Wish the Presidential candidates would talk more about ending the War in Iraq. The Pentagon officially reported 72,043 battlefield casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan through Jan. 5, 2008. In addition, VA hospitals and clinics have treated 263,909 unplanned patients from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. On top of that, VA reported 245,034 disability claims from veterans of the two wars. Those are some of the disturbing new statistics released by the group Veterans for Common Sense, which gathered that data through use of the Freedom of Information Act (typical of the rest of its secrecy, the Bush Administration doesn't just release this information to the public as a matter of course). That concealment is the latest example of the Bush Administration's downplaying of the true cost of the Iraq War. Remember, the President initially refused to make public photos of fallen soldiers returning home in flag-draped coffins at Dover Air Force Base. warcomeshome.org Pacifica radio network reporter Aaron Glantz is author of the new book "How America Lost Iraq" (Tarcher/Penguin).

You are locked into a never ending cycle of wars. you offer your kids to die so you can maintain your jobs in those war making jobs America today is the biggest global seller of war products ,it maintains 756 bases around the world. trillions of dollar spent on the war industrial complex while at home places like Cleveland have 70% of their housing vacant appearing more bombed out than Hiroshima circa 1946. 50 trillion in liabilities a debt America can not pay back to itself the SS pension system about to collapse all the banks about to collapse so as to make way for the north American merger and the end of the constitution it appears like America is Rome with the Barbarians at the gates while all the Christian minister too fearful they will lose their Govt. hand full of cash to speak out. Like the money changers in the temple, Jesus came upon. He will upset their tables in due time so ends the nation founded on Christian principles and of freedoms smile wave your flags bend over and take it like a man live by the sword die by the sword Russia now surrounded by America brandishes 400 mega ton bombs the economy is shaken the only way is forward may god have mercy on the bomb makers by
