While NOBODY cares about the lives of terrorists, I would like to suggest that every dead non-American is not necessarily a terrorist.

The actual numbers are a tiny bit higher than those AMERICAN casualties.

Until we consider ALL the costs of war for ALL human beings we will never understand why "they hate us so much."

who in their right mind would trust the "Official" death count of US troops , they lie about everything else so why believe them on this ?

Now THERE'S a patriot.

And will Bush or any other neo-con have the balls to take Vassell up on his offer?

Of course they won't!

O I Predict the administration will attack or even destroy the Vassell's of this war.

I would argue that Vassell is in a way saying this sarcastically since he has NO CHOICE but to serve the 15 months. OTOH he's being a patriot to raise awareness that the congress is acting "like a two year old." I hate to say it but congress ain't acting like a two year old, they're acting like 60-70 year olds who know what their oaths are but continue to break them. I wasn't there so I don't know.

Vassell isn't scared and YOU shouldn't be scared either. This administration is criminal. Not YOU. Not ME. If this administration wanted to win in Iraq, they would draft the 180k private mercenaries into service, and they would shove 500-1M more into the country and lock the fucking shit down. Keep feeding it with 1000% support until it's absolutely done. Do a count, how many people do we need, what equipment and resources do we need, how many people can we get, how much money can we dump on this problem. How much more are Americans willing to put up with this shit?

Otherwise get fuck out like everyone is saying now.

There's no way that the administration will ride along with Vassell. They'd shit their pants. Or they'll just make up some bullshit to opt out.

I predict they'll destroy Vassell publicly or quietly. Another twisted "screw the truth" CMSM story to be news fodder for a zillion days to cover up their crimes. This will be spun, until your sick.

This is yet another reason to be proactive instead of reactive. Want to support the troops? Stop the fucked up version of this story before it starts.

HE'S A PATRIOT! PROTECT HIM FROM THE CMSM!

One more after thought....

If the numbers are to believed, (and I don't get my numbers from PBS)

3630 DEAD
66,000+ wounded
$750 Billion Spent

Then you can only attribute this to electronic voting machines that are rigged and allowed this administration into power in the first place.

America is suffering from a +R+A+S+H --- Government READ ONLY, ATTRIBUTED, SYSTEM, HIDDEN!!!

My numbers are from here
