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:

I wonder if Pres. Bush will ever understand the grief & horror of families (and close friends) of those killed in Iraq? How can our president sleep soundly at night ~ or take holidays with his wife, Laura, and their daughters ~ knowing that he is responsible for causing so much unnecessary suffering & deaths to Americans abroad? For all the oil & riches in the world, I would still never wish to be in Bush's shoes.

He has said he thinks it must be romantic to be there fighting this war based on lies. Dumbya is a delusional jackass and could care less about how many people have died because of his arrogance. The DOD doesn't keep records of how many Iraqis have been killed, it is hard work being Dumbya.

How? Sociopathic brain disorder!

[hydenorhare]

Okay okay.

Clearly you are a clueless bunch when it comes to the nature of our enemies and the war.

Just be aware of your limitations and don't be so anxious to get in the way. Is that so much to ask?

[LaFeminazi]

Why dont you get in their way, in Mosul for example?

[CuriousPerson]

Is that a threat?

Those are fighting words rabbit boy.

[BWonka]

The EXACT same words could be directed towards you and your ignorant insistence on supporting the Bu$hCo Crime Family.

[momofsonofwar]

Or you can have a grand time with my son in kirkuk
What an idiot you are

[CarlsV]

Well then answer the question genius!

What's the big war plan? Are you going to kill them all? The children too?

Clue us in sparky ...

[CarlsV]

Why don't you ever answer the big question hare?

No guts huh?

Why are the censors afraid?

[CuriousPerson]

Are you sure your posts are being censored?

Tell ya what..post them again, I'll look at them to help you try to figure out why they aren't being posted.

:-D.

[1NacreousImprimatur]

And scrubbed, when it does get through. I appealed to Soltz to allow it through and was scrubbed shortly after.

[naturallight]

KIlling is my business and business is good!

I was floored.

"And, from what I can tell, he failed miserably. He got shot down a couple of times, then got captured. That's hardly what we expect from good military officers."(HumeSkeptic)

Why are the killed and wounded soldiers in Iraq likewise not "not good soldiers" by the logical extension of your reasoning?

[hydenorhare]

Now that everyone here has typed the melodramatic speech they've been preparing since the last arbitrary "milestone", how about working up the same level of anger against our real enemies? And how about supporting the effort to win the war? Channel that energy to a better end.

[CarlsV]

"how about supporting the effort to win the war?"

What's the big plan sparky?

You gonna kill them all? The children too?

Cuz if you don't all you've done is breed the next even more revengeful batch ...

That's the problem with you fools! You support a war but don't have one concrete answer!

[LaFeminazi]

how about working up the same level of anger against our real enemies

I was leaving McCain for dessert.

[BWonka]

"...our real enemies"

That would be the Bu$hCo Crime Family and their equally insane supporters.

[CarlsV]

What war?

To what end?

Gonna waste them all? The children too?

Cuz if you don't all you've done is make the beehive more dangerous!

[cdnnewsjunky]

Real enemies? What does Iraq have to do with real enemies? Are you making reference to the AQ fighters invited into Iraq by your idiot of a president in his bring em on speech? They were not there until he invited them in, so what does the average Iraqi have to do with real enemies?

War? I know you actually meant to say 'illegal invasion', but it seems truthfull words often get stuck in the throats of Republicans!

[speakingtruth2power]

It is nice that we can 'speak' freely,

I wonder if they are giving up yet?

Signed up for two new blog-sites

yesterday due to the censorship.

[CarlsV]

Kos, Crooks and Liars and The Politico are okay too.

[speakingtruth2power]

Heh! Car54, how are you?

Did you fry up that rabbit?

[1NacreousImprimatur]

Likewise,in the pat week.

Stopped by today but the censorship definitely continues without rhyme or reason.

[1NacreousImprimatur]

Once more I will attempt to post my challenge, fear not Huffy.

(Hume) is a big boy.

[Nyla785]

Someone should start asking these pro-war people 'how many would be too many lives to give to this mess it Iraq?" "How much money would be TOO much?' Because right now, it's open-ended. We don't know how much Iraq will cost us. And the military families are paying the heaviest prices.

[shedances]

So true, Nyla785.

Out Of The Mouths of Neo-Cons:

"Freedom's" just another word for "nothing left to lose"...

[Superbus]

Spoken like a true Frenchman, whom we had to rescue from Germany twice in the 20th Century.

[BWonka]

"We"?

When did cowards like you ever do anything FOR someone else? Doing TO others seems to be your only small achievement.

[cdnnewsjunky]

Apparently you will believe any kind of crap. How are them freedom fries working out?

[lornejl]

Who will rescue you after all of your bridges are burnt to the ground ?

What would 5 DEFERMENT DICK say?

What would CHIMPY MCFLIGHTSUIT, FORMERLY (AWOL) FROM THE TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD say?

What would the remainder of the ReThugLieCon Establishment, who almost universally evaded military service, say?

Why, the usual vomit-inducing, hyper-hypocritical, warmongering criminal litergy, of course.

[barriosbabe]

Part of the reason we don't hear more, is A the lack of casket photos and B the half a million each family gets. No, it does not "shut them up" but doesn't exactly make them all the screechers they should be a la 9/11 families. I am disgusted with Bush's blood money.
