3628

3628 American deaths in Iraq. Each soldier and marine had a mother. Many were husbands and fathers. Many more were young men who will never have the opportunity to be husbands or fathers. Never to return home again. To what end?

3489 American deaths in Iraq since Bush declare "Mission Accomplished" on May 1, 2003. You can see the list here of the men who have died - their names, ages, hometowns. You will not see the dreams that have been snuffed out, or the loved ones left behind. How many more must die before this senseless war comes to an end.

The Bush administration and it's AM radio mouthpieces say that we are fighting the terrorists in Iraq so that we don't have to fight them here at home. When our enemies spout such lies we call it what it is, propaganda.

Our gutless Congress needs to listen to the American people and stand up to Bush, cut off the funding for his war, and support our troops by bringing them home alive.
