I really prefer the information as collated and appearing in silence (regularly as confimed and release by DOD), on the Nightly News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS and looked online there to see if could pick it up, but no luck, it gives picture, age, hometown etc. - you can get some of that off the DOD site but not all.

This is the terrible price of voting into power a politician that plays the politcal game at any cost.

What’s it cost bush? This Connecticut Silver Spoon Baby is still playing cowboy in Crawford, it ain’t cost him nor his cohorts anything. They don’t care about the Republicans or the Democrats, all they concern themselves with is the question of whether or not their money will help them get into heaven and can they really get Jeb elected in 08.
Our troops have performed miraculously through the fog of both war and politics. They are valiantly doing what bush, cheney and their like would never do, confront their enemies face to face. The price referred too above will be devastating, generational and paid with the blood of some of our best citizens, but not by bush or cheney. They will be Reaganized by the right and some of the media. It will be a generation before the historians accurately reflect the true cost to our nation by the presidencies of Reagan and double Bush Combo.

Some lyrics that will be even more aprpro if this war continues:

(earlier era, circa 1956 Pete Seeger, so some posters here won't know the score)

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
