U.S. Iraq war casualties reach new milestone

[Rome]

And why are all the options zesty?  Because the U.S. never should have gone in at all.  Like I said from the beginning.

A full scale war wasn't necessary to anyone except the corporations involved who are reaping billions of dollars in blood money.

Death toll for U.S. has topped 100 for December, with three days to go.

Two of the five dealiest months in this never ending war were logged in the last three calendar months.  It ain't getting better.  Anyone who tells you so is lying.

The total count for U.S. dead is 2989.  It's distinctly possible that we could start the new year with the 3,000th casualty.

The plight of the Iraqi citizens is unmentionable, not least because so few people here give a damn.

Saddam won't make it to 2007

[Diomedes]

also, since I posted this morning 2 more U.S. casualties were reported. Nine more makes 3,000.

Even U.S. Presidents and cabinet members can learn the hard way that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

[Diomedes]

December '06 just surpassed October '06 to become the third deadliest month for U.S. troops (tied with January '05) since the U.S. invaded Iraq.

Only four more to go before the count hits 3,000.   

[Butchers Bill]

Only four more to go before the count hits 3,000.   

It seems like you are more excited for the count to reach 3,000 than the count down for the New Year Dio.      

[Diomedes]

"Seems" comes from you, not from me.  I'm pissed off these people are being murdered by their government.  But I've done my part.  I opposed this shtein long before it even started, when Bush and his gang of criminals--your heros--started the war chant.  I've marched, donated, voted.  I can't do much more than ring the bell each time these lives are wasted.

I'm just reminding you war mongering iceholes who supported this shtein how much blood is on your hands.  What you detect and misinterpret as glee is the disdain and mounting hatred I bear for you and your gang of bloodsucking greedy pigs.

[Butchers Bill]

Yet the irony remains that you hate those who are ringing the bell for.  Your soap box lecture rings very hollow when you post things like you are too good/smart to serve, and call those who are serving murderers.

[Diomedes]

I don't hate the soldiers.  I pity them. 

If I ever said I was better--and I don't think I have--it was long ago and I was wrong to say so.  I am however smarter, and as much of a waste as these deaths are, it would be that much and more for me to serve and die, since I know better.  They don't know better.

If you think I hate these poor bastiches, that's because you bear nothing but contempt for people who aren't as smart as you, and once again, that's on you, moneylover.

Saddam to be hung in 3 hrs. Yea! 

[MadMarchHare]

BOOO!  That might push someone ahead of me in the GhoulPool.  Wait until Monday.

[Geowhizzer]

Here's an interesting take on Saddam's impending execution.

In my opinion, this is going to be a dangerous thing to do.  No doubt that, by any standards of justice, Hussein deserved execution, but this could cause a nuclear explosion of sorts in the Iraq war.

This could escalate the fighitng to heights we fear to even think about.
