I thought we were way past that. Am I right?

2,731 or something like that at the moment. That is only counting our forces.

Re: 3000 in iraq
well the media will probably mention it, the administration will acknowledge it and the war will go on.

Re: 3000 in iraq
Sucks. At this rate we have a very well chance of being drafted.

Re: 3000 in iraq
3000?!?! Wow, that's almost as catastrophic as WWII.

While you can't compare this war to WWII, that doesn't make a death count any less significant. It's still 3K lives and everyone that knows those people so you're talking a big impact. |

About the deaths, it really boils down to what everyone perceives is the purpose of the war. There is the "No war for oil, bush lied for halliburton" crowd, the "Bush toppled Saddam and is installing democracy" crowd, the "kill all muslims" crowd, the "US is imperialist and must be destroyed" crowd...everyone justifies or opposes the war in a different way and it is an individual's belief on the war's usefulness that really decides whether the troops died in vain or for something worthwhile. I don't think any common consensus can be reached, because there are even the loons who want the troops dead.

Re: 3000 in iraq
9 out of 10 injured troops live, the highest of any war. Not saying war is good one of my friends has been injured 4 times because of IED's... if you do not know what that is, its an improvised explosive device, they use garage remotes to detonate jackets of C4 with ball bearings strapped to their chest. Would you resort to that if america was occupied by another country implementing a new government? I think there is a problem, yet a war in one country will never fix it.

The second 3000 people die George Bush stops the war and goes home? No matte how many people die the war (which is now in the *rebuilding* stage) wont and cant stop now the job has started it wont stop. When 3000 people die its a shame and we should pay our repects but in the end its just a statistic. |

I'd rather lose 3,000 as opposed to 3,000,000 (the statistic is much more, I'm aware). Quote:

Re: 3000 in iraq
One more 9/11 would exceed the death toll of the Iraq war, in civilian deaths, to boot. We're in Iraq right now to prevent that from happening.
We're so close to completing another of our main objectives there that pulling out would just be stupid. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com
