The deaths brought to 302 the number of U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq.

Six months ago if anyone would have said that we could conquer a country with 302 Casualties (about half combat related), they would have been branded a lunatic. Now President Bush is branded as a liar by Kennedy, of all people because, 302 troops have died.

Time for a reality check.

And probably a third of that number did not die from combat-related wounds.
