Iraq Casualty Count as of 2100 EST, Wednesday, 01/26/2005

Sunday is “election” day.

My God, I hate to type these words - 38 Americans reportedly died today. That gives us a total of 85 American men and women who have died this month; 1278 since the “Mission Accomplished” sign was hung on the aircraft carrier; 1418 since Bush’s War began. 1,579 men and women from the participating nations have died since Bush’s war began.

10,662 American men and women have been wounded, 120 between 1/19 and 1/25. These data come from Iraq Coalition Casualties who can use our financial support.

Iraqis continue to be blown to bits and otherwise slaughtered by the score, with tens of thousands of men, women, and children killed and the infrastructure virtually destroyed.

And a thought: Dear Leader, the damned weasel, had a press conference today and didn’t even mention the loss of life until he was asked a direct question. He responded “Anytime we lose life, it’s a sad moment.” The SOB should have thought of that before he and his neocon cronies started this adventure in “spreading democracy.”
