The latest milestone for a country at war came Friday without commemoration. It came without the precision of knowing who was the 2,974th to die in conflict. The terrorist attacks killed 2,973 victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
An Associated Press count of the U.S. death toll in Iraq rose to 2,696. Combined with 278 U.S. deaths in and around Afghanistan, the 9/11 toll was reached, then topped, the same day. The Pentagon reported Friday the latest death from Iraq, an as-yet unidentified soldier killed a day earlier after his vehicle was hit by a roadside bombing in eastern Baghdad.
Okay, Bushie's war has now killed more Americans then the terrorists did on 911. Can we stop now? Can we just say the scales are balanced and we're even, and let's go home? Let's get our young and brightest out of this meat grinder. Perhaps we could relocated some to Afghanistan so maybe we could actually FIND the mastermind behind the attacks. Remember him, Bin Laden? This just upsets me, wasting our young lives like this in Iraq, that had nothing to do with 911. And what's even MORE upsetting is that there's NO outcry from the public! Why don't American citizens care about it?

The leading Republicans don't care because they don't have anyone of their children in Iraq. In November the control of Washington must be taken out of the hands of those Warmongers and given to those who actually care that human life is being taken for no logical reason.
I can sure think of better uses for 2700 American flags.
Not to mention 2700 Americans. :(
