I’m making good progress toward coming up with a plan that we think will help us achieve our objective. As I think about this plan I’m always — have our troops in mind. There’s nobody more important in this global war on terror than the men and women who wear the uniform, and their families.
Read that again: he’s making progress toward coming up with a plan that they think will help us achieve our objective.
Terry adds:
Time it took for Bush’s adventure in Iraq to kill 1,000 American service members:17 months, 15 days.
Time it took for another 1,000 to die: 13 months, 19 days.
Today we hit the 3,000 mark, 14 months, 5 days after the last such mark.
I wonder how important they feel, given how much more efficiently they’re being killed, the longer they stay in Iraq. What will the US toll be at the end? 5,000? 10,000?
