What if the Death Toll in Iraq exceeds 9/11 casualties one day?

[Lovecrafty]

Obviously Bush, particularly Cheney, are going to continue and link Saddam and Iraq with September 11th...at this point it's all that seems to hold this whole debacle together since no WMD have been found, from the Repuke point of view of course! So given that Shrub and Cheney appear to be so adamant on avenging our dead on 9/11, what will they shift to once the Iraq casualties actually SURPASS the 9/11 death toll? What if we eventually have 4,000 dead and 15,000 wounded soldiers in Iraq? Will the American public still buy the lie and feel that Iraq was worth the sacrifice? I wonder what the official excuse for the war will be then?

1. Already has far surpassed 9/11 death toll...

...if you count all them dead brown people. But who wants to do that?

7. We don't need to count "them" and let's try to mention it again.

Didn't you get the memo from the media?

2. It exceeded 9/11 during the first week

unless one considers perfectly innocent arab people some different category

3. Iraq/Afghanistan innocent civilian deaths have already

more than TRIPLED US deaths on 9/11.

not that anyone cares about those damn brown folk jumping under our bombs... USA USA USA! /sarcasm

4. Even if you only consider US troops, it could some day.

I hope this insane occupation won't last that long.

5. It is not if but when

at the pace we are going, and that is only counting US Casualties, if you add ALL casualties, we surpased that a long time ago

6. If this was a parlimemtary system

it might bring down the government. It would take the mid term and national elections to do the same thing.
Worse than Watergate.
If we lost an entire army in one battle it would put paid to the PNAC/NEOCON CHIMP
delusions of grandure.
I have no doubt of it.
