StumbleLetter: Too many deaths in Bush’s war
Friday, July 2, 2004 | 8:25 a.m.
As of this writing, there have been 857 GIs killed in President Bush's pre-emptive war against the Iraqi people, averaging 51 per month since March 19, 2003.
The wounded and maimed now number 4,387, averaging 292 per month in the same period.
Several estimates of the innocent Iraqi civilians killed, mostly women and children, number somewhere between 19,000 and 21,000.
Let us not forget that Bush "talked to a higher father," who told him to go war. I wonder if that "higher father" is pleased about all the carnage.
