I JUST HEARD IT!

On NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams--the opening story: American death toll in Iraq reaches 4000. In Brian's self-righteous words, "...in this war which has has gone on longer than World War Two".

Just to gain some perspective, in World War 2, most sources say that the American casualties were the following:
406,000 killed (including 6,000 merchant marine civilians)
600,000 Wounded
5,600 American civilians where killed in this war, mostly of them Merchant Marine Sailors that died in convoy wars, and ammo accidents.
(source:WikiAnswers.com)

4000 American dead is nothing to be overlooked, and Bless God for the willingness of the patriots who are sacrificially defending all of the rest of us in Iraq. But the hyperbolizing media wags play upon the consciousness of an increasingly ignorant viewing (and voting) public that takes such statements as having some meaningful significance.

Brian--of all of the talking heads in the drive-by media, you are one of my favorites. But tonight you have sunk to the level of the "Comrade Katie"'s who will say anything to make a political point. I'm ashamed of you.
