Iraq Worse Than Vietnam

Share article:

For those of you paying attention, the U.S. was in Vietnam for more than five full years before we’d suffered our 1,000th casualty.

Meanwhile in Iraq, in just under a year and a half, we’ve already lost 1,009.

Also, for the record, from the start of the war (“Shock and Awe!”) through Bush’s announced “end of major hostilities” (“Mission Accomplished!”) the U.S. had lost a total of 139 troops.

Since handing over fake “sovereignty” at the beginning of July through today, we have lost 155 troops.

How will it end? What’s Bush’s exit strategy? Is there one? Is there any way out? You tell me.

    Please note "Rufus" (posting from IP 68.78.66.152)is the same user who previously posted as "Conrad" "Brad" "Johnhp" etc.

    Sorry the numbers are troubling for you, "Rufus". They’re troubling for me too.

    But your exemplary picture of the usual rage-filled Right Wing Bush Supporter is always refreshing!

    Rufus, sorry to hear you’re gay. I’m only sorry because your party doesn’t support people like you, so we’ll do you the favour of pretending you never said that.

    No worries. Your secret is safe with us.

    You’re a disgusting pig.

    I have no problems with gay people Dufus.

    What’s a party? "An established political group organized to promote and support its principles and candidates for public office".

    Rufus, I’d be happy to. Bring a 6-pack and your automatic assault rifle, if it makes you more comfortable.

    Nothing like the tantrums of the weak!
