I'm surprised CNN didn't drop the crystal ball in Times Square to mark the occasion.
You won't see that stat on CNN :)
Brokaw, jennings and rather may well do a broadcast together while they drink champagne and moan about the quagmire.
My mistake (too big of a hurry to post) should total 4302
off by 319
This has the makings of a trap.
If republicans argue "!,000 deaths are nothing." Look at the highways, etc.
Then we'll get painted as callous and uncaring. Especially if you add the 7k or so wounded to the cost of this war.
On the other hand, if we say "Oh my gosh, 1000k." Never thought it would cost that many lives. Then we admit miscalculation.
On the third hand, if we say. "We mourne the loss, honor the dead,dedicate ourselves to making sure that their deaths were not in vain." This is much better. But it still leaves open the question "How many more lives will this cost? How many more of our boys will come home but leave some part of them back in Iraq?"
That's not a pleasant question to have to answer. But it's better than either of the first two approaches -- especially since the RATS don't really have any alternative vision of how to win this thing and see it through.
But I don't think we can afford to let Iraq be seen as an unending spiral of more and more American dead.
"John F" 'em.

You used the word "touting". I prefer to think of it as "gloating".
Yeah, they will show up in a van, cameras running to deliver black ballons and black party hats.
If the left succeeds in taking over the country, it is the "fourth estate" that we should go after hold accountable first.
Now the left can pop the champagne and throw their Pol Pot lucks in celebration. I hope they all rot in hell.
BUMP!!!!!!!!!
How many have died because CNN and its liberal kin throughout the Left the world over have given the terrorists the hope of victory if they just hang on long enough, a la General Giap in Vietnam?
hey CNN how many combat deaths before the war was WON in iraq? fill us in on that one!
Heavy Fighting Kills Dozens in Baghdad
U.S. military deaths in the Iraq campaign passed 1,000 Tuesday, according to a count by The Associated Press based on Pentagon records, AP reporting from Iraq and reports from soldiers' families. The count includes 998 U.S. troops and three civilian contractors killed while working for the Pentagon.
Hey Dog, I hope someone got a screen capture of this. I just went to the CNN front page and it looks like it's already been pulled.
