Five Years. 4000 Dead.

That's just the American soldiers who have been killed.

More than the total number killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, the event that was supposedly responsible for our presence in Iraq.

It is a breathtaking loss and I believe in the end, this will be Bush's grim and pathetic legacy (does anyone else notice the one conspicuously absent face in the casualty report of Bush's idiotic "War on Terror?").


UPDATE: check out the song written by Bob, a Chattanooga musician!

I'm a Soldier in the U.S. Army and when I heard news of the 4000 death mark I became sick to my stomach. I'm lucky enough to have been to Iraq and return home to my family but so many of my fellow Soldiers have not been as fortunate. And in my heart i feel like every one of those 4000 deaths our president is to be blamed for.



We've opened up a discussion on our blog so I can talk to people and answer their questions and hopefully make people understand that not all military are supporting this war and that every one of those deaths was important and unneeded. I'd like it you'd stop by and toss in your two cents.



I'm all for defending my country but U.S. did not need to be defended from Iraq.

Mission accomplished indeed! And Cheney has the audacity to say "So?"...
