For those blinded by politics, those that keep harping Iraq didn't attack it was Saudi Arabia, it's time to get a clue! NO SPECIFIC COUNTRY ATTACKED the U.S.. An IDEOLOGY called radical Islam attacked, it can't be any clearer or more truthful than that.

[pepperp1]

What dribble, a couple hundred thousand maybe, hopefully you are already in Iraq in uniform fighting for your principles. Look stupid Iraq did not attack us on 911 if you need to relate the mass murder of 911 the Osama et al are from Saudi and it is about keeping the oil flowing or not. You be the animal.

[bogusbones]

And the list will grow until we stop the insanity.

War has casualties, unfortunately, and I am saddened each and every time I read about another lost American soldier. However, I feel the correct path to take is fight fire with fire and adopt some new military tactics that are more devastating and overwhelming than anything used to date. These animals need to be blown up on sight and if a few "innocents" go down, tough. I personlly don't believe there are any "innocents" hanging around. Anyone in the area should be considered a hostile and eliminated. It's time to toughen up.

For those that are interested, here is the address of the FBI report that lackofperception5 carefully cherry picked his information from:

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/06prelim/ucrtable4index.htm

Like I said - I'm glad that at least he's now using legitimate, verifiable information instead of the typical garbage.

perception5:
(Or better yet lack of perception5)

First of all - are you trying to say that it's President Bush's fault that crime went up? Because according to the FBI report where you picked the carefully selected information from:

Dallas - 187 killed
Houston - 377 killed
Memphis - 147 killed
Jacksonville, FL - 110 killed
Miami - 77 killed
Atlanta - 110 killed
Birmingham - 104 killed
Phoenix - 234 killed

Those are all "deep red" states. So if murder rates are your sole indicator, then crime is going up across the country regardless of the predominant local political affiliation.

I'm proud of you though - at least you tried using actual information instead of home-made web sites spewing pro-war garbage at us. Please feel free to try some more.

Is the logic being proposed by some here that somehow 3500 senseless deaths is better than 16000 senseless deaths?

[cdfoxtrot]

How come we don't get reports any more of Bush's approval ratings? I haven't seen the detailed analysis in many months. I can't see that 3,500 needless deaths of US soldiers is going to be seen as much of a milestone. Maybe when it gets to 5,000 or 10,000. It's going to take a lot more unnecessary loss of life to force this basta*d in the WH to change course in any meaningful way.

[jjp735i]

And Bush, the Dems and Rep. will say the surge is working during the next Washington spin cycle.

[jsilver2th]

We mourn the loss of 3500 of our finest young men and women...

Why did they die?

Those who have reaped the obscene war profits seem to me to have some answering to do.

Posted by xzavierbrown:
here is a milage question for you: "how much of Bushco's gas did you use this week??"

Actually, none.

[space_poet]

Percept, I live a very simple life, I don't own a car, I barely watch TV, and I care about every life on this planet. Because this country has it's own problems is besides the point. When we start to spread our death across the globe, then we are not taking care of ourselves, we are worsening the situation. I have no beef with you, but your comparrison is quite unrelated to the topic at hand. Every country on the planet has crime.

[wdrussell1]

According to the numbers 2377 died in deep blue cities. Where did the other 13000 die?

[drummer94]

Interesting,indeed! Shoring up cities,especially the inner cities, has been proven to reduce the crime rates. Unfortunately, the politicians all make a grab for the dough when it's there. See the "coconut highway story

[notblue]

Lives lost: War of Independence 100,000 plus, Civil war 100,000 plus, World War I 100,000 plus, World war II 500,000 plus, Korean war 100,000 plus, Viet Nam war 50,000 plus, First Gul war less than 10,000, War in Iraq 3,500. Lives lost to violence in U.S. just this last year 16,000 plus, just putting it in perspective.

[muzzlebush]

Here's a mileage question for George and D1ck:

How many lives per gallon?

perception 5 opens an interesting discussion. How much better could we make our cities if we weren't spending billions to make sure that Bushco had control of Iraqui oil?

[perception5]

Why don't you list the Iraq cities and their death rates if you want some real outrage?

..... Space_Poet, why are you insensitve to the 16,185 Americans that were killed in America in 2006. Mostly in our "deep blue cities"??

Is this what you call "Social Justice" Space_Poet??

I guess you think its ok as long as you have your "material" possessions........

[space_poet]

Hey, perception, you twist facts to confuse people. You don't even come close to the actual debate here, and purposely mislead people into thinking that domestic crime has anything to do with a war on a nation half way around the world. Why don't you list the Iraq cities and their death rates if you want some real outrage?

[drummer94]

3501. "Public approval...now matches all-time low" Bush's personal war advisor-Iraqi's to take on more responsibilities "might not work" and not very capable. 4 years,screwball,4years and "not very capable" 4 years 3501 warriors lives and,what,a hundred billion a year. HEY DOC! The maroon needs his meds!
