And the Deaths Go on

Thus far this month 14 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq. This is the highest number since June 2008 when 23 of our troops were killed. These are but some of the human costs of our continuing to stay in Iraq. How many of our soldiers have been wounded this month? What is the financial cost of June 2011?

Of course, our leaders can tell us the benefits that have been achieved for these costs.
