The make a noise about the dead soldiers but easily overlook how many innocent cilivians the yanks have killed in their shock and awe bombing campaigns and the death toll is still rising as I'm typing this comment! How many families lives been destroyed in Iraq? This is fucked up!!!!!!!! All just for fucking oil!!!!!!

Ron Paul *always* talks about ending the war.

[THEATARIS]

u can have SO much fun ... with me m

[abram730]

So you pay for it shorty... How about we have a tax only for those that are for the war... Got a trillion in your bank you can spare?

[urlocalSAVAGE]

This has gone way too unnoticed. We need to worry more about the 30,000+ dead iraqi civilians. Not combatants, civilians. Women and children and innocent men victims of an illegal occupation and some how they're terrorists and we're "liberators"

[bludrums]

American deaths caused by the Iraq war are over 8 thousand. The government doesn't count deaths out of Iraq. Only deaths on the field. Not deaths from soldiers sent to hospitals outside Iraq. This is as of last year (2007) so the figures are probably low.

From the start of Clinton's term to the end, the DOW went up over 300% & if I pulled out my money I could buy 3 times as much.

Under Bush the DOW has been relatively flat & if I pulled out my money it'd buy only 1/2 as much -- the price of gas, milk, bread, fresh fruits & vegatables, meat & electricity have all more than doubled in costs.

Futhermore, under Clinton the unemployment rate went to 3.8% -- a rate Bush has only been able to dream about -- millions more unemployed at Bush's rate.

[tangoscottt786]

what prosperity, gas price is over 3 dollars, everyone i know is not feeling prosperous. you are another brainwashed fucking idiot.

stop blaming foreigners, start blaming your own fucking greedy idiots.

[RationalLiberty]

no the world should decide our election (write ins for Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich)

[cooll6]

I cant believe you fucking idiots are arguing over the number of people killed or severely injured. it hurts to read these comments. peace

[dubaigaygirl]

that is easily the most ignorant comment on this board.

the toll is closer to 50-65,000 thousand soldiers.

this is common knowledge in the Middle East. and as usual in the USA you will never hear the truth, until 10 years down the line, just as with the other wars.

Stroll in the park. Sure. Come on over .....or go visit your local amputee vet clinic and say that outloud.

good luck with that.

[oldhacks]

its 4,001 now after today.

Died of Self-Inflicted wounds 145

wounded 29,314 <- modern medicine saved these peoples lives other wise we'd have the same numbers we had in vietnam. They will forever be disabled physically and mentally though.
