We Passed Another Benchmark... Over 1500 Soldiers are Dead

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq rose to 1,500 after the military announced Thursday that a soldier was killed in action just south of the capital, an Associated Press count showed.

Okay, so please remind me, why have over 1500 died & over 14,000 been wounded? Check this out from Feb. 2001 from the esteemed Colin Powell:
". . . the sanctions exist -- not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq...
So much needless bloodshed... let's pray for this insanity to end and for the Lying Liars to be impeached.
