6. that is what exactly bush wanted to divert our attention on another

killing conflict in Lebanon/Israel, continuing their PNAC agenda, Cheney is celebrating that he finally got what he wanted, Cheney what a waste of human life. That body count will continue to climb with no remorse from bush and his cabal.

4. You mean in Iraq?

2,567 dead? I thought that war was over. I`m sure it is because Tucker Carlson is in Israel now.

7. Everyone of them is someone's son, daughter, father, mother

uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew, niece, friend ... It's not just a number, they're lives being lost in an immoral and illegal war. And our losses are way less than the Iraqi people. NYT reported a UN story that 100 Iraqi civilians a day are being lost in this war. I am so ashamed of this whole mess and more ashamed that our Congress is not doing enough to stop the killing.

Iraqi Death Toll Rises Above 100 Per Day, U.N. Says

BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 18 — An average of more than 100 civilians per day were killed in Iraq last month, the United Nations reported Tuesday, registering what appears to be the highest official monthly tally of violent deaths since the fall of Baghdad.

Iraqis mourned one of the 53 killed Tuesday when a car bomb exploded in Kufa, a town in the south that is the site of a major Shiite shrine.

The death toll, drawn from Iraqi government agencies, was the most precise measurement of civilian deaths provided by any government organization since the invasion and represented a substantial increase over the figures in daily news media reports.
