The US death toll in Iraq has hit the 1,000 mark with a further 7000 or so injured!
“The grim milestone follows a surge in fighting and attacks in recent days with more than a dozen US soldiers killed in the last 24 hours alone.”
The number of civilian deaths is believed to be over 11,000.

    Hey Davros!!

    Love the name of the site – first came across this word in association with THE D.P.Moran , my favourite Bogeyman LOL

    I was heading to bed, but ended up ordering yet another book!

    I do wish Slugger was back properly …I’m reduced to roaming sites like BBC Talkback and ATW….

    I wonder is it a bad sign that we’re longing for Sluggers return? We’ll have to take up another hobby.

    Chatting with intelligent people can only be a good thing!

    This is the 81st Anniversary of the Free State joining the League of Nations … I hope you have your flag out ?

    Ta for the link.
    Ever see some of the pictures of the wounded Americans? There’s a lot of maimed young men heading home to the US … a lot of wasted lives I reckon.

    Loved this one… he takes no prisoners.

    Was amused to see Bell has a beard… was talking to a Muslim friend ..if he keeps on at Bush and Blair over Iraq they’ll start suggesting he’s a Muslim 5th columnist ;)
