Memo to America:
This just in:
The Pentagon reported today that at least 1000 U.S. troops have been wounded in Iraq. Combine that with more than 200 killed and you have casualties of 1200 soldiers. This is in only roughly four months of combat. You don't have to do the math that these kinds of losses can not continue. Even if the numbers are halved during the next six months, it still represents a lot of casualities. Maybe if folks had been patient like they ask us to be now that the situation may have turned out better. If nothing else, having other nations and other troops besides Britain would have definitely improved our soldiers survivability. Overwhelming force with many nations participating was the only tenable strategy, but the cowboys couldn't wait. The next time that you see a replay of the "hot dog" landing on the aircraft carrier and strutting around in his flight suit think about the number of killed and wounded soldiers that made it all possible!
