This is very ho-hum news to most conservatives and Neocons like Chris Shays and Joe Lieberman who are keeping their own military-aged children far away from service in the U.S. military and combat in Iraq. But for Americans who care, July is already the deadliest of the five Julys since the Iraq War began. 66 more young Americans have been killed this month with five days remaining. In the previous four Julys, 54 killed was the highest monthly total.
Again, for those who care about Americans killed and wounded in that pointless conflict, 147 more were wounded last week. 30,598 young Americans have now been killed and wounded "over there."
