I'll tell you why. They try to make this sound like we are being beaten and need to rethink the policy. At the rate of 44 a day, 5,874 Americans have been murdered since May 1, 2003. Like it or not, our losses in Iraq are low.
It's liberal drivel because in my city (population approximately 300,000) we have had around 250 deaths and countless accidents since May 1. This is not to minimize ANY soldier's death, but it's not at all unusual to have that number of deaths in Iraq or any other place for that matter.
Liberals want George Bush to fail so badly that I actually believe they rejoice at every bad thing that happens in Iraq. They want the economy to stay in a rut and they want the wars to fail, just to gain political power. POWER is more important to them than health, security and lives. It's a sad time in America.
