All for a wimp

It just keeps getting worse and worse in Iraq. Not only are the Iraqis getting killed at the rate of about 100 a day, but now the death rate for our own troups is rising rapidly. It used to be about 2 per day or less. This month it's almost four per day, and yesterday there were nine more killed. It's hard to know what to say. All these deaths just to prove Bush isn't a wimp, and yet everyone still knows he's a wimp.
