U.S. casualties have reached 1033. Total coalition casualties = 1168. ("Editor's" Note, 09.20.04: It looks like I'm going to have to keep updating these figures, almost daily. 32 more U.S. casualties since my original post two weeks ago. This is not good. Not good at all.)
"Each day to facilitate the process by which the United States washes her hands of Vietnam someone has to give up his life so that the United States doesn't have to admit something that the entire world already knows, so that we can't say that we have made a mistake. Someone has to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, "the first President to lose a war."
We are asking Americans to think about that because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
-John Kerry, 1971
"Of all the wrong choices that President Bush has made, the most catastrophic choice is the mess that he has made in Iraq. This was his choice. He chose the date of the start of this war. He chose the moment and he chose for America to go it alone -- and today all of America is paying the price."
-John Kerry, 2004
