American Dead in Iraq Passes 3,000

The war goes. Our military has lost 2,859 American lives in Iraq. If we add the 144 American contractors who have died, it comes to 3,003 Americans who have died for reasons that President Bush has yet to explain properly to the American people. There are signs that Bush still refuses to confront his blunders, that he is determined to leave his fiasco for the next president. Members of the new Congress clearly have their work cut out for them.
