If so did you catch how many of soldiers they said had been killed in action? I could have sworn I heard some insane number, I don't even want to say what I think I heard. If anyone else caught this, or has what they believe to be an accurate count, please post. Thanks, and God Bless Our Troops. I sure hope that I heard wrong.

Players, that's what I thought I heard. Fack man I hope that was a mistake, that's about 9X what I had originally thought.

That was some disturbing segment, that's all I can say. Sending our men into battle so ill-prepared is downright sick.

Sad but probably true Noreaga.

I never realized "casualties" "included" wounded, shows what I know.

Even one death is too many!

We should not even be there to begin with. I always laugh when I hear these neocons talk about how Iraq and Afganistan are democracies because of what we did. Who the f u k cares? Why are we trying to impose our will onto other parts of the globe?


Anyone who thinks the invasion of Iraq made us safer is a complete and utter moron. If anything, it made people hate us even more (if that is even possible).

great point....

one that American's forget... The people of Iraq needed to decide how they wanted to live.... If it took them 100 years to revolt against dictatorships... SO BE IT... It was their country

The government doesn't report daily wounded unless there were soldiers killed along with them. You know 8 dead, 10 wounded. If no dead, no commeny from the government.

The mainstream media seems to have given the government a pass on this issue.

Many of these wounded are coming home limbless, some are coming home paralalegic for life. This is a result of better care in the field that gets to them quicker and saves more lives. I read somewhere that most of the wounded would have been KIA if they sustained the same injuries in the first Gulf War.

Also why don't you neocons talk about the fact that your idol never went to a single funeral of a fallen U.S soldier? Perhaps it is because you are embaressed that your idol risked the lives of many citizens on his Jesus Crusade and only cares about himself, not our country.

You honestly believe that he cares only about himself? You are one ####ing demented left wing wacko. That is embarrassing to even say. He has tons of compassion. Say what you want about agreeing or disagreeing with his policies but to say something like that about the man's character makes you looking faulking idiotic although you may be I suppose. What a freaking dumb comment. Don't know whether to laugh or cry that there are ********* like that in our great country.

They say that only those with a small vocabulary resort to using profanity multiple times in a single paragraph or statement.

Figures though, as the majority of Bush supporters are those with no education beyond high school.

Neocons= Warped republicans who have lost touch with reality. IE. People who cite religion as a reason to invade other countries or to ban medical treatments that could benefit the well being of society as a whole.

I am also talking about people who support Bush for no logical rhyme or reason.

BaseballGuy,
I know what a "Neocon" is, that was not my question. You are talking as if you are addressing those of us in this thread. Where did I once mention my political stand? Forgive me if i'm wrong, but if appears you are arbitrarily pegging anyone who asks a political question as a Neocon.

Also you state that "the majority of Bush supporters are those with no education beyond high school". It is a long known fact that "new" voters, and or "non-educated" voters are primarliy democratic.

Anyway, I just wanted clarification on the 60 minutes segment. Have a good night.

That is completely untrue. Show me one source that says this.

BTW .. I was not referring to you in any of my posts.

EVERYWHERE you read will say that uneducated voters are democratic. It is easy to see, the poor votes democratic and they are the uneducated 90% of the time

ALso, new voters are usually one of 2 groups of people. Young voters or the uneducated voter who has NEVER been registered. Both of these groups are democratic!!
