4000 US Soldiers Killed In Iraq

The death toll for U.S. solders in Iraq has reached 4000:

The overall U.S. death toll in Iraq rose to 4,000 after four soldiers were killed in a roadside bombing in Baghdad, a grim milestone that is likely to fuel calls for the withdrawal of American forces as the war enters its sixth year.

The American deaths occurred Sunday, the same day rockets and mortars pounded the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad and a wave of attacks left at least 61 Iraqis dead nationwide.

Watch CNN's veteran Iraq correspondent Michael Ware discuss the grim milestone, moments after the news crossed the wires:

Check out Winter Soldier on democracynow.org It hadn't received any mainstream media coverage, which shows how sad a state were in. These stories will bring tears to your eyes and hopefully make people more involved and active I know it did me.

don't be fooled. It's a vicious assault on Hillary or Obama depending on whether the emphasis is on the fourth or seventeenth "8".

For republicans it dos not matter how many troops or Iraqis get kill or how many times Bush and Cheney lied , they just don't get it and they don't care. we are wasting our time trying to argue with them to prove a point. they are so brainwashed by Evil Fox News its beyond comprehension of reality

Republicans failed to admit that they are a bunch of losers, that is the reality here....

Instead of we arguing with dumb republicans, let focus on getting Obama elected.

It seems that Hume believes that Black Liberation Theology adherent, Barack H. Obama is the natural choice for President based on his intention to end the Iraq War.

Is there any other good reasn to elect a man who will enact as many socialistic reforms as humanly possible in his first term?

Not only is shortbus a racist but he's a fool.

We already have socialism in America and

it's rampant for the rich and big businesses.

It would be interesting to have you defend the thought process that leads you to believe my post is in anyway racist.

Pointing out the facts is just that. It is not racism to point out the facts. The Reverend Wright, himself, claims to be preaching Black Liberation Theology.

Would it actually be 'socialism' if it isn't getting to the majority of society?
