#1 ....and here goes The Left, they've been drooling over this prospect for weeks. MuRat should be by anytime soon too waving his loincloth.

#2 But they didn't have box seats in the coliseum to watch the gore! The ticketmaster must be a right-wing conspirator!

#3 Sorry people, but this thousand number doesn't mean a damn thing where counting casualties is concerned. This current count pales in comparison to our losses in Vietnam and WW2.

#4 Includes traffic accidents, people falling from buildings, a few heart attacks, etc.

Dead is dead, but keeping it to battle casualties in Iraq, its not to 1000 yet.

WHy not include training accidents stateside, high seas accidental deaths in the Navy, and off-base car accident victims in Germany? Has the same rationale: in uniform and died.

#5 I think it is long a tradition that in wartime, all deaths in uniform are considered war casualties.

It may be helpful to point out to the leftists that while the press is decrying the thousandth casualty at least they are finally recognizing that we are indeed in a war.

#6 I was reading the little news ticker thing on Fox it said that total included some "civilain contractors." WTF? civilians?

#7 The radical left is as quilty in the deaths of these U.S. servicemen as the jihadists which pulled the triggers.
