A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

There was plenty of fanfare when the number of dead soldiers in Iraq reached 4,000. The MSM actually paid (some) attention to the war in Iraq.

But two other round numbers were reached over the weekend: The number of U.S. wounded from Iraq stands at 30,004, as of May 7. And the number of U.S. dead from Afghanistan is now at 500.

Whether they are round numbers, or not-so-round, there are still human beings suffering in a situation in Iraq that wasn't justified. And that ignores the continuing discrepancies between the official Iraqi dead (91,094) and unofficial Iraqi dead (1,206,950), a current difference of 1,115,856. The official numbers are 7.6% of the unofficial numbers.

At least the fanfare from the MSM over 4,000 was a breeze of attention in the sweltering heat that is the war. But with two more round numbers being virtually ignored, it may take a new Democratic president to start the healing. Our troops shouldn't have to wait that long.

No mercy or consideration for those who are murderers.

Mourning the victims is something which is suitable for Iraqis and Afghanis who got murdered by a bunch of cowards - US forces - who couldn't make a living in the US and had to go abroad and ambush and call this an act of God! The more die the better!
