15. Not shit, transparency shining through
He must not be able to look up the news on his own. And he still hasn't ever made a REAL statement about his own beliefs. Just come out and say WHAT YOU THINK COMPOSED. PLEASE! What are your thoughts on IRaq, the economy, and Bush in general. Please stop asking questions and start stating YOUR own beliefs. PLEASE.

3. We'll only know for sure once they are notified.
The last DoD notification was to the family of Justin Herbert, age 20. He was killed on August 1.

Here's the list. It updates daily as families are notified.

5. NBC News
We have not had a COMBAT death in the last three days. Don't know about others. NBC seemed to go out of their way to say combat death, but did not follow up with accidental, suicide, etc. Are we to read between the lines?

7. That's a good thing
Maybe the Bush administration was right: maybe the killings of Uday and Qusay are stopping attacks on our troops.

Apparently, true casualty figures are classified. Didn't know that.

14. Was thinking the same thing
It has been real quiet. Either the attacks are lessening, or the media has been quieted, I hope it is the first, but, we know that truths are hidden from us.
