MSM gouls celebrate our war dead again

While we are seeing real success in Iraq - and make no mistake the plan is working, the MSM camps on yet another of their "milestones", playing again their "doom and gloom, we suck" script.

Pentagon: U.S. death toll in Iraq reaches 2,500.

Three years into a war where we deposed a tyrant and established a new democracy, 2500 is a small number in comparison to that of other conflicts at their respective three-year points. For example via info please:
