Who's Counting?
Two thousand plus killed in Iraq. Eighty killed in November. Killed in Iraq! How many of the wounded sent to hospitals in Germany: England: France: The United States and elsewhere have died from wounds suffered in Iraq? Who's counting? Someone should be but they are not telling the American People and we know that they wouldn't lie to us, right! The media must and should be asking for these figures but then again. Who's Counting?

How many Service personnel are there who will have permanent mental and physical disabilities? The media should be asking. Who's Counting? The President and his staff told us stories like the rescue of Jessica. A heavily armed team breaking into a hospital for the rescue. In reality, an Iraq doctor realizes the hospital he works in has a wounded soldier. He notifies the American Embassy then leads them to her. The hospital releases her to the military. There we no enemy troops holding her hostage. Where is she now and what is her story Where is the media now. Another story not covered. Who's Counting.

The Tillman story. Killed in action engaging the enemy. The poor parents, so used by the Military, The NFL using The fallen serviceman. American people believing "a story". Then the truth comes out. Killed by "Friendly Fire" there is no such thing as friendly fire. I have never seen anyone being friendly while firing at some one else. Have you? Where was the apology that should have come from these lies? Like so many other things. Who's Counting?

The media should be covering stories on wounded personnel being rehabilitated. The physical therapy the maimed must be taught. The cries of pain, the tears of being afraid of the future. How to use artificial limbs to walk or hold on to a loved one. To speak again and be able to say I love you to a dear one. Knowing now that you must use someone else's eyes to see the world that is now dark for you.. Showing flag draped coffins that represents a person. That person had family but I guess nobody cares. Who's Counting?. Brave young men and women who believed that they were right, who believed the lies who are great Americans.

Not supporting the war is not saying that we don't support our troops, we do. We just want our government to tell us the truth. The media should be asking for the truth and reporting it. How many times must we ask. Who's Counting?

Only twenty three suicide attacks in Iraq in November. Only twenty three. How many car bombings did we have before Re-patriarchs? Who's Counting? The media should be.

Fox network reported that we are winning the war. Two Thousand plus KILLED FOR OIL and spite. I'm better than you Daddy! Winning the war? I think it's called sacrificing innocent people, ours and theirs. We have become occupiers, not Liberators. That's what I see FROM MY SIDE OF THE ROOM. Charlie
