2500

2500 US military dead as a result of the Iraq war.

18,490 wounded

'Tens of thousands' of Iraqis killed.

$3,100 per second spent.

And, shamefully, the Pentagon has a book full of talking points to keep this war going.

The Pentagon armed congressional supporters of the Iraq war with an unusual "debate prep book" on Thursday, packed with ready-made rebuttals to criticism of a conflict that has now claimed the lives of 2,500 U.S. troops.
[...]
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the 74-page document. It was sent to both Republicans and Democrats and it laid out the administration's positions in strong terms and offered page after page of counterpoints to criticisms that Democrats typically level against President Bush's war policies.

Shameful. Shameful. Shameful.

Join me in the thread below as I listen to the debate in the House today.
