The drive-by media is wetting their pants with glee.

The BIG question is:

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THESE 4,000 DEAD MEN AND WOMEN ARE DEAD BECAUSE SOME JIHADI GOT INSPIRED BY ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA EMANATING FROM ANTI-AMERICANS IN THE U.S.A.?

After going through a Military funeral this week for a fallen soldier, all I can say is God bless these men and women. We have to finish this job or it will all be in vain.

Wow. That’s amazing. Only 4000 deaths during a 5 year war (a fraction over 2 deaths per day). Never has so much been accomplished at the cost of so few lives. Congratulations US military. Job extremely well done.

My local fish wrapper is the Sarasota Herald Tribune, owned by the NY Slimes. This story will no doubt be the headline in the Monday edition with all sorts of supporting stories on the front page and the following 3 pages.

It’s rare that an article favorable to a Pubbie makes it into this pc of crap before page 5.

Tolerable sports section though.

Almost no options in a town this size.

Yes and protect them. No one wants our military to die.

It's good that the media is right there, letting us know what's happening. Do you think they could do the same with abortions? You know...have someone posted there just waiting and breathlessly reporting a new number each time a child is killed?

Right you are.
I hate this comparison, but, by the end of 5 years in Viet Nam we had over 30k deaths.

Senator Carl Levin and other skeptics of the US war in Iraq predicted that a minimum of 10,000 soldiers would die in Bagdad alone in the first six months of the conflict.

The fact that 4,000 heroes lost their lives thus far— five years later— is a testament to the incredible success of the war in Iraq.

Whats even worse is that we ask these soldiers to make the ultimate sacrifice abroad and then do nothing to the SOB's here at home in the media and in the democrat party undermining the war effort and encouraging the enemy to fight on.

Pretty insane of the administration to let the enemy within operate unfettered.

Raw deal for the troops.

Thank you for pointing that out, it is a fact always overlooked by the doomsaying bean counters.

Also among the wounded, 55% (16,120/29,133) were returned to duty within 72 hours per : Air Force Magazine, March 2008

Imagine being a brave volunteer soldier and your death is used as a number by these filthy left wing scumbags rather receiving the homaqge due for what you and your brave fellows accomplished by your sacrifice. I hate the liberals as much as they hate America, freedom, and our soldiers.
