2. Does that make 1000?

Is that enough blood Mr. President?

Enough widows?

Enough orphans?

Can we bring the rest home now?

3. Still 999, I think.

I don't think they will report any more casualties until tomorrow AM.

8. And more importantly

Did he bleed enough for Bob Dole?

9. I am beginning to think...

That Bob Dole did not bleed enough.

4. 12:19pm Bagdad time - not 1,000

this is likely already included in the 999 total reported earlier today.

6. does this bring the number to 1000?

There are other posts saying the number is 999. Does this bring it to 1000 Americans killed?

Of course, no one is keeping track of how many Iraqis have been killed.

7. No... It's 999 still... but the day isn't over yet. :( n/t

11. It this rate it will blow on past 1000 by tomorrow

However they are already juggling the numbers and saying: 756 is combat, 557 before march, and so on and on.

10. Whatever the number, it's too many

for this corrupt, greedy war. :cry:

12. "How do you ask a soldier to be the 1000th one to die for a lie?"

Unfortunately this number will be surpassed and then some by the end of the week - it appears that we are averaging 2-3 a day at this point. Good God, George. WTF were you thinking?
