Have these people seen the "soldiers" we would be facing? I think Nicole Ritchie has more meat on her bones than these walking chopsticks.
Didn't Joe Biden predict that Desert Storm (1991) would cost America 10,000 lives to invade? These estimates are so presposterous as to be beneath comment. And why are so many Americans so damn squeamish when it comes to the sacrifice neccessary to destroy the enemy? We lost as many men in ONE DAY at Iwo Jima as we have lost in Iraq in 3 YEARS. The deaths were horrific, but the sacrifice was worth the cost of those brave men's lives. However, if people like Nancy Paleolosi were around then, we would have been suing for peace on the eve of victory. And it disturbs me that so many Americans buy the arguments about Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush has not helped matters witgh his bumbling explanations, to be sure. But the fact remains that the America that knew and accepted the cost of war is long gone, and the lazy, spoiled sissies we have become is very discouraging for our future.
I distinctly remember talk of 40,000 body bags. Remember it very well, it must have been the number out in the media.
