Its the deaths of thousands of Iraqis & G.I.'s I'm most concerned with
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 05:55 AM by Philosoraptor
The ones whose names we will never know, only their loved ones know their names, I am concerned with them, the many thousands of them.

And concerned about the 20,000 or so crippled G.I.'s, besides the 2,600 or so dead ones, and their grieving relatives. I'm concerned about the daily death counts in Baghdad, the scores of tortured, bullet ridden bodies being found around the landscape.

I'm concerned about all the needless deaths to come. If one famous person passes, it gets tons of ink, but no one will ever remember the names of all the dead in bush's wake, no one could ever remember all those names, and what they meant to humanity individually.

I am most concerned with Chancellor bush and the death I see in his eyes.

1. It is the welfare of my children, and their future that I am most
concerned with. Sorry.

2. i am concerned that another 10 US troops died Sun and Monday and
barely was it mentioned. No headlines--but the number was buried in a story
of the violence in Iraq. 8 killed and another 2 died from wounds from previous days

10 US troops die Sun and Monday

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060904/ts_afp/iraq_060904174355

……A total of ten US soldiers died on Sunday and Monday, one of them from "non-combat injuries" and the rest in combat, the military said.

The latest deaths brought the US military's losses in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion to 2,647, according to an AFP count based on
Pentagon figures.

Interior ministry spokesman Brigadier General Abdelkarim Khalaf told AFP that three police officers were critically wounded in a bombing in Al-Wabhiq Square in a largely Shiite and Christian district of Baghdad.

Sectarian fighting also raged on just north of the capital in Diyala province, which is in the grip of a vicious turf war between rival Sunni and Shiite factions. At least one civilian was shot dead and five more wounded.
