This Week with George Stephanopoulos marks the passings of former Ambassador Anne Armstrong, former Surgeon General and HeadStart founder Dr. Julius Richmond, journalist Edie Huggins, Congressman John Seiberling, as well as 3 soldiers and Marines killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to icasualties, the total fatalities for the Iraq coalition is now 4,442. And per Iraq Body Count, there were 130 Iraqi civilians killed this week.
In July, there were 589 confirmed killings of Iraqi civilians, 25 of which were children and 14 by U.S. forces.
Sad
What if they had a War and no one reported it?

We are
Too bad Alexander Sohoyletzhin is not on the list. A brave man, particularly to face the killing-happy USSR government the way he did.
I wonder if the mothers or grandmothers of these children killed would want revenge. I would. I certainly would. If we were being occupied by another country and the enemy killed my daughter I would make it my mission in life to get even. Even if it cost me my life.
You know who also died. The Anthrax patsy Ivins. Biggest m$m and blogosphere story right now and no post from C&L. But lots a MTP.
Sad.
No wonder xoites and others are leaving.
So, with 589 dead and 25 were children, Where's the success McCain is talking about? I have noticed a total media blackout regarding Iraq and Afghanistan. Meanwhile McCain is screaming about race relations and using bimbo starlets in his ads. Jeez, the MSM and politicains think were are really stupid.
equilibrio @ 6:
Guess what? Did a post on Ivins above.
If you'd like my job, contact John Amato. Otherwise, feel free to find the door and let yourself out rather than act pissy and try to concern troll us because the story YOU want to see isn't up RIGHT NOW.
Nicole@8, Is it really you? I love your work. Keep it up! C&Ls is one of my favorites.
P.D. @ 9:
It is me and thank you, P.D.
It's nice to hear some thanks for all the hard work for a change. :)
Nicole@10, don't take it so hard. I can almost feel the angry and distrust from our fellow C&Ls. 8 years of Bush will do it to you. You add in frustration of an inept Congress with no balls and you have disillusionment that anyone will be brought to justice. Like I said, keep up the great work!
Nicole, just to echo PD's sentiments ... THANK YOU for everything you do. You are amazing and C&L is always outstanding.
130 Iraqi civilians killed this week - and no mention of it in a single TV news program or newspaper.
I wonder how many of them were children... too sad.
