Who would have thought occupying a hostile nation would be difficult? How could you expect anyone to plan for such contingencies?

twenty dead in the two wars last week and the injures are not listed.

With all due respect to the icasualties website, I suspect that the number of actual dead in that illegal enterprise is much, much higher than what they quote.

So many destroyed lives and yet the killing continues ... it is truly sad and depressing that so many innocent people have suffered and died because of the actions of the criminals in your government.

That's the total coalition fatalities, not the total casualties, which includes killed and wounded. According to icasualties, there have been 34,091 American casualties in Iraq.

My condolences to Mr. Hardee's family. I know nothing about him and he was probably well intentioned. But you can hardly call what he produced "food" and he is responsible for an incredible amount of animal cruelty.

Come on Nicole, specify the time period correctly, and listen to #7.

With love,
