1 is too many, but these men die for a purpose, and if you think its oil, then you're brainwashed by the liberal left.

The more relevent question is how many died in the first hour of the invasion of Panama.  And if you dont think that was about the Canal then your brainwashed by the conservative right.

500th soldier died today. Maybe time has passed to stop looking for excuses to justify the invasion.

Try 400 and again one is too many.

Any idea on how many enemy insurgents there are in Iraq?  Or their motivation level?

During Vietnam, Col. Hackworth interviewed many VC and NVA prisoners of war.  Most said they would be willing to fight for another 15 to 30 years.  

If the insurgents in Iraq have anywhere near the motivation level of that, then I do believe the nation of Iraq is in for a turbulent quarter century.

 What do you want the admin to do? Admit they lied then pull out?

 for those that did not support the war,  do you really think pulling out now( the only way we are going to stop the deaths) is the right thing to do?

Yeah we betrayed the people of south Vietnam and let the Commies come kill them.

How nice of us.

If we should not have been there in the first place thats one thing, pulling out and ****ing the people we where supposed to be helping is wrong.
