Because the dems are chomping at the bit to raise holy he!! as soon as the war casualties surpass the death toll of 9/11/01.

Weren't the original estimates BEFORE entering Iraq around 10,000 US casualties on the way to Baghdad? And then we would have to fight in the dreaded urban environment. Grozny II....

I remember reading a column by Arianna Huffington (aka, Zsa Zsa Gabor) predicting up to 50,000 U.S. casualties in the initial invasion.
