CNN is touting the 1,000 US death in Iraq

CNN

[Dog]

CNN has a JUST IN banner up announcing the 1,000th death in Iraq.

Scum

This is so crappy, I can't even be my normally sarcastic self.
What vileness. What hatred CNN must have...

[GSWarrior]

It's good to be reminded of these things. Now it's time to move on and continue what must be done.

[Brilliant]

Must be true. John Kerry just broke out the bubbly.

[familyofman]

I wonder if FNC will report this?

[Dragonspirit]

Vultures.

You know though, as much as the Dems might want to use this, it's pretty easily countered. The 1,000th death is no more or less meaningful than the 633rd, or the 874th. To make a deal of this is to be choosing symbolism over substance.

It's all magic numbers to them, eh?

[WoodstockCat]

Bush should get out in front of this and say that our resolve to triumph over terror will mean the sacrifice of many. However the sacrifice of each one is measured as an individual. There is no number of sacrifices that will deter us in our resolve as a nation to fight this war on the terrorist's front door so we do not fight it here in our streets and homes.

Are they celebrating like their friends the DUers?

[sweetiepiezer]

Of course they don't state how many deaths are not combat related.

As I posted earlier; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1209318/posts

Let the political hacks denigrate our servicemen! I hope John F'n Kerry tries it. Hopefully, it will end all hope for his candidacy.

The CNN ghouls are filled with glee over the news.

[tigerteam_ab]

Evidently CNN finds round-number statistics more compelling news than the stories of heroism and sacrifice that our troops are living each day in Iraq.

We should all grieve for these soldiers and their families. Whatever CNN's intentions, it is good to remember and honor these heroes.

"CNN is touting the 1,000 US death in Iraq"

This should be done as a memorial to the brave souls willing these days to protect and die for all of us....

including the ingrates at CNN.

[mystery-ak]

Do they have his/her name yet so they can race to the family's house to see how it feels to be the 1000th casuality?

[lormand]

When Nixon took over the war from Johnson, there were about 500 US soldiers dying in Vietnam a WEEK!

[Old Sarge]

And I wager the corks are popping over at DU, and at the DNC War Room.

I don't care who sees it: I hate these people for what they're doing.

[No-Compromise Conservative]

Zell Miller totally nailed these left-wing scumbags. These people are so low that when they look up they see the gutter.
