Why the counter on the Iraq war?

Wondering what the counter is there for? I thought this was a fishiing site! Deleting my profile now, don't need this stuff. Good fishing to all!

The counter is a fact.  Since when do we Americans, not want to know the facts?

Counter is fine with me.

I don't mind the counter, but I would like to see it speed up some. As a tax payer I like to see my dollars at work. I would rather spend the money now than pass this problem on to the next generation.

I would accept a tax increase if was going to wards the war effort, but I would like to see a few rules of engagement changed, to give our troops the advantage they need.

I would rather my money go to rebuild religious relics, than spend it on more troops and logistics, only to have these insurgents take shelter in a mosque, and kill our soldiers indiscriminately. Whats the cost of a building compared to an American soldier? Destroy the buildings and those in them would be my doctrine.

I would rather support a general who practiced the same tactics as General Sherman, who knew how to fight a war, and drain the enemies desire to continue.

Sherman knew all to well, the horrors of war, but more importantly he knew how to end them.

Would seem to me with a name like "Chainsaw" he could appreciate money spent on guns and ammo
