1000 on 9/11?

It occurred to me late last night that in a few days we will mark the third anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Wouldn't it be ironic if on the same day that we recall the lives of nearly 3,000 people, someone becomes the 1,000th American soldier to die in Bush's "catastrophic success"? Over a third of the number killed by al Qaeda have been killed by the wayward policies of George Bush and company.

In all, that would make 4,000 Americans lives lost on George Bush's watch -- almost 3,000 people put in harm's way by ignoring Richard Clarke (and the August 6th PDB); 1,000 put in harm's way for no reason related to what happened on September 11.
