U.S. Iraq war casualties reach new milestone

[Diomedes]

At 85, this month is already the deadliest since December of last year.  At the current rate April '07 will probably go down as one of the deadliest in this neverending war.

Current count is 3,332.

[SD_Eagle5]

The average deaths per day is 2.4 for the whole war (call it 48 months). 

Very close to Philly's current homicide rate

[Diomedes]

2 and a half murders a day?  Ha.  What a shteinhole.

[Seabiscuit36]

Philly is the new Iraq

[Diomedes]

[Seabiscuit36]

2 and a half murders a day?

but it's just drug dealers shooting each other up, so who cares?

Why can't babies start shooting grandmothers? That's what I want to know.

but it's just drug dealers shooting each other up, so who cares?

why are their open air drug markets in every hood...why do you think theres a gun and liquor store on every corner in the hood....why do you think the only restaurants in the hood are ones that sell food that isnt fit for an animal...why isnt there jobs in the hood....why do the schools have no books...and most importantly why is all this allowed to happen

that shtein wouldnt fly in columbia md...westchester ny...or cherry hill nj...govt wouldnt let it happen

but they are more than happy to sit back and watch minority communities committ self genocide

[Diomedes]

it's more like assisted self genocide.

[ice grillin you]

true

[Diomedes]

this month also happens to be a very bad month for UK troops.  In fact, the worst since the war started.

I'm sure it goes without saying that you are doing your part to revive urban "hoods" in your area.  After all, it's impossible that you just sit at your computer and wax poetic about it without really attempting to effect any change.

Oh shut up, moneylover.  You're doing dick all to help anyone but yourself and your waterhead baby, so leave off the moralizing.
