How many more must die?

Today, US Military deaths reach 2,000 in Iraq.

I think it doesn't matter what side of the issue you are on, to feel compassion for the loss to our nation, and ther personal loss to families.

The question is will we see the headline:

Today, US Military deaths reach 5,000 in Iraq?

Today, US Military deaths reach 10,000 in Iraq?

Today, US Military deaths reach 20,000 in Iraq?

Can anyone really give an answer.

One thing is for certain, we would not be in Iraq but for President Bush's assertion that Iraq had nuclear weapons.  The only way we geared up to rush into war was because of impending doom.

Hence, the connection to uranium cakes in Niger, Dick Cheney and Victoria Plame.

The Cheney-Libby conversation occurred the same day that The Washington Post published a front-page story about the CIA sending a retired diplomat to Africa, where he was unable to corroborate intelligence that Iraq was trying to acquire uranium yellowcake from Niger. The diplomat was Wilson.

A year after Wilson's trip, President Bush cited British intelligence in his State of the Union address as suggesting that Iraq was pursuing uranium in Africa.

Today, US Military deaths reach 2,000 in Iraq.
