Why does not the “small price” mention the over one million people of Iraq who have died? In order to win the war we need to commit an even greater holocaust! This war will go on for another five years and Ge. Petraeus will run in 2012 with the promise to win the war within the next eight years....

Don’t you just love politicians, when they get caught in a lie, like Bush does all the time, it’s well you all misunderstood me? No, we did not, Mr. Bohner you said, “It’s really a small price to pay”, the question was about money and the loss of so many lives.
Yea, you support the troops all right, just slap another sticker on your car and it’s all good! Disgraceful.

Don’t forget they don’t count you officially unless you die on the ground in Iraq.  How many more have died as a result of injuries on their way out of the country?  Don’t worry about civilian or contractors death counts either.

In the historical context it is a small price, especially when you consider that 500 servicemen die annually in times of peace.

It’s a dangerous job.

Oh, KM in NY...one million people have died in Iraq? I heard it was ten million. No, 100 million. No, a billion.

Sheesh! Does critical thinking even matter anymore. Not in New York, apparently.

In the last 6 years -
over 3,500 Americans have died in Iraq
over 30,000 Americans have died from food poisoning
over 240,000 Americans have died on our highways
over 600,000 Americans have died from medical mistakes

Since there are not statistics on “wine”, I think I will have a glass, stop eating food, walk wherever I go and stay away from hospitals.  Seems like we need to enlist if we want to be safe.
