4. This is a bit dated
Posting LBN stories requires some degree of responsibility, especially when it concerns the reporting of casualties.

5. The story was dated today
If I see anything newer I'll let you know.

The military is often a bit slow to admit their casualties. I wouldn't be surprised if we soon find out the casualties of the last few days were actually higher. It's happened many times before.

7. Already more fatalities this month than in June or July.
Already, August is the 6th bloodiest month of the 18 months since the immoral invasion.

12. Bush Never Speaks of Our Dead Troops
He doesn't deal with reality.

13. I'm telling you, Bush is on top because of the brilliant move to not show
the flag-drapped coffins returning home. The media is complicit. Out of sight, out of mind. Someone needs to offer up pictures of the returning coffins just as someone offered up the Abu Gharib photos. I know they exist. It's just a matter of someone having enough guts to step forward. If America could see the losses we are incurring they would take to the streets or at least vote against Bush.

You have to admit, Rove and his neocon buddies are masterful at not showing the dead and never even mentioning them on the talk shows. And the Dems are too stupid to bring up the subject. They spend their time chasing the tales of the campaign ads which is another diversionary tactic of the Bush regime. We just aren't as smart as the evil ones.

14. And the Bushco media-campaign machine
keeps us fired up about somebody's 35 year old medals. No need to wonder why.

Five more American families consigned to hell, and who knows how many in Iraq and Afghanistan.

15. I've asked the WH why....
they died and why Bush never mentions or honors them. I wonder what kind of answer, if any, I get. I hope every DU'er does the same. Democrats need to start demanding this administration be responsible.
