2,000 lives...

[Ali]

...and billions and billions of dollars spent.

23,000 civilian deaths and nearly double that figure injured.

We know it wasn't about WMD's. We've been told that it was to get rid of Saddam.

But Saddam was captured ages ago... yet still the insurgency continues.

Why is that?

[DJ_Skrilla]

Honestly 2000 lives doesnt mean shit to americans who personally havent been affected (brother died, uncle, etc) except a number. With the Bush Administration approval rating hovering below 40%, well its hard to govern less than half a country especially with your top advisors and perhaps VP being indicted.

Still we go along like its no big deal or dont care?!!? Exactly because americans are too lazy to give a fuck.

Bring back the boston tea party, bring back the resistance, bring back PEOPLE WHO CARE what happens to their world.

there will be the chopped-off heads of leviathans.

Who cares? They were all criminals and murderers.

P.S. - :rolleyes:

I'm just doing my best Ace impression. It's more along the lines of what he'd say.

[Ace42X]

Damn straight. 2,000? Just fifty times more of those to go until the US has caught up with the number of Iraqis murdered as of a year ago.

[Schmeltz]

You know, 2000 dead out of 150 000 (give or take), over three and a half years, is a pretty low casualty rate. The US military is doing a pretty good job keeping the troops alive.

[synch]

Too bad they aren't doing the same for the locals.

[Documad]

I think we can keep this train rolling for some time. Should we bet on when it hits 2,500?

[ToucanSpam]

I'd say March 2006 the casualties will hit 2500.

[EN[i]GMA]

Damn straight. 2,000? Just fifty times more of those to go until the US has caught up with the number of Iraqis murdered as of a year ago.

Or to be slightly more accurate, somewhere between 4 and 97 times.

Will this brings up an obvious question, does democracy lead to the end of terrorism (http://ksgnotes1.harvard.edu/research/wpaper.nsf/rwp/RWP04-043/$File/rwp_04_043_Abadie.pdf#search='Alberto%20Abadie%20P overty,%20Political)?

I love how our president uses democracy to marginalize people rather than to represent them. Isn't that the same problem that we have here? It gives you some insight into how the people in power really think of us.

I also may need to be slapped I'm finding myself actually agreeing with Pat Buchanan (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47048)!?! :confused:

It is a sad state of affairs when you find yourself agreeing with right-wing nutjobs like Buchanan.

But keep in mind he's so extreme to the right that it reaches a point where he starts to meet up with the extreme left.

except for the whole "war" thing

Though I still think he's a wackjob.
