"The White House warned Wednesday that Americans must be prepared for troop casualties if the United States launches military action against Iraq."

Can you say "DUH!"???????

You mean people actually get killed in war? No way!

There are probably people out there who think attacking Iraq will be as bloodless (to the Americans) as paintball.

This may be the first time that the shrub considered this.

The Brilliance of our wonderful President:
Americans ought to be prepared for loss of life. Americans ought to be prepared for the importance of disarming Saddam Hussein to protect the peace.

This moron never ceases to amaze me. Once again our President fails to provide any specifics about how many lives may be potentially lost. Throughout his entire campaign to invade Iraq he has consistently failed to provide any specific details about what the costs of this war are going to be in terms of lives or money. Why? Because he is not concerned about the cost of this war to those who will lose their lives or to the American tax payer, his only concern is profits for oil corporations.

Oh, and you have to love this President's brilliant logic: (1) let's go to war to protect peace; (2) let's CUT taxes to INCREASE revenues and reduce the national debt; (3) let's weaken environmental regulations in order to improve air and water quality. .:banghead: This President's stupidity never ceases to amaze me

Oh, oh really? Hmm. Well, I guess I'm going to have to stop supporting the war now. I'll send a letter to Bush, and surely he'll put a stop to things before anyone gets hurt. I do wish they had told me this sooner, it might have made me consider my stance on this more carefully.

Tragically, while the concept of 'screwing for abstinance' would seem to have merit by that logic, I doubt it will occur to him to promote it...

I find it more amazing that he has so many believing this BS.

War is peace
Ignorance is Strength.
Freedom is Slavery.

What's illogical about that?

Do The Media Know That War Kills?

Of course, they mostly talk about the Iraqis we'll be liberating into pieces.
