Remember 2,000 dead?
Remember way back when the 2,000 US soldier died in Iraq. Way back last Wednesday. Well, as of this morning, 2,016 have died. Despite the fact that there hasn't been a major attack, this has not been a good week. 83 US soldiers have died this month. Take a look at the previous Oct. link. There are alot more threes and fours killed in a single attack. Successful change in tactics by the Iraqis?
It's horrible, just horrible.
Tell me again about WMD's, DICK.

So while no one can predict what will happen—I think this is important to say—when the United States withdraws its troops from Iraq, the point is that we’re choosing between the certainty of an ongoing disaster, the chaos and violence that are taking place in Iraq today, and an eventuality we can’t predict which may be bad. But what may be bad is uncertain; what’s bad with our occupation right now is certain. It seems to me that, choosing between the two, you have to take a chance on what might happen if you end the occupation. At the same time, of course, you do whatever you can to mitigate the worst possibilities of your leaving.
