I think Rep. Jones, and other politicians that continue to bring up the total of the dead...over 1700...
NEED to use some perspective in their thinking..of course, we all hate that anyone has had to die over there...
BUT, considering TWICE that many people die in auto accidents EVERY MONTH here in the US...it is a relatively small number of fatalities...
Also, I think one of the "practices or drills" for the landing at D-Day caused the deaths of more than 1700, in one day...in a PRACTICE...
or that that many died on 9-11 in a few seconds
What bothers me is these people need to be held accountable:
Ok if you want a pull our (read DEFEAT), what will that mean in to WOT, our abilility to deal with N. Korean , Iran, China. The ythink a withdrawl (read DEFEAT) in Iraq wont have implications, very negative and horrific ones
their thinking is so unidememsional...like Jimmy Carters
