Some one need to explain to Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice and Chaney what “dead” mean and what staying the course mean for our troops. Evidently, they have not seen their buddies fall and not get up ever again. This is not a John Wayne movie. Those dead troops will never see their parents, siblings and children and friends again. One troop is one too many for a n unjustified war. No cause is worth the 20,000 dead Iraqis, almost 3,000 troops and 20,000 physically and mentally wounded. This has to stop. They need to put their pride aside and bring our children home. A live loser is better than a dead winner or lose. Win or lose, it is all in vain.
