Link below.
"U.S. CASUALTIES: As of Tuesday, April 77, 2,360 U.S. service members (including 12 Idahoans) have died since the war in Iraq began in March 2003: 1,850 in combat and 510 from non-combat related incidents and accidents. Injured service members total 17,549. In the last week, 22 U.S. soldiers died.
Since President George W. Bush declared "mission accomplished" aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003, 2,214 soldiers have died."
What did these young Americans die for? Not for a cheap supply of gasoline. Prices here are almost $3 a gallon. Not for democracy. The Iraqi "government" won't put their ethnic and religious differences aside to form a united front. Not for the security of our country. The debt we're incurring every day in Iraq is being bought by countries that are not necessarily our friends. Our Army is having a problem recruiting new soldiers.

NEVER FORGET 9/11
Been listening to Laura Ingraham (sp?) Show today while harrowing, listening to transcripts of flt 93. What courageous people. Had to stop a few times because I couldn't see through my tears. That's why we're over there, DIS. They came here to destroy us, but they underestimated our patriotism and love for our country so they didn't get the White House. I'm glad we're fighting the war on their turf. Maybe you should try to remember 9/11 DIS and never forget it

| What part of the Gorge are you from, floyd? I'm often in that area - my dogs in my avatar are actually on a cliff looking out on the Columbia River. Someday, I hope to move to The Dalles.
