Thanks, Israel, for another conflict we absolutely needed to be a part of... warfighting like its 2001.

(3,392 posts)Where I think back to the constitutional order albeit often outlaw Bush administration.
"Thousands of Americans killed" is a matter of time and perverse commitment. If the GOP administration has the desire to project neoconservative force again, those propaganda reports could easily become reality.
I don't think the GOP, and certainly not the modern Democratic party, have the will to sustain a war overseas when populist and isolationist impulses weigh heavy.
But, PeaceWave, you are right. Still not good. Could get worse. My faith is diminished.

(22,582 posts)When I went to Reuters, the lead article was the Pentagon announcement of casualties. Normally, such posts include an excerpt of the article.

(22,582 posts)But with all of the propaganda of casualty totals being concealed, the lack of providing the source of the figures seems remiss. Almost intentional.
DU should be above falsehood. There was a time we werw proud to be fact based. Republicans will provide adequate material to point out the ineptitude of this administration.
