Special US envoy Burns visited Damascus Thursday with final
warning to Assad to stop stirring up trouble in Iraq, Israel
and Palestinian Authority. Two days later, Arafat sent Nabil
Sha'ath to Damascus to coordinate counter-American moves
with Assad
Since you are a Jewish guy reporting, sure we believe you. <grin>
You have an issue believing Jews?
Lots of folks do, Richard. Jewish folks got a severe credibility
problem amongst many. This is not helped when we look at out the world
and see many Jewish Zionists lying their fool heads off about this and
that. If Jews wish to combat this stereotype, they should each
concentrate on being honest and condemning the liars in their midst.

killed per day. The British have suffered 51 killed or missing; their
wounded tally is unknown. US casualty totals cover both civilians and
military victims of the War on Terror in the locales listed above.
British totals cover the Iraq War only.
A rough though incomplete estimate of Iraqi civilan casualties so far is
7,846 killed and 19,733 wounded. The cost of the Iraq War so far has
been $69.5 billion.
*Unofficial figures includes an attempt to factor in an interview on US
NPR radio show with Lietenant-Colonel Alan DeLane, in charge of the
airlift into Andrews AF Base Hospital in Maryland. He stated that 8000+
wounded US troops from Iraq, with 90% of the injuries being directly
related to combat, have stayed in their hospital since the war started.
