3. God help us....... Rest in peace dear soldiers,
My prayers and tears are with your families, and with the people of Iraq: the orphans, injured, homeless, and displaced. I pray that this madness ends soon. God help us...........

4. 75 military fatalities so far in May ... 3.75/day ... 'shooting' for a record.

6. Not even close to the record, sadly.
The record for the post invasion period is 4.7/day in November '04, just after * stole the election and then felt at liberty to go postal on Fallujah.

7. Question: If "Christ died for our sins" ...
... would an Anti-Christ have us die for His sins? If so, I might be able to buy into the claim that Cheney/Bush is/are the Anti-Christ.

Insofar as a 'record' goes, 2007 is the record year. Not a month yet has gone by with less than 80 killed ... and May still has 11 days to go.

8. In 5 of the last 8 months 3 American KIA per day
Prior to these last 8 months, the 3+ killed per day was reached only in response to Fallujah 1 and 2 (Apr04, Nov04) and the Early 2005 Sadr confrontation. That is a very, very bad indicator.

I'm certain Newt Gingrich, Hume and FAUX will spin this in an attempt to claim the democratic victory in November is "emboldening" the insurgency.

Just something for everyone to watch for...

This is not to exclude the thousands of Iraqis who have perished in that time span.

14. A local news mouthpiece said "several" soldiers died this weekend in Iraq.
I'm firing off a letter to him saying several is NOT 15.
