1502 Soldiers Now Dead in Iraq

Of course, that number is reduced by the many the Pentagon misreports as non enemy fire. Last I knew, they were not counting anyone who died from complications of combat injuries, anyone deemed killed by friendly fire (oh, what a term), or anyone else they could successfully keep off the list.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is being quiet on whether it will move thousands of soldiers taken from AfghanisfuckingBushistan for Iraqi elections back to the first country we struck because "the hunt for Osama is cold."

As often as we talk about how WMDs were given as the reason for going into Iraq, lost in the discussion is that we supposedly went into Afghanistan to get Osama. Three plus years later, the tall one still walks. Sorta like fat boy, Bush pal Kenny Lay.
