The Associated Press is reporting that United States military casualites in Iraq is nearing the record for most casualites in a month. The most deaths in one month occurred March of 2003. Such sad news. Please support our troops, even if you are against the war. Let us hope and pray that President Bush will expedite our actions in Iraq so that we can be the most helpful and end up protecting as many American soldiers from death as possible.
I just wish I had faith that Bush would be able to do all of things I just asked.
From the report:
“At least 133 U.S. troops have died in Iraq so far this month — only the second time it has topped 100 in any month. The deadliest month was last April when 135 U.S. troops died as the insurgency flared in Sunni-dominated Fallujah, where dozens of U.S. troops died this month.
The Pentagon’s official death toll for Iraq stood at 1,251 on Monday, but that did not include two soldiers killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad and another killed in a vehicle accident. When the month began, the death toll stood at 1,121, the Pentagon said.
It was not clear whether the bombing deaths of two Marines south of Baghdad on Sunday were included in the overall count the Pentagon published Monday.”
I hope President Bush has realized what he has done to American perception abroad, as well as the heartbreak and anguish he has caused Americans across this country.
On The Tonight Show earlier, a clean-shaven and suit-clad Michael Moore carried on what seemed to be a tense discussion with Jay Leno about the election and the war in Iraq. Moore read from his most recent book–a collection of letters he has received from soldiers either in Iraq or on their way over. The letter he read was very powerful, and you could see how moved both Leno and Moore were. Unfortunately, the audience did not seem as respectful or moved as one would think. Evidentally, Michael Moore has a big tendency to pull controversy and ‘boos’ out of audiences wherever he goes.
So, either there are a lot of conservatives in Burbank or Moore just has a bunch of conservative roadies who hate him. Take your pick. They both seem reasonable to me.
