I post these numbers to remind folks here that Americans are dying daily in a war that should never have happened. I hold Mr. Bush accountible for the deaths of these honorable Americans. They're died because he said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that it did not have. Their blood is on his hands. Had he not inflated the case for war and pressed to move forward without U.N. support, these soldiers would be alive today.

We are now stuck. And more Americans will die because of this reckless affair. The war in Iraq has nothing to do with the safety and security of the American people and one can make a reasonable arguements that its consequences have simply made this world less safe for American citizens. In the meantime, we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a population that could see fit to rebel and overturn Saddam on their own. That being said, we are stuck and the only choice we have is to procede with the war that our president had declared over and won over a year a ago.

The disgrace is that these people died in the deserts of Iraq at all at the hands of a completely failed intelligence.
