Poll question: Do you trust the timing of the Pentagons reporting of US soldiers deaths?
Not the actual numbers. Can't lie about them. I am talking about delays of reporting of deaths when it is to Bush's advantage. Do you think when Bush goes on one of his "Iraq is going swimmingly" campaigns that the Pentagon cooperates and withholds reporting the deaths and wounded soldiers for several days or more as not to ruin the intended propaganda?

1. Trust the gov't? Are you kidding? I still don't even trust the numbers.
Too many stories of US soldiers in mass graves and being dumped in the rivers. This fiasco has been nothing but lies since the day the idea first came up. I don't think there has been one piece of truth come out of anything in Iraq except that it's a disaster.

3. I doubt coverups on numbers are possible

4. Yes, I've read her comments. I agree completely, but the gov't has
not been truthful at much of anything, and there are still all those stories of dead GI's in mass graves.

2. Trust? Pentagon?
You did use those two words in the same sentence, right? :sarcasm:
