Does anybody know how many deaths there are in Afghanistan?

Drudge headline says US deaths tops 1000.
May they RIP.
Yeah I heard him say that too.
Oh, yes, that's what he said. Kerry is all over the place. I can't understand how anyone could support him.
I thought Kerry's standard line was that the war on terror was separate from the war on iraq. Maybe I am confused or maybe this is a new nuance.
Don't worry. He will change his statement later. Because that is something he never does (sarcasm)
Here is Kerry's exact quote from an AP story on MSNBC's web site:
“Today marks a tragic milestone in the war in Iraq; more than 1,000 of America’s sons and daughters have now given their lives on behalf of their country, on behalf of freedom, the war on terror."
I thought we've been told for quite some time that Iraq has nothing to do with the War on Terror?
Kerry's extraordinary statement seems to make all of his arguments irrelevant. Begala and Lockhart sure haven't earned their keep yet.
Surrounded by how many 4, 12, 15?
He forgot the WOT has nothing to do with "The Iraq Situation"
Kerry has got to go. just started reading Unfit For Command. Not to be read by the soft hearted. How the heck is he still polling 45%? the guy is a crimminal. why dont we let charles manson run? at least we know where that idiot stands?
What a sick compaign.
When I looked into the details of the list back on Memorial Day, over one third did not die in combat and quite a large number of those people were not even in Iraq at the time of their deaths. Some deaths included forklift accidents in Kuwait, electocution, drowning, traffic accidents, heart attacks, pneumonia, and in the most extreme example I saw a woman died while crossing the highway in Kansas (she was on leave).
I do not say this to belittle their contribution to their country or the war effort. I say this because only the left is counting deaths, the government releases the data regardless of cause. Some bean counter on the anti-Iraq War team decides who belongs and who doesn't. They've padded out the list of deaths that they want to blame on George Bush.
If we are going to look at deaths from combat, let's really look at them. 2 officers were murdered by American Sgt. Akbar who was muslim; his trial is still being postponed (now until February 2005 as his team plans an insanity defense). He killed 2 with a grenade attack in their tent and wounded another 12 men. How about the men who died when some Iraqi soldiers faked a surrender only to gun them down?
The left said that we would lose tens of thousands. They also said that Iraq would lose over a million citizens (civilian/military). They are only in the tens of thousands (maybe still under 20k).
On the way home tonite at 5:30PM EST, I heard John Belmont, AP News, on the local talk/news station, www.wsba910.com, say, "America has reached the 1,000 milestone who have been sacrificed in Iraq".
I almost drove into a phone pole! I almost pulled my Kimber "Eclipse Target II" 1911A1 .45cal ACP and shot the radio.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Left-wing, wacko, lowlife, hate-America, subhuman, hate-Bush, garbage, trash, filth dominating the radio and most media.
The Fourth Estate® is The Enemy Within™.
Yes he did and the DU is freakin' out. Check out this website and see how they're losing it over this.
