1. Thank G-D May was a better month than April

I have been happy that May had less deaths than April. However, I feel that June and July could be nasty months with the "handover" being a good time for the insurgents to stage a number of attacks.

It is so sad that we have lost some many of our finest in this unnecessary war.

4. REAL death toll is probably approaching 2000

If you consider all fatalities that would not have happened in peacetime for that many soldiers over that period of time.

You can look up the stats at the DOD. I did last fall and the numbers of "accidents", and "died in the hospital from infection" are huge, and not considired in the "official" death toll.

On edit:
The conclusion, of course, is that Bush does not discriminate about who's important, Iraqi's, U.S. soliders. All are just a means to an end, and if he has to lie about that, then that lie is also just a means to an end.
