Iraq Body Count: Macabre Democratic Entertainment

Nothing makes Democrats more upset than the recess appointment of someone they spent five months trying to keep out of a job so the appointment of John Bolton to be the US Ambassador to the United Nations seemed to be a sting that would take Democrats some time to get over. All of that changed when Democrats got the kind of news they love – causality figures from Iraq went over 1,800. There is nothing like watching Democrats spar for airtime to become cautiously gleeful over casualties during a war against people who want to kill us.

Was Katie "touching" herself again this morning over the luscious news of military casualties?

Some idiot in my area keep a running total on the back of their car by marking it onto blank bumperstickers. I see it periodically.

CNN, NYT, Washington Post and the other MSM are instructed by their democrat masters to make every effort to allow the terrorist to win. One way is to try and destroy our military and the will of the American people. To do this they will stop at nothing to accomplish their mission.

As they did in Vietnam they will lie cheat and steal to destroy this great nation. They want the terrorist to win!
We must do everything that is legal to stop these TRAITORS and their help for the enemies of the American people.

They are despicable.

I'm sure if I had a like nut in my neighborhood I would display certain other totals: ~3,000 dead 11 September 2001...5000 lives saved in 4 years by voting Dinkins out of office...Death rate in Iraq equivalent to being age 47.

The death toll in Iraq throttles me. I fills me with grief and skakes my confidence in our ability to win, what is, a war on terror.

But, the grief is born more out of that fairweather "half" of our country that would just as soon give up than let these fine lost soilder's have a legacy equal to that of our WWII heros. Those men, we respect to this day for winning a battle of good against evil, and rightly so.

I don't know how this will turn out, nobody does, but I do know that for evil to succeed all ths it needed is for good men to do nothing. I have family in this fight, and I will not disrespect them by saying that they fight for nothing. We Americans are, and always will be, the better side of any argument and the brighter side of any dark day.

"The death toll in Iraq throttles me. I fills me with grief and skakes my confidence in our ability to win, what is, a war on terror."

Isnt that amazing? A single charge at Cold Harbor for 30 minutes was more deadly than 2 years in Iraq.
Many engagements in WWI or WWII chewed up tens of thousands of men in a single day.

Yet the death toll in Iraq looms large enough to 'shake our confidence to win'... why is that?

Here's my answer (see latest article):

I hate hearing about new casualties, but lets face it, they've been light. That's what we sign on for, anyway.
