Faces of the Fallen

[libertango]

From Josh Marshall comes a referral to this page from the Washington Post. It's a graphical display of every single US soldier kiiled so far in Iraq.

These are the over 1100 brave men and women, so far, who have had to die because their commander-in-chief wants to brag to his daddy about conquering a country his father was wise enough not to touch.

Here's hoping that, someday, our soldiers regain a commander-in-chief worthy of their skills, their loyalty, and their sacrifice.

Jeezum crow. I am beyond words at the waste.

The butcher's bill is high and continues to grow...and what was the gain? Were we defending our freedom? The president seems to think he was, though all reports indicate they didn't really have the capability.

You know, I heard someone say the other day "When was the last time the US really fought for their own freedom?"
