The Bush/Cheney Butcher’s Bill: Officially, 51 US Military Deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan from 1 December 2006 –14 December 2006- Official Total of 3,233 US dead to date (and rising) The actual total of dead American military personnel is now over 15,000 and also rising, and the number of seriously wounded is now ca 27,000. It should be noted that the death toll in October, 2006, 112, was the highest to date. The previous highest number since the beginning of the war was 108 in 2005. An insurgent mortar attack on Camp Falcon in southern Baghdad on October 11-12, 2006 caused stored ammunition to explode and initial reports indicate over 300 officially unreported casualties, dead and wounded.

This war is even worse than Vietnam. It is pure venal greed for oil. How convenient that a new "bogeyman" has risen in the shape of Islamic Fundamentalism. So Saddam was an evil dictator.. America hasn't overthrown other of like ilk. Instead have supported them either blatantly or tacitly. The horrendous loss of life for what? Money? Ego? Add sycophants like John Howard who continue to blindly support this travesty and tragedy. What is the result? Disaster! None of us should have ever gone there and now what a mess it is. Is the world safer? No way! It has inflamed the fires of terrorism and spread this malignant tumour. And the behaviour in Gautamano Bay? No better than those we espouse to be morally superior to. Disgraceful!

It was a good cause; we went in, obliterated their Army, took over the country, started a new government, and took down their leader. Mission accomplished, now we need to leave.

We need a draft with the appropriate deferrments for the more important people, then we need to expand the war to ensure OUR President Bush's legacy as War Leader. Then we will move forward to Victory. Hard work will set you free. President Bush is Victory. It does not matter how many of the unimportant we sacrifice, President Bush is worth far more than any number we can sacrifice. ONLY President Bush can lead us to victory since he IS Victory. If we are still in Iraq in 2008 and President Bush has not been declared President for life.... WE WILL LOSE.

It was a war we shouldn't have gotten into, but since we are there we need to stick around and keep stability. If we don't Iran and Syria will carve it into two pieces.

Uh, we don't have 15,000 dead.
The problem is people like you who think that war is the enemy. You really don't understand what's going on do you?
