"Military deaths in Iraq hit 2,500"

What? Al-Reuters didn't have an exclamation point and a smiley face attached to the headline?

So what Al Ja-Reuters is actually saying is that in over three years of war, we have lost ONLY 2500? While every loss hurts, can anyone name for me another war in which we lost fewer in the same time period? I don't think the media understand when they trumpet 2500 dead, most people say, "In three years of war? That's low."

I wonder if maybe the President timed his visit to precede the inevitable announcement.

The recent leftist convention in DC planned to march from their Hilton hotel venue to the White House to "commemorate" the 2500th death. Unfortunately their convention ended when the count was 2497. So they marched anyway!

They live to feed on death.

Meanwhile, civilians saved in Iraq equals 27 million. Strange that Al JaReuters doesn't mention that.

If the military does not watch out, it might catch up to Detroit.

In other news, deaths in one battle on D-Day reached 5000 within a few hours.

Reuters only cares about the American GI:

1. When he dies.

2. When he screws up.

'Military deaths in Iraq hit 2,500' further proving that Iraq is safer than Washington, D.C or Dearborn, MI.

Safest war in military history. We lost 36,000 in the 3 years of the Korean War. This is unheard of. Our military should be congratulated but these heroes make a great club for the left.

Pray for W and Our Troops

We hit 2500 military deaths a long time ago if you include Afghanistan, which is the "good" war. To date, the US has lost 304 military personnel in Afghanistan and 718 wounded.

The MSM and the Dems like to frame the issue and have steadfastly tried to separate the war of choice (Iraq) from the war of necessity (Afghanistan). They fail to recognize that Iraq is part of the WOT and the battle against AQ. We shouldn't let them get away with it. Koppel recited the names of the dead lost in Iraq and ignored Afghanistan. It is all part of the antiwar campaign.
