In September we announced that Bush�s �War on Terror� had killed more Americans than Bin Laden�s war on America, officially making George W. Bush the world�s top terrorist. Today, the number of American deaths in Iraq alone exceeded the 9/11 figure without factoring in American casualties who died in Afghanistan. These numbers are fairly sobering when you take into account that Bush and Secretary Gates are planning on sending more American troops into Iraq. And that’s all we see - the numbers (when we see any at all).
