Same MSM that lied us in there, lied about surge success, and hides antiwar protests and sentiment within this country.
Hey, you don't care, America, then no longer will I!
"With fewer eyes on Iraq, US deaths near 4,000 mark"
"by Bradley Brooks, Associated Press | March 17, 2008
BAGHDAD - Sometime soon, the US military will suffer the 4,000th death of the war in Iraq.
When the 1,000th American died in September 2004, the insurgency was just gaining steam. The 2,000th death occurred as Iraq held its first elections in decades, in October 2005. The United States announced its 3,000th loss on the last day of 2006, at the end of a year rocked by sectarian violence.
The 4,000th death will happen with the war further out of the public eye, and replaced by other topics on the front burner of the US presidential campaigns.
Yeah, THANKS, MSM!!!
Makes you wonder if this economic crisis hasn't been planned (it has), doesn't it, readers?
Analysts say the 4,000 dead, while an arbitrary marker, could inject the war debate back into the campaign season, particularly with the war's fifth anniversary on Thursday.
Yeah, right!
Not bloody likely after the MSM has LIED SO MUCH about the OCCUPATION!!!!
Or, with overall violence lower in Iraq, the milestone could pass with far less public discussion than in past years.
That's what I would more likely suspect from AmeriKa's MSM!
Like it has been discussed much at all, other than the MSM conventional lie and myth promotion!!!!
Last year was the deadliest for American troops in Iraq, with 901 troops killed. As of yesterday, at least 3,988 Americans have died in Iraq.
But the SURGE was a SUCCESS!!!!
And WHAT was ACCOMPLISHED, anyway?
Was it WORTH IT, 'murka?!
James Carafano, a military analyst with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, said that the decline in violence since 30,000 troops were sent into Iraq last summer has been more important in the public's eye.
Especially with the MSM shoveling for all they are worth!!!!
Oh, yeah, about that violence:
The number of Iraqis killed by the surge has been around 300 per day, 10,000 per month -- with 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion.

You clear now, readers?
"Americans are not casualty averse. They are failure averse," Carafano said. "They were unhappy with the lack of progress and spiraling violence. That is why you have seen public support rebound after it was clear the surge was working."
Translation: More Americans dead = surge working!
But violence was down?
How's that shit (chomp-chomp) taste, 'murkn?
The number killed in Iraq is far less than in other modern American wars.
So it's all good then, right?
Never mind the LIES that got us in there, this UNNECESSARY EXERCISE in MASS-MURDER!!!!
In Vietnam, the United States lost on average about 4,850 troops a year from 1963 to 1975. In the Korean War, from 1950 to 1953, the nation lost about 12,300 soldiers a year.
A 2006 Duke University study found that it was 100 times more likely that an American knew one of the 292,000 Americans killed in World War II than it would be that someone today knew a service member slain in Iraq.
Soldiers and analysts alike say the impact of the casualties in Iraq has been largely lost on many Americans who have no personal connection to the war.
"It's still a war that hasn't involved a draft or an increase in taxes," said Jon Alterman, who heads the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "This is a war that most Americans continue to feel they don't have to make sacrifices for."
Yeah, except the economy is shitting the bed and the TRILLIONS we are spending on this OCCUPATION of the PLANET IS COSTING US, fuck stick!!!!!!!!!!!
Alterman said that while the Iraq war has not played as big of a role in the campaigns as once expected, the confluence of 4,000 slain troops, the fifth anniversary, and the crucial Pennsylvania Democratic primary could push the war back to the forefront.
Pfffffffttt!
He's not familiar with the Zionist-control of AmeriKa's MSM, readers!!!!!
They REMOVED it quite well, and they aren't going to go back and expose their own lying!!!!

"It may be that stacking three things together refocuses the debate," he said. "Or it may be that people are simply tired of the war, tired of talking about it, and are wanting to think of something else."
Yup, no, no!!!!
Carafano said that the public's seeming indifference to casualty figures is the rule - not the exception - for most wars America has been in.
That why the American people have had to be LIED INTO and DRAGGED INTO all the WARS?!
Huh, shitter neo-con?
"In war and everything else, Americans get energized when they are touched in a personal way. In most wars, not just Iraq, that does not happen," he said.
Sigh! I'm fucking speechless at the shit coming out of this guy's puss!!!!
That's why we PROTESTED THE START of this one in RECORD NUMBERS!!!
It's why the lying Zionist press BURIES ANTIWAR PROTESTS in its pages, right, neo-con shitter?!
Readers, I HAVE HAD IT with the DAMN LIES!!!
How 'bout you?
Retired Army General Barry McCaffrey said during a recent speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York that the situation for US soldiers in Iraq is "infinitely better" now than during 2006, when Americans were losing the equivalent of a battalion - about 600 to 1,000 soldiers - a month to deaths and injuries.
Even though we just had the worst year yet!!!
McCaffrey the BUTCHER!!!!!!
As for Iraq being "infinitely better," maybe you will go live with them for a while, fucker!!!!!!!
Readers, I'm almost done for now because I HAVE HAD IT with the SHITTY ZIONIST PRESS and their GOD-DAMNED LYING!!!!!!!!!!
But McCaffrey said the US military is being drained of its energy and morale because of the slow pace of training that will allow more Iraqi soldiers to take over the fight. American soldiers, he said, are "becoming increasingly unsure about the position they've been placed in."
Why? I heard our fighting men are all into bringing the democracy!!!
Why would they be "unsure about the position" they are in when the SURGE WORKED?
WTF?
Why would moral be down when Iraq is "infinitely" better, Barry, you FUCKING GOD-DAMNED LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What that position is will largely be determined by who wins the presidency in November.
Pfffffffttt!
You ain't going ANYWHERE, soldier!!!!!
And America need wait on the NEXT SELECTED DICTATOR to "save us," huh?
Hmmmmmm.
"The military is very conscious of the long-term costs of the war," Alterman said.
Sure they are: MORE MONEY COMING IN all the TIME!!!!
"But we have a civilian-led military and it is for the civilians to decide when we fight and how we fight. As much as the military is conscious of the costs of continuing to fight, they are also aware it isn't their decision whether to stop or not," he said."
And if the military is told to kill itself, they will just salute smartly and do it, right?
You know, the oath says ALL ENEMIES, foreign AND DOMESTIC, soldiers!!!!
Yup, that's what AMERIKA'S "NEWSPAPERS" are for!!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King [George] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
BETTER START LISTENING TO US, SHITHEADS!!!!!
Or we are COMING FOR YOU, too!!!!!!!!!!
Starting to look FORWARD to it!!!!!!
