Tactically speaking, Apples and oranges. Troup levels again, apples and oranges, but numbers killed on both sides still relevant if we are going to obsess on the numbers and report every death as a national tradgedy to stime the cause or reason why they died. Not for oil as you believe but to remove the oppression and evil that controlled that country, that every Democrat was (before Bush) for getting rid of.

Every "Troop" as you put it, is held to the highest regard for thier and thier families sacrifice. War isn't pretty, nor should it be. It takes boots on the ground to secure your position, not Cruise missles at the touch of a button from thousands of miles away.

What a pitiful argument.
