being killed in Iraq?

There have been 65 this month and 43 since we hit 1000 dead.

3. CBS is the only news network that mentions
the fallen and pays tribute to them. Don't see any of the others do it.

It is hard to sell shrub and the defense prez when the defense is looking bad in the news!

7. Our soldiers are deployed somewhere?
Wouldn't know it by watching the telly-vision. Media lies and so does Bush.

8. Horrible

The men and women who have died over there should be revered for their being sacrificed. Their coffins should be trotted out every day so that we can pay homeage to them and to give them one last sendoff.

If this war is worth what Chimp says it is, then the American people will respect the troops while also carrying on. However, the support (such that it is) for this illegal war is so tenious ANYTHING that could give reason to question the war will be subverted, such as the dead soldiers.

9. Time to do a mass emailing asking about the total of men/women killed
A mass emailing by the members of DU might hit them a little bit.

Let's start with the Tweety bird followed by Wolf Schlitzer.
