stop politicizing the Iraq situation. On average, 3 American soldiers die each day during peace time (training, accidents, etc).

I asked this question because it puts in perspective war and death. No soldier's death is good. The way the media plays this out is so biased and taken totally out of context.

I heard this out of the mouth of Mark Simone. He said this on the Mark Levin show today.

Man, you are dreaming.
That is pure horse droppings. All you have done is get taken by some right wing idiot that will say anything to get his way.
Clinton did fight one war on his initiation and one chopper crashed killing the crew outside of the Country of Serbia. Aside from that the military won the war without losing a single soldier in combat.
I am sure some of our troops died in the Southern Hemisphere, but that is mostly covert operations and the drug war. Small time stuff. No Bush started a war on his initiation and it was the wrong war, in the wrong place for the wrong reason which have not been stated by Bush as yet, and I don't think Bush will ever admit why he invaded Iraq. But the whole world knows the results.
Bush is the worst President in the history of the United States, period. Your lies will not change the situation.

What perspective is that? You are comparing soldiers that died in accidents to soldiers that were sent to a trumped up war to die an early death. there is no perspective here.

so... our military kills more of it's own soldiers in accidents than the enemy kills?
I'm not so sure that's a good thing?
I still haven't seen any actual sources and it just sounds odd...
I mean... is that an excuse for action?

Its disingenuous to compare peacetime deaths under Clinton to the illegal war started by Bush. The blood of the soldiers killed in Iraq are on Bush's hands and he should be impeached.

So?....that comparison serves as what?..If you are saying that sending and manufacturing war ,and the deaths that are still be counted in Iraq are somehow on the same level as accidental deaths due to training are the same...you disrespect all the troops.
