The 2,000th Death
The Spokesman for the American led multinational forcecalled on news organizations to look at the 2,000th death as a milestone in the conflict. Lt. Col. Steve Boylan described the figure as an “artificial mark on the wall.”
“I ask that when you report on the events, take a moment to think about the effect it has on the families and those serving in Iraq.” Boylan said in an email. “The 2,000th service member killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives.”
It seems to me that the only artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives are the pro-war characters: Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Rumsfeld, with their financial interests in oil and no-bid contracts for war connected work.
