Thirteen Fatalities In October Matches Previous Record Low Set In July

If McCain wins he will bring back the draft and go after Iran for Israel, the U.S. will be in endless wars for 100 more years like McCain promised. McCain does not have an economic Policy because McCain''s economic Policy is to give Americans jobs fighting in his wars and continuing the wars Bush started. McWar!

Well isn''t that special? I bet there would be even fewer deaths if we hadn''t invaded Iraq at all!!

[spinproof]

This is good news, but an argument can also be made that there should never have been any war deaths of Americans in Iraq at all.

SO WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY THAT "ONLY" 13 SOLDIERS DIED IN OCTOBER IN A WAR THAT WAS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. NOW THERE ARE 13 FAMILIES THAT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER DIED NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO AND I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THAT THE PAIN NEVER GOES AWAY.

Meanwhile, AlQaeda are running wild in Afghanistan. Nice job, Bush.

This is all good but why then ARE THERE STILL 150,000 TROOPS STILL THERE!!!???? Show me real US troop declines and Ill believe in the progress!!

Doesn''t matter, still wasn''t worth all the American lives lost and the sacrifice of our economy.

Deaths could go down to zero and it still won''t stop the surge of deaths once we left. This is the fundamental reason why the ''surge'' has failed; the ''surge'' was only a ''stop gap'' measure that has no way of ''success''.

This is why John McCain with all of his war experience lacks the serious judgement to be President.

He ought know better that there is no ''military solution'' in an unwanted unwarranted occupation. Nobody is looking for an ''excuse'' to stay there for a 100 years only junkyard dogs like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh who are just trying to ''save face''.

It''s heart-breaking to see the death and destruction wrought by George W. Bush for no reason. His actions have caused the death of 3 times more Iraqis then Ronald Reagans puppet Saddam Hussein could of ever did.

This is not good news because Republican ''face savers'' will use this as an excuse to occupy Iraq for the next 100 years.

Bush''s economic policy has run even the terrorist out of ammunition money.

Forget statistics. Those are lives lost. Even one is too many.
