Will Number 1,000 burst the bounce?

[Fescue4u]

How sad for George that his little bounce will go poof.

Its sad that another soldier has died, but maybe this will bring attention to whats going on over there.

1. not if fox has their way.

2. I'd like a DOD Journalist ask at the Daily Q&A

"Were they any instructions given to the US Commanders in Iraq to minimalize combat operations between August 30th and September 2"?

5. I suspected that this was the case.

We could not have a cease fire for the Olympics, but we could have one for the RNC.

3. Here is how it will be spun;

1. Not a milestone; when you add Afghanistan we passed 1000 long ago.

2. It is the cost of freedom!

3. 9/11! 9/11! Terror! Fear!

4. Would you rather those terrorists had killed 1000 people here at home?
