How quaint... comparing 3,300 lost souls to a punch in the nose. I'll bet that would make their families think again before entrusting the lives of their remaining children to the leadership of this nation. Which will of course make us much safer in the long run right? How about a different comparison? You up for that? Lets try how BushCo has tossed our troops into a wolves den, under armored and under manned... and refuses general after general until he finds one willing to speak the party line. Now, with the above analogy, wouldn't you agree... the people "looking out for the troops" would be best served to back up and defend Home first, Iraq second? That would not be BushCo's style... he's more into "Run the company into bankruptcy and blame someone else".
