Yes, we've hit the dreaded marker. 2,000 American lives stolen.
Every one of them was someone's child. Many, many of them were someone's spouse, someone's parent. And they are gone. And the reason, as any rational person knows, is lies fabricated by the White House Iraq Group, abetted by the New York Times and the mainstream media, unresearched and tacitly approved by both parties in Congress.
2,000 human beings.
And those are just the Americans. Multiply that number by 50,000, and we start to get close to the number of dead Iraqis. And of those over 100,000, thousands of civilians, the elderly, women, and, of course, children.
This is precisely what Traitorgate is about. Joe Wilson outed the lie, and he was punished for it. But the real punishment has been meted out to the over 102,000 ordinary folk who have been mowed down to benefit this profit-mad regime.
What human being with any sense of compassion can continue to support this illegal war that has massacred so many?
