101 soldiers killed in October 2006 and the month isn't over.
Their names have not been released yet, but my heart is with their families.
Why are we still in Iraq?
It can't be because the society has broken down into sectarian violence, or that at one news conference, US military commander in Iraq, Gen George Casey, said Iraqi security forces could assume responsibility for the whole country within 18 months, or the fact that, at another news conference, Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki said that no one had the right to impose a timetable on his government. See the BBC article here for more information.
Saddam Hussein is in his cell, probably having a good laugh at the absolute fools who "liberated" Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction were never there to begin with, that we all know.
I think it boils down to is this: you break it, you bought it. Colin Powell said something similar to GWB.
Now, why are we there? What about Afganistan and the growing Taliban presence that was supposed destroyed?
If you'd like to see the total death toll for all the coalition forces and civilian deaths, the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, is a good place to start. It does not include those who died as a result of lack of decent medical car because either they couldn't get it for some reason because of this conflict. It also has pertinent news.
