While Bush is listening and learning and thinking about Iraq, the
death toll mounts in his war
by Joe in DC
No wonder Laura Bush doesn't want the media to report on George Bush's
quagmire.
Unfortunately, what the Washington Post reports today is the reality
in Iraq:

Seven more American service members have been killed in Iraq, the U.S.
military reported Tuesday.
It is the second deadliest month of the year for troops.
With five days left in December, 87 service members have died,
according to figures provided by the military and news releases of
combat deaths.
The deadliest month this year was October, when attacks in Baghdad and
the western Iraqi province of Anbar killed 105 U.S. troops.
The total number of U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war announced by
the Pentagon is 2,961.
Because almost everyone is telling Bush that it's time to start
winding down our involvement in Iraq, he has to do the opposite.
His only solution is an escalation of his war -- because these numbers
aren't high enough.
I'm sure George, Laura and the girls had a terrific Christmas -- and
got lots of sleep.
