> Can you imagine if POG gets to $400 on Sunday?! Number of US servicemen killed in Eyerak reached 400 today. Strange coincidence! antiwar.com >>>A 1st Armored Division soldier died of wounds received when the convoy in which the soldier was riding struck an improvised explosive device (IED) approximately 8:20 a.m., Nov. 14, near central Baghdad. The convoy was conducting a mounted patrol when it struck the IED. The deceased soldier was medically evacuated to the 28th Combat Support Hospital, along with two other soldiers who received shrapnel wounds. At the 28th CSH, the soldier died of wounds this evening. This death brings the US total to 400. As reported elsewhere, the death toll has surpassed that of the first three years of Vietnam and with Bush's recent pronouncement that US troops would remain in Iraq until they capture or kill the "evildoers," it is clear the that list of dead will only continue to increase. "We are not pulling out until the job is done – period," Mr Bush said.<<< Come to think about it, I wonder why they don't publish fictitious figures for the number of US servicemen killed, in the same way as they publish fictitious figures for virtually everything else?
