The Grim Reaper seems to be working the AP.

Now they have to come up with new ways to count the dead to highlight the numbers.

That is exactly what I was thinking. The headline is deceptive also. Figures.

Whoever wrote that headline should be reprimanded, preferably with a mallet.

God grant them ALL a place in Heaven.

Perspective is needed. On D-Day the 6th of June 1944 we LOST approximately 2500!!

It has been 20 months and we have had 976 Killed in Action up to and including 28 Nov 2004 and NOT ONE of them was drafted.

Unfortunately people die in a war. I don't think that these reporters care what this kind of headlines do to the families of active duty military. I am so grateful to each one that has given their loved ones for our safety. I also pray that the blue star in our window stays blue.

This is breaking news in AP. Imagine dancing in the office after each death.

Realize they are defending terrorists while rejecting 9/11. How many innocent Americans were murdered as a result of the September attack on the United States?

The deadliest month was last April when 135 U.S. troops died as the insurgency flared in Sunni-dominated Fallujah, where dozens of U.S. troops died this month.

Of course the media omits mentioning that their constant overhyping (and promotion of FAKE abuse photos) was akin to pouring gasoline on a fire.

The terrorists began murdering kidnapped hostages. The public began to lose support for the war. All in the interest of media Zogbyism trying to oust President Bush from office.

This month was an increase in military manuvers. It was long overdue but in the absence of a "plan" from John Kerry to support the troops, these men could have died in vain (by possibly being pulled out by President Kerry). The media certainly would have politicized every death and given aid and comfort to the terrorists in Fallujah.

The media tried to demonize a marine who killed a terrorist in a mosque. They did not show the footage of the other LIVING men in that room who were not shot.

The media is rooting for Islamofascists. Have no doubt. They are antiAmerican. The deaths only matter to them as a way of saying "Bush lied, people died". Except when you analyze the deaths, that is NOT the case.

Why is the media so quick to show dead soldiers (or dead/injured Iraqi civilians) yet refuses to this day to show any of the 3,000 dead from the 9-11-2001 attacks?

Saw a story on Fox this morning, that the troops patrolling Ramadi (sp) on foot met little or no resistance, unlike conditions before our invasion of Fallujah. If we had finished the job there in April we wouldn't have had to repeat it in November. The word has gotten out that we aren't afraid to take casualties to do the operation correctly. Applying force had the desired effect. God bless all who went into harm's way there.

I am sure the DIS-Associated Press is drooling at the prospect of blaring the death tolls of American soldiers worldwide.

AgitProp was itching to run this headline 30 days ago.
