101: Nos. of Dead Troops in Iraq in October
Complete post here
The American death toll for October climbed past 100, a grim milestone as a White House envoy turned up unexpectedly in Baghdad on Monday following a rough patch in U.S.-Iraqi ties. At least 81 people were killed across Iraq, including 33 in a bombing targeting workers. A member of the 89th Military Police Brigade was killed in east Baghdad on Monday, and a Marine died in fighting in insurgent-plagued Anbar province the day before, raising to 101 the number of U.S. service members killed in a bloody October, the fourth deadliest month of the war. At least 2,814 American forces have died since the war began in March 2003.
DFO: I'm beginning to think that we're nearing the point of insanity by asking our troops to keep taking dying at the rate of 2 or 3 per day without any end in sight to the Iraqi internal fighting.
Question: I know where the Left stands on this one. But how about others in the middle or right? Is Iraq a lost cause?
