1. 48 so far in April ...

... and it is only April 9.

That figure was as of this morning.

3. I believe it to be much much higher

I'm not a conspiracy person, I just feel that the true numbers would overwhelm the senses. Eventually, it will come out, but we've lost, we lost this from the moment the first boot touched Iraqi soil.

4. It's the ones that don't count

If they die after they leave the battlefield, they don't count.

If they commit suicide, they don't count.

If they're Poles or Brits or Spaniards or anything but Americans, they don't count.

If they're civilian contractors, they don't count.

If they're Iraqis, they especially don't count.

7. I agree

I knew Wednesday when they were reporting some pretty intense battles, but had no figures on casualties, that the shit had hit the fan bigtime.

6. And they say the Maytag repair man is lonely?

How about the guys at the recruitment centers? I can't imagine anyone rushing down to sign up to join this fucking mess. My God....
