated by the White House Iraq Group, abetted by the New York Times and the mainstream media, unresearched and tacitly approved by both parties in Congress.
2,000 human beings.
And those are just the Americans. Multiply that number by 50,000, and we start to get close to the number of dead Iraqis. And of those over 100,000, thousands of civilians, the elderly, women, and, of course, children.
This is precisely what Traitorgate is about. Joe Wilson outed the lie, and he was punished for it. But the real punishment has been meted out to the over 102,000 ordinary folk who have been mowed down to benefit this profit-mad regime.
What human being with any sense of compassion can continue to support this illegal war that has massacred so many?

Funny how you use that number, because your objective is first to push your agenda, and the deaths are just a tool there. If you actually cared about dead Americans, you would have some heavy posting on heart desease, cancer, stroke, teen suicide, drunk driving, ect.
You're really no different from the right wing, which has used 3000 American deaths to promote a radical shift in foreign and domestic policy, despite the fact that the terrorists will never be as good at killing us as we are with a bottle of JagerMeister and a Volvo.
Where's the 300,000 strong march for a solution to this nations alcohol problem. After all, it is a factor in about half of all murders and traffic deaths. If 2000 dead warrents that responce, surely tens of thousands warrent an even stronger one.
If either party gave a rats ass about saving American lives, then terrorism and this war wouldnt even be on the radar.
