Now they can finally come home, right?
What would the US military do without authoritative websites? From Australia's 'The Age:' US troop deaths in Iraq reach 3,000:
The number of US military deaths in Iraq has reached 3,000 since the 2003 US-led invasion, an authoritative website tracking war deaths says.
Authoritative? Here's what they say about themselves:
This site is maintained by amateurs. We have no affiliation with the government, think tanks, or news organizations. The site is maintained during the early morning hours, late at night, and during lunch breaks.This site is provided as a free service and is self financed with cost off set by user donations.
On the bright side, it's good to see a blog outfit recognized as a news source. Just wait 'til Three Sources hits the Mainstream!
US Army Specialist Dustin R. Donica of Spring, Texas, rest in peace. Your actions in life were part of something far greater than a macabre, anti-Bush milestone.

I don't understand this morbid fascination with round numbers and death counts.
Did 2,998 not count?
Did 1,733 not count?
Posted by: AlexC at December 31, 2006 4:39 PMWe lost 2500 on the first day storming Iwo Jima. We lost a total of over 7500 during the same campaign.
The Dems are pinning their hopes on this slow, drip-drip-drip of deaths to increase the sheeps' (um,..populace's)unease and fatigue with the GWOT in general.
