1. Oh my God. I really want to go outside and scream.

[daleo]

2. This month has been bad

That is a lot of deaths, considering that there are not really any "major engagements" that the news media has reported, as far as I am aware. You wonder what is actually going on.

[deutsey]

3. 51 US troops killed in September

I don't know what I want to do first: puke or cry.

Damn it.

24. Jebus it's only half over! n/t

[Jacobin]

4. The pace is quickening

I wonder how much worse it would be if Smirk hadn't told the generals to hold down casualties until after the election.

Things must be even worse than the European media is saying.

This thing is blowing sky high.

Damn Bush and his neo-con bastards

[Beetwasher]

5. Oh Man, And The Troops Are Supposedly Holed Up Tight and Given

Orders to stay on the bases as much as possible and it's STILL on track to be the bloodiest month of the war.

Oh man...

[Jacobin]

10. After the elections, there is going to be an even worse bloodbath

Man, I'm am really really concerned. We all knew it was going to hell over there, but the pace is really quickening and, as you say, with Rove holding the troops back to try to keep casualties down in the election cycle.

6. Please Mr. junior, Bring the Troops HOME now!!

Do something right, please....

[Maeve]

7. Some idiot wrote a LTE about "why don't you tell the GOOD news from Iraq"

Objecting to the "7 troops dead"... :eyes: :grr:

May they rest in the light of love.

Someone tell Dubya "3 a day" is about dairy products, will ya?

[RedEarth]

8. CHIMPY said "bring em on"..........wonder when the media will

actually start reporting what's going on in Iraq....instead of white washing the entire disaster over there.

[AlCzervik]

11. They brought it allright.

[Iceburg]

25. 23 or 24 in the last 4 days

disgusting

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. Heritage Foundation guy is confident that a "counter insurgency"

next year will fix everything right up. They have been "on the money" predicting a rose petal welcome, so I have no doubts!

[Jacobin]

19. You're kidding, right?

Did he really say that????

[The_Casual_Observer]

20. Yes, on a PRI show called "To the Point"

today at 1:00 KCRW Santa Monica. It was the guy with the British accent.

[4_Legs_Good]

23. To the Point is the BEST show ever

Warren's out this week, though, I think. I'll have to download the show and listen anyway, though.

22. But, didn't Shrub say?

Mission accomplished?

[Goldmund]

13. September is on track to become...

...the second deadliest month for US troups since the beginning of the war.

[Lindacooks]

14. God, the death rate is speeding up!

It's got to be a civil war over there.

[Minstrel Boy]

15. It's only a civil war if Iraqis are now American citizens.

I don't think Emperor George W Caligula has yet extended that privilege.

[progressivebydesign]

17. You wouldn't freakin' know it by seeing our media!!!

It doesn't even MAKE the front page of any news anymore.. online, or otherwise. How DARE this media stand down on the casualties!!???

[progressivebydesign]

16. Bush didn't EVEN MENTION THEM in his speech to Nat'l Guard!!

They should have booed the coward off the stage! He is sending their brothers and sisters to die, in a war he fabricated.

[Wright Patman]

18. The dying soldiers

still worship *. They believe the lies. So should you or their deaths will have been in vain. < /sarcasm>

[teryang]

21. Experts agree on defeat in Iraq

Bush's "Stalingrad."
