So is the debate on Iraq basically going... Well I know this guy over there and he says??
I know a nurse that works in Germany where the wounded go. He says they get plane loads of injured every week. I think 1 American without 1 leg is entirely too much. I strongly disagree with a body count as a measure for a wars severity. The severity is in the kids without dads/moms; the disabled one at a time!!!

I agree, tell that to the insurgents that do that to these people.

What's even worse is the guy that comes home with one leg will not recieve the assistance he deserves because Republicans believe it is "socialist" to help Americans. I agree wit you htough. We may only have 3300 dead, but we have tens of thousands of injured, not to mention the PTSD that most of them are suffering from because of the horrors they have experienced. ....some things are just as bad as death.

YES! I always hear 3,225 dead but not the 50,000 who literally are not walking away from this.

We see things diferently. I would give up my life, my parents, my children's, and their children's lives is if meant we could stop the terrorists' agenda. And to Steve above - What we are against is paying for the livliehood forever more of everday people who have PTSD because someone was mean to them once. Get a grip!

the invasion and occupation of Iraq was a mistake and has turned out to be a disaster. Democrats have no choice but to work towards an ending to the fiasco and civil war there which is because of the mistakes by Bush-Cheney. The US is not prepared to help those who have lost sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers, much less those who have been wounded and lost limbs or brain activity. The sadness and struggle for years to come will be as a direct result of the Bush doctrine and the tragedy to America and Iraq as a result. The world will not soon forget the horror and treachery of the current commander in chief.

Who cares about the wrongs and the rights of this war? Your opinion means jack because whatever you say or do doesn't affect the outcome. I just can't wait for the inevitable world war 3 to get underway and I believe by 2010 it will be well in full swing and the majority of you believers in, this country won't do this because it isn't in their economical interests to do so and this country won't do that because they need this country to prosper crap. World war 3 will be a no holds barred, ultimate scramble for survival and those who didn't live through the last world war as I didn't, cannot even comprehend a third one. Everyone has their pissant little view on what should happen in the war but it is not your decision. Or your friends or neighbours or family. Just forget about worrying whether 1 leg is too much or kids without parents and get ready to survive an all out world war. If you cannot see it coming you are blind.

It's so true, yet the president and people backing him don't look at our casualties of war as people with families, they are totally detached to what happens to these people. Oh, sure they go out and shake hands with a wounded person or a person who lost a loved one for PR sake, but they see these people as a means to thier end. They couldn't even fathom putting thier own family members into a situation where they may die, or lose parts of their bodies. Just the pedestal he puts himself on, and the level of protection he makes the military give him for any live speech he makes, clearing the skies, making no fly zones, having snipers on roofs, and secret service surrounding him, in order to visit a school or town for a couple of minutes to talk to the people. Yet our soldiers are sent out into a haven of terrorist, some with no idea of how to protect themselves, is something wrong with this picture? I'd like to know why this president doesn't go over to Iraq to visit our troops? He will go to Saudi Arabia, because these people who were responsible for supplying most of the terrorist that bombed the Twin Towers, are his friends. This president shoves it right in our faces, and all we seem to be able to do in retaliation, is drop our jaws and scratch our heads. Tell your nurse friend that we really appreciate her for what she's doing for our troops and we are fighting to try to stop this war, so she won't have to see fresh military men and women blown to pieces anymore. God Bless them all, it won't happen but, I hope we can bring them home without losing another person.
