        The War has created over 100,000 US Casualties that will require long term medical care

        The War has reduced and diminished the cover for Medipay, and Medical Cover in the US.

        The War has driven the price of oil up more than 50% in the last two years.

        The War has made Air Travel almost unbrearable to and from the US

        The war costs the US Economy over 5 Billion a Week.

          with in excess of 3500 (Registered Military Personel dead - not counting the "civilian contractors" or Iraqis) over three times that number wounded (my conservative estimates, although the real number is close to 50,000)
          Although its funny that "over three times that number" to you isnt 10,000 BUT 50,000.

          Maths wasnt your best subject at school was it mohio

            The truth remains that your buddies launched an illegal invasion and are getting their asses kicked. They won't be up to any more little escapades for a while.

                The truth remains that no one, apart from surrender monkeys that is, has said the war is illegal.

                In fact I seem to remember a couple court cases recently when that arguement was thrown out on its arse as a justification for cowardice

                You can add me to your ignore list...but you know Im like coke baby. Once you had a taste of the Mailman there is no going back

                BTW, your momma says hello.

                  Well - we've demonstrated how Richard Perle has admitted that Commander Cuckoo-Banana's invasion was illegal - you had your chance to enter the test and you missed it. Have to be a bit quicker next time.

                  I'm not aware of any courts that have ruled whether the war was illegal or not - some have said it's not their role to judge when it's been brough tup as a defence. But in the case here: Pair cleared of air base damage a jury of their peers found them not guilty, can't say fairer than that.

                  Meanwhile, your buddies face miseable failure in the face.

                    According to the Daily Mail U.S. soldiers 'are murdering Iraqi civilians in cold blood'
                    The report comes as it emerged that former foreign secretary Jack Straw warned Tony Blair before the Iraq invasion that Saddam Hussein posed less of a threat than other "axis of evil" states.

                      here is the full source of the original article.

                      http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070730/hedges

                      disturbing , yet expected and sadly believable stuff.

                      This magazine along with http://www.fair.org/index.php are very good non-fox, non CNN sources of information, and as such are unlikely to contain the voodoo news that Mailman gulps down with each and every supersize slush mac-puppy blueberry....
