CNNI just reported 4 US soldiers killed near Baghdad
That's all they know, but we can figure their ages were between 19-23.

3. Remember when the media used to make a big deal about things like that?
Now it's scarcely mentioned in a quickie news update, and buried on page 17 of the newspaper.

12. Shortly after Lieberman, Pryor, and Nelson voted against timetable
several troops were killed.

It must require a personal investment or involvement to "feel the pain."

7. wrong
she promised if bush felt benchmarks were met we would have a few combat soldiers out by 2008. The ball is georges to run with again with extra $$$ to boot! He can do whatever the fuck he wants just like the last 6 years. Also note the "combat troops" out, no mention of how many support troops will be left there forever to guard the bases, oil and the US Imperial Palace. So much for an oppositition party eh?

8. Once more Sunday Bloody Sunday
They're still bringing the soldiers home in the dead of night, leaving it to local news to tell people that one more soldier from the area has died in Iraq, I'm getting to the point to where I dread Sunday.

9. Yesterday evening on CNN
I saw part of a funeral service for a soldier. The reporter said six of them were killed in that ambush. I never saw that in the media.

10. End. It. NOW.
End that stupid, illegal, immoral, unnecessary war based on lies.

And do it NOW.

No more authorizations for any more funds to support that war.

1 more soldier killed is too many.

4 more soliders killed is WAAAY too many.

End. It. NOW.
