Continuing Deaths in Iraq

While so much coverage is being handed over to Swift Boat Veterans from a war that ended more than 30 years ago, to President Bush comparing his service to John Kerry's in Vietnam, and such, there has been almost NO coverage - save for the terrible incident where a grief-stricken father set a van ablaze and tried to climb inside - of the continued soldier deaths in Iraq (let alone Afghanistan, let alone innocent Iraqi or Afghan civilians, let alone contractors, et al).

As of Friday, the military reports there have been 59 military deaths in Iraq from combat operations, mostly through cities like Najaf.

Meanwhile, the Bushies will continue to denegrate soldiers and vets while pretending they're national security and uniform friendly. Uh huh.
