The liberals at the Guardian never rest, do they?

Why post liberal drivel ?

Critics of the policy say it hides the true extent of the casualties. The new figures reveal that 1,178 American soldiers have been wounded in combat operations since the war began on 20 March.

1,100 wounded? Since operations began in March?

At Cold Harbor Grant lost several thousand dead. In one charge.

Jesus, I forgot. It's only The Observer.

FOX NEWS.com: "FALLEN HEROES OF OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM" (Click Here.)

Walter Reed has been at maximum capacity since Operation Enduring Freedom began in Afghanistan in 2001, Mr. Stueve (spokesman for Walter Reed) said, adding that the hospital's 3,900 staffers have "put in a substantial amount of overtime."


The above is from the Wash Times 8/4/2003. Guess the Guardian forgot about Afghanistan.

The true scale of American casualties in Iraq is revealed today by new figures obtained by The Observer, which show that more than 6,000 American servicemen have been evacuated for medical reasons since the beginning of the war, including more than 1,500 American soldiers who have been wounded, many seriously.

Note that they lie in the very first paragraph. "6000 evacuated for medical reasons," yet only "1500" actually hurt. The other 4500 could be anything from Section 8s to guys that got sunburns or dehydration, were given a day off and then sent right back.

But this is what the Left will now be claiming every hour of every day: "SIX THOUSAND HURT! SIX THOUSAND HURT!"

And, of course, you can rest assured that whenever they give specific numbers for the meaningless generalized statements, but then only refer to the "seriously injured" as "many," the truth is that the actual number is so low that it would give the lie to the entire article if the Guardian had the guts to print it.

Here's a thread relevant to our recent discussion...

<< .... the weapons of choice of the "Iraqi resistance fighters .... "

God forbid any one of the psychopathologically-hesperophobic and un-and-anti-American EURO-peon Neo-Soviet's squalidly-socialist-satellite-state's scribes should ever call a bloody terrorist a "bloody terrorist."

"A local volunteer group, called America's Heroes of Freedom, has set up on the base to provide them with fresh clothes, food packages and toiletries. 'This is our way of saying, "We have not forgotten you,"' said group founder Susan Brewer."

If I weren't in my 50s, I'd somehow be over there. I'm in the DC area. I guess the best I can do is volunteer with this group. Anyone have any email addys for Susan Brewer or the group??

Well, pardner, I haven't seen you around these parts before. PatrioticCowboy, member "Since Aug 17, 2003".

Hmmmm, "The sad thing is that the Taliban have been coming back strong in Afghanistan. Bush should have focused on them before Iraq". Now, whose ugly mugs did I hear that from before, during, and after the Iraq war???

Oh, a totally unrelated thought just popped into my head. I wonder if the DU trolls will change their strategy from those goofy "Die Republican scum" and sick porno posts and try to ease their way into FR. You know, post things from anti-American leftist newspapers and then remark about how concerned they are about it (while casually throwing out criticism of leftists to gain credibility).
