Find it disturbing how little mention this is getting on sites like foxnews which is only mentioning the 4 soldiers being killed. Or for that matter any conservative website, i can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere on their frontpages. Pro war or not, this is a tragic statistic, that deserves attention to show(and honor) just how much has been sacrificed.

Its a number. Everytime the the casualty number hits 500 or a 1000 mark this website goes nuts. All the souls lost in between are ignored by you guys. EVERY soldier kia is a tragedy and sad and we as parents of soldiers worry about our sons and daughters every minute. Despite what the media portays MOST of the parents support the mission because that supports our kids.

its absolutely disgusting the way the dinosaur media and the anti-american left morbidly trumpet these sort of milestones--it isnt done out of any concern for the cause or the troops..just another way to push their self-indulgent agenda into the headlines--this "i support the troops but not the mission" fence sitting , does neither

You chickenhawks really do seem to get your nationalistic tailfeathers all twisted when anyone reminds you that while you "support" the troops from the safety of your climate-controlled home and bitch about taxes, Americans who have served 3-4 tours are still DYING daily in Bush's illegal failed occupation of Iraq.
Of COURSE it serves the interest of warmonger wingjobs like you to keep the raw reality of the staggering costs of this colossal blunder on the hush hush. The less Americans know about what's happening, the less likely they are to raise any objections to the criminality of it all. You accuse others of being "anti-American" when I suspect you're sacrificing absolutely NOTHING yourselves (because we all know cons aren't beating a path to military recruitment offices). Get serious.

Seems to me that the lack of cause is EXACTLY the reason that such milestones rankle the 70% of the people of America who want this ill begotten adventure brought to an end.
Supporting a war which only weakens and hurts American interests is incredibly dunderheaded and not the sort of support I care to endorse.

You call the left "anti-American," yet you support and fully endorse policies that have weakened our military, brought economic ruin to our country, put thousands of our soldiers in their graves and dissolved all good will and respect for our flag and country. YOU are the traitor to America.
The neocons are the worst thing that has ever happened to our great country. There will come a reckoning one day. You should hide your face in shame for supporting this debasement of our principles and morality.

When we are silent, you assume we support the war.
When we question it, you call us traitors.
How can two thirds of America be anti-American?
If a soldier is ordered to fight, he must fight. That is his duty. A civilian must support the troops by being a serious, questioning gatekeeper on the purposes and goals of the fighting.
All else is empty, self-flattering flag-waving.

ningyo - Why is reminding everyone of the death toll to try to bring the troops home early "anti-American"? Is your idea of being pro-American leaving these exhausted, stressed out GI's out in harm's way? Many have served multiple tours of duty.
All this for a war that should never have started. A war that was based on a pile of lies and errors. A war that has now evolved into a monstrous civil war that can only be ended by Iraqis themselves. A war that was so poorly planned for that the Pentagon allowed soldiers to go into battle w/ inadequate body armor and poorly shielded humvees. A war that was so poorly executed that foreign insurgents were able to easily infiltrate into Iraq and take target practice on our troops. A war that diverted attention and troops away from our real enemy - Osama bin Laden.
You are the real anti-American. Shame on you.

All the objections of those who opposed the war from the beginning have been proven correct. This article has a particularly good summary of the CONTINUING follies and lies.
Five Years and Counting: Ten Unpleasant Truths About the War in Iraq
.....
5. The "surge" has failed as a strategy. Increased U.S. troop strength brought internal violence back down to 2005 levels, but political reconciliation did not occur and the level of violence is now rising. Judged by the administration's own criteria, the strategy has not worked. Current force levels are not sustainable, and prolonging the surge would damage our armed forces further and weaken our global position even more.

6. The US cannot win the war at acceptable cost. America's ability to dictate political events in Iraq was never very great and is steadily declining. Iraqis will determine their country's future, not us, and prolonging the US presence will not alter this fact. Although Saddam is gone and Iraq will eventually recover, that result will not have been worth the enormous economic, diplomatic, and human costs incurred.
7. The search for scapegoats is underway. Civilians who now argue that the surge is "working" are trying to pin failure either on Bush's successor, or on those who have opposed the war from the beginning. By claiming things are improving and victory is in sight, they are preparing to blame defeat on whoever finally does get us out. But if there is no prospect for meaningful victory, staying in Iraq is strategically foolish and a cavalier waste of American lives.

Tragic Reprise: A Nation of Stupid Children, Who Refuse to Give Up the Lies
As the United States is about to begin the sixth year of its eternally unforgivable, genocidal war crime in Iraq, I direct your attention to a piece I wrote just over a year ago, on March 1, 2007. I could have selected any number of essays, but this one will do for my purposes.

"A Nation of Stupid Children, Who Refuse to Give Up the Lies" arose out of yet another of the utterly meaningless controversies of the moment. Such daily contortions over trivialities -- which contortions consume our major media and far too many bloggers of all political persuasions -- prevent us from understanding anything of significance about the actual meaning of our nation's actions. This is why so many of us love them so much: we never have to think and, of even greater importance, we never have to do a damned thing that might actually matter to stop the ongoing crimes. In this case, the circus was set in motion by John McCain's comment that the United States had "wasted a lot of ... American lives" in Iraq.
And the heavens shook. Almost no one would speak the truth, which was far, far worse than anything McCain or any other national figure had said.....

How Two Leading Journalists Played the Public to Help Bush Sell His War

Donald H. Rumsfeld called the evidence linking Saddam and Al Qaeda "bulletproof." (He would later say, "To my knowledge, I have not seen any strong, hard evidence that links the two" -- and then walk that statement back.) CIA Director George J. Tenet, carrying the administration's water by misrepresenting what his CIA knew, said there were ties going back a decade. (He meant that they were a decade old.) Vice President Dick Cheney went on "Meet The Press" again and again to say that 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta met with an agent of Iraqi intelligence. (In early 2002, the FBI and the CIA debunked this claim.)

Baghdad: How to Disintegrate a City
... Though many Baghdad communities are now experiencing their lowest levels of violence in two years, their situations are neither viable, nor stable. The cement barriers, which help to reduce violence, also make social and economic life nearly impossible. Most Baghdadis are now locked into their individual ghettos, terrified of strangers, often afraid to send their children to schools across barriers and neighborhoods, and unable to reach previously held jobs. Employers, deprived of needed workers and customers, have shuttered their establishments. The economy has largely ground to a halt.

For most of Baghdad, the Iraqi government is simply irrelevant. It has no administrative apparatus in any of these communities or the capacity to restore needed services. Its only visible presence, the Iraqi army, is commanded or controlled by American officers; insofar as Iraqi soldiers do act independently, they follow the leadership of Shia militia commanders, not the central government. In neighborhoods even a few hundred feet from the Green Zone, the Iraqi government does not exist.
The Americans remain a major presence, but not a sovereign one. They maintain the most fearsome of the militias in Baghdad, capable of militarily overwhelming any adversary, but incapable of creating stable rule, even in cement-encircled ghost areas like Haifa Street. They cannot deliver electricity, or water, or jobs, or even, often enough, safe passage to the next neighborhood.

Yes this is another milestone in this war and some will say 4000 is just a number and why is it being made a story, but for thoise who oppose the war doing so on a daily basis doesn't always get the point across. For those who still support the war I still am wondering why they blindly follow, these people are the same people who when discussing the second world war talk of the countries of Germany and Japan and their exploits to dominate the areas they occupied, they say that those two countries has expansionist ideas and yet they support their own government which has shown to follow similar ideas under the banner of democracy or with the fight on terrorism. 9/11 was a sad day not only for America but for the world for it allowed the world leader at that time to gain free liberty to most regions in the world. The U.S. needed a central base in the oil rich area of the mid east ahd they chose to destroy the country of Iraq to do so. The troops will never come home, this is now home.

If the surge has worked, why is it not possible to force the Iraqis to police their own country?
Why is the U.S.A. spending billions a month for the sole purpose of providing a police service for the do-nothing Iraqi government?
After five-plus years, it is time to turn over the responsibility of policing Iraq to the Iraqis.

Here is the new twist.
The London Daily Mirror reports today that the US military in Iraq (Ge. Betray-us) is secretly asking the British to do the "SURGE" in Southern Iraq & Basra as there has been a violent militia uprising. Only few months back the British handed over control to local forces.
Can there be any bigger HYPOCRISY on the part of this Administration and its poster child Gen. Betray-us.
They should waterboard that SOB Colin Powell who lied before UN to start this genocide, so he can tell all the secrets.

It is time also to remember 90,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children who have give their lives for the US invasion and occupation. How they died or who killed them is irrelavent.
To keep chanting 4000, 4000, 4000 is the height of HYPOCRISY that the rest of the world does not understand about this country and its supporters of the invasion & occupation.
Whoever, calls this a WAR is a party to the deaths of 4000 90,000.
Whoever is calling this an INVASION & OCCUPATION are the people who are trying in vain to end it.

The U.S. death toll hit 4000 in two weeks on Iwo Jima alone. That was for a sandbar 8 miles long by 2 miles wide. That action was, and still is, considered heroic. Just what were our strategic and tactical reasons for that action?
Perhaps applying that same question to today's conflict will help (at least to those willing to think about it) get some perspective. There have been, and there remain, overwhelming strategic and tactical reasons for us to be in Iraq and remain in Iraq... even for as long as it has taken in Europe and, particularly, Korea.

Iwo Jima is not Iraq. The Japanese attacked us. We invaded Iraq. To compare the deaths is to trivialize their sacrifice.
Those 4000 may not seem like much to you, but it sure would matter if it was you, or a family member who was killed. I have noticed that those who are the strongest supporters of this war, are not the ones who are choosing to put their money(body?) where their mouth is, as recruiting is lacking, and they're needing to relax qualifications to get the bodies.
The overwhelming strategic and tactical reasons for us being in Iraq, was a misguided effort to make the ME safer for Israel, and increase profits for corporate America. A bought-and-paid-for Bush was only too happy to comply.

Iwo Jima is a good example, as a contrast.
We were a country unjustly attacked by a clear enemy. We responded with the goal of defending our lives, defeating their army.
The country understood the reasons, and the goals; and supported them. Iwo Jima was a stepping-stone to Tokyo.
Policing the anarchy between civilian religious groups in the post-overthrow ruins of a mesopotamian dictator has no believable benefit for America. We only waste money, lives, our unity and the respect of the rest of the world.

"my children & grandchildren who will have to pay for this fiasco"
Don't start in with how much this war is costing, when here at home, Detroit's pimp-hop Mayor "Kwame" has already cost his city's taxpayers millions for his corruption, misconduct and perjury. And New York's now ex-governor used his power - and the taxpayer's money and time - to pay for high-priced prostitutes. And New Jersey's ex-governor, whose sex scandal trial is costing taxpayers... and the mayor of San Francisco, whose affair was dragged into the public...and the mayor of L. A., whose affair was dragged into the public...
Meanwhile, our troops are busy doing their JOBS, risking their lives to protect our freedoms, our way of life and our foreign interests.
It's shameful and embarrassing how our public "servants" behave the way they do and bilk the taxpayers, while our troops risk their lives to protect these douchbags and their "right" to behave that way.

from the beginning our leaders gave away US power in the situation. By declaring that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators and will embrace democracy, and that we would win hearts and minds, etc etc.
You know what all that does?
It lets other people, not the US, but other people the power to control what we do
Look at the events commonly given as things-call them 'benchmarks' if you like-that need to occur in order for us to leave, and you will see they are all things THAT ARE NOT UP TO US.
THEY must stop killing each other
THEY must become self-governing
THEY must be able to defend themselves

Some geniuses decided to throw us into a situation that hamstrings us from the get
again, it's a logic problem. Logic is important because if you start with a faulty premise, like taking over a country forcing people to be self-governing and democratic, this is what happens
You give them the power because that personal power of self-governance and independence can't be mandated or forced
It's up to them, not us

However much we detested Blair for his sycophancy to Bush on Iraq at least when he appeared in the House of Commons each week to answer Prime Minister's Questions he had the decency to read out the names of the British Soldiers who had died that week. Did Bush even do anything remotely similar? I think not. He even instructed the US Media not to publish any photographs of the coffins arriving in the US from Iraq. Control of the media is the first step on a slippery slope. What was that about a free media?

Just because the press says that we've accomplished nothing doesn't mean its true. For instance, by entering Iraq we actually DECREASED the amount of military casualties we had each year.
To back up my statement, take a look at this site:
"Military Deaths Since 1980"
http://www.qando.net/details.aspx?Entry=3609
and this one
"Comparing the military death rates"
http://www.murdoconline.net/archives/004581.html
Find anything interesting yet? The press keeps hammering away at us, telling us that the Iraq War is the cause of all the military casualties, when in fact, the casualty rate is actually lower than it was before we went to war.
Also, the Clinton numbers are especially interesting. If we're so concerned about our casualty statistics than maybe we ought to reconsider voting for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.

I noticed two things. Both sites are right wing talking point sites (for example next to the article on qando was an advertisement that said, "Tell you congressman to eliminate the death tax now." Neither site shows the source of its statistics. Qando has a link, but it won't load. Do they include the accidental deaths in other parts of the military with those that have occurred in the 2003-2008 statistics so that the comparison with the stats from 1980-2003 is valid. Nope.
More right-whiner hype unless you show us where your stats come from and how they were compiled.
