US Military Killed In Iraq

Not to be confused with 'typical' Democrats who like to eggsaturate(sic) everything they get their hands on.

remains non-partisan ;P

wuss

haha f u you damn baby eater.

haha see non-partisan means I can call both sides names

Wheres me a friking liberal pussy at?

Not-quite-waist-high....
No one has ever seriously called me overly senstive about anything. Yep.. off-topic and factual. I agree. So what?
My question remains... what purpose does it serve to post such information ON A GAME WEBSITE? I cannot think of a single positive reason. Maybe I am intellectually challenged. But I can't.

I want to know. There's your reason.

Yea, those filthy dems.

I wish I could eggsaturate about all those explosive we let go missing while guarding the oil fields that were supposed to cover the cost of your $200 Billion war.

Seriously, I don't think i could have fucked things up this badly if I tried.

Eggsaturate indeed. At least I don't call soldiers "killed in action" "non-combat" deaths.

Tabulations are being published about people who are dying. Frankly, I'm not at all sure why they are dying. Did Iraq attack us on U.S. soil? no. Did the terrorists who attacked us come from Iraq? no. Did Iraq have weapons of mass destruction? no.

So why is this tally getting larger every week?

Also - this is an off topic forum. We can choose what to read and what to respond to. Some of us are interested in what other people in the SL Community think.

Even if they are 'typical' Republicans... ** Winks at Lecktor

Tito - I agree with you regarding people who are murdered right here in the good old USA. I don't think what you said trivializes these deaths at all. In fact, I believe that so much of our energy, resources and man power are being spent on a war that I'm not convinced we should be in that it contributes greatly to what you pointed out. People are dying here too - what are we doing about it?

Focusing inward and stregthning our infrastructure, creating jobs and better educating our own citizens would lend to lower murder rates within the US. I'm convinced that when a person has something to live for - they are much less likely to take someone elses life.

My personal opinion is that we should get the hell out of Iraq in a military capacity and re-focus our efforts stregthening our own country and people. Let's build roads, communities, schools, hospitals, secure our borders, secure our fuel, water & food sources and develop alternative fuel sources.

We will lose our position within the "global economy" if we don't. If we keep going at this rate, it will not be long before we find ourselves caught before the world, with our perverbal pants down.

My two lindens anyway - complements of a loony anarchist.

Ok firstly let's examine what NBC says about this as they were 'embedded' with the troops who infiltrated that area http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933/ when you are done objectively reading that come back for my analysis.

The IAEA certifed and sealed this cache in Jan of 2003 shortly before leaving Iraq in the face of the looming 'invasion' . We left the border of Kuwait on the 19th of March. I was not in the forward force but will tell you we didn't reach that area for some 3 weeks or more later. I know this as fact because I was finally able to call home to my mother 2 days before her birthday on the 24th of APRIL. I'm not sure when the main force got up there but we were never more than a week or so in trail. I made this call on a Satellite phone about 7 miles from Baghdad.

As I read the article the blame/pointing fingers are all in different directions and at best premature. Again I will state the current administration is far from perfect and have indeed disappointed me so many times. However, I do not feel the alternative is any more attractive nor "prudent" at this time. Hmm and when did I ever call KIA's non-combat deaths ??
Love you all!! Mean it!!

I read your response. However, it was known that this material was there and contained.

Now a war, to find ficticious WMDs has resulted in real weapons being taken and used against us. We knew they were there. We guarded the oil field to pay for the war. The same oil fields that aren't paying for the war.

The White House timelines don't add up. Maybe we were sending vast coalition members from Palau to check on that. Or maybe it was the vast coalition members from Moldova.

What's this up to now, 1260 something?

According to the website that provides the data I use to build my database for the Iraqi War Memorial, as of this today there are a total of 1414 Coalition military casualties from 15 countires, of which 1268 are American.

I'm afraid I have the sad task of updating the memorial, because I'm behind a bit.

Thanks Ace -

Yesterday it was 1629, and 1457 are American..

Hold the phone!

You mean some of the US military have been killed in IRAQ! This is BRAND NEW INFORMATION!

No, the Left isn't even bothering to wait that long before calling them babykillers not to mention Nazis and a host of other things.

Actually, I support the troops by wishing them to come home from Bush's personal and illegal crusade, I reserve my spits (and my accusations of fascism and baykilling) for the current President and his gang of war-criminals. I have, as I have mentioned often, nothing but respect for the troops.

Yeah, real supportive, Kendra.

-Kiamat Dusk

As usual you confuse supporting the troops with supporting Bush's illegal aggression. By your support of Bush's misues of our military you actually put our troops in danger over an illegal and immoral war. Notice I place the emphasis on OUR. They are OUR troops, NOT Bush's. And the majority of US do not support this war.

Real supportive, Kiamat.

The majority of our troops support the war and believe in what they are fighting for. And don't try to save face now that your mask has slipped so fully. We've all known what you've really meant from day one. You can't call Bush Hitler without calling the troops Stormtroopers. And you didn't say those things were done by our troops because someone forced them to against their will. You just said they were done by our troops.

The only troops you support belong to Zarqawi.

-Kiamat Dusk

Bullshit.

I know what I said --and despite your lame attempt at Rovian spin cycling so does everyone else who read my post.

Troops do what they are ordered to do. What I find reprehensible is that this administration is ordering them to commit atrocities. The troops are being used. Show me data that indicates the majority of the troops support the war.
Most troops I have spoken to say they don't --that they are there now to stick up for their buddies, and to try and keep each other from getting killed.


Your blind allegiance to a war-criminal is, however, voluntary on your part. So I wouldn't hesitate to label you a traitor to our country. Much as I label any who serve in the current Bush administration.

Hmmm...the majority of US servicemembers are Republicans and voted for Bush (which is why Gore was more than happy to not count their votes in 2000). So, according to your math (carry the one, divide by three) the majority of the troops are "traitors to our country". More of your famous support.

As far as "troops do what they are ordered to do"-I don't recall hearing that argument from you during the Abu Ghraib scandal. You must be all broken up about poor Lynndie England then.

And there was no spin neccessary, Kendra. Just your own words. The spin is in the form of your attempts to reapply your mask.

"Most of the troops"? You mean everyone in Veterans for Peace? Did you march to get our troops out of Kosovo? Or is war ok when there's a Democrat in office?

-Kiamat Dusk

How do they feel now? Any data?



link?



I'm not convinced of your premise that the majority of the troops support Bush.



Then you weren't paying attention. I argued often that it was unfair for troops being scapegoated for carrying out orders coming from the top.




Broken up over a simple-minded girl caught in a situation out of her control and way over her head? Yes. I am.



What did you suppose I meant when I said OUR troops.? I have no mask, darlin'.



As a matter of fact, I started protesting the War in Kosovo when Bush senior started it and continued throughout Clinton's time there. I'm not married to a political party, dear.
I have actual integrity and values.
