Tuesday bloody tuesday

It was reported on Tuesday, October 25th, that 2000 American soldiers have now died in Iraq. Although this milestone may be arbitrary, it is an alarming number. James Carafano, a former lieutenant colonel made politic pundit, has said that, "It's still an incredibly low number that doesn't even equal the number of casualties we had on D-day." He then said, "and as we learned from D-Day, we can greatly reduce the number of deaths by training all of our soldiers in Iraq to be more like Tom Hanks."
