This article seems very fair and balanced concerning the numbers in Iraq... It also reminds us that someone's son or daughter is behind those numbers. Politician's typically like to fight wars with other people's money and other people's children... Let us remember to keep the pressure on the politicians to remember that we want them home as soon as the job is done...

Let us remember to keep the pressure on the politicians to remember that we want them home as soon as the job is done.

Good point. One of the most heartening things about this campaign is the comradery, the genuine love for the troops by those running this war...from SOD Rumsfeld, Franks, to Gen. Myers, Pace, Mosely, Abizaid, Sanchez - this is a group of commanders with an abiding respect for their troops (and a genuine understanding of the enemy - including, unfortunately, the mainstream press).

Now, the Senate is another story. Anyone with Hagel, Biden, Dodd, Chafee, Byrd, as their Senator, please keep up on the Sen. Foreign Relations Committee briefings and CALL the Senators to account for their contempt (Hillary - Armed Services, Graham, Intel, too...and Sen. Edwards).
