Are troops killed in Afghanistan included in this thread? If not, I think they should be.

13 dead in one week, between your first and most recent posts! bush doesnt have the track record and honour to lead your country at this time.

But over 2,000 dead a week due to neglect/corruption/torture leads you to believe Saddam should have been left in power by his UN protectors who were profiting from the misery of the Iraqi people.....

Great list. Let's make it better. Anyone have a list of the 10,000+ Iraqi civilians who have died?

For which month of sanctions did you want that list of 10,000 names? Or are we not counting the millions Saddam killed?

You went deep into this thread to find people to argue with, without ever offering your condolences to our fallen. Too bad you missed our repeated warnings:

The mother of a 24-year-old Marine from Kentucky killed in hostile fire in Iraq said her son had dreams of one day becoming an FBI agent.

Lance Cpl. Deshon E. Otey, 24, of Radcliff, Ky., was a rifleman assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, which is based at Camp Pendleton in California. He was killed Monday in the al-Anbar province of Iraq, officials said Tuesday.

And:
Officials on Tuesday also announced the deaths of two other Marines who were in Otey's battalion.

They were: Cpl. Tommy L. Parker, Jr., 21, of Cleburne, Ark., and Lance Cpl. Pedro Contreras of Harris, Texas. Like Otey, both were riflemen assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

The bravery of these men and women is astounding and beyond belief to me. I only hope that I can live my life as good as I can in honor of their sacrifice, and be inspired by their courage should I ever be called upon to make the sacrifice myself.
