Lest we forget about Iraq

As of today, 1,898 young Americans have been killed in Iraq since Bush unleashed his mad war on March 19, 2003. 1,761 of these have been killed since Bush did his "mission accomplished" carrier show. That was May 1, 2003.

The official number of US wounded is now 14,362; the estimated number is between 15,000 and 42,500.

The latest US fatality was today.

Perhaps we will soon get an updated report from The Lancet on Iraqi deaths. In any case, these have to number way beyond 100,000 by now.

Madness. But at least many more people are waking up across the land and Bush's popular support is sinking day by day.
