The DOD has updated its information on those injured in Iraq. There have now been 22,562 Americans injured with 12,458 returned to duty within three days and 10,107 not being able to go back to their units for at least 72 hours. That makes 644 Americans injured this month in Iraq. The numbers continue to mount with now almost 50,000 Americans either killed, injured, or affected by diseases in Iraq. Remember all of these as you prepare to celebrate the beginning of a new year.

To put this in perspective, the number of people killed on 9/11 was 2,973....

........or 26 less than the number of Americans who have died in Iraq. I hope that this is the only update to the DOD list today.

**EDIT: There is still a chance that the number could go over 3,000 today as this list does typically not list additions until the next day. I hope that won't happen today.
Happy New Year.
Im not sure who makes it number 3000, there were three deaths on the 30th listed yesterday and one of them.....will become known....as number 3000.
Ale, I do notice the list will change during the day, or night. Ive had my eye on it and have seen the numbers change often, recently.
Ok, I see what they did....it wasnt anyone dead on Dec 30....they did confirm a death from Dec 28th.

Spc. Dustin R. Donica, 22, of Spring, Texas, was killed Thursday by small arms fire in Baghdad, the Defense Department said.
Dustin R. Donica, your name will live on, infamously, whether you wanted that or not.
22years old and number 3000.
I've been so many places in my life and time,
I've sung a lot of songs,
I've made some bad rhyme,
I've acted out my life in stages,
with ten thousand people watching,
but we're alone now,
and I'm singing this song for you.
You taught me precious secrets of the truth
with holding nothing,
you came out in front when I was hiding,
but now I'm so much better,
and if my words don't come together,
listen to the melody, cause my love is in
there hiding.
I love you in a place where there's no space
or time,
I love you for my life,
you are a friend of mine,
and when my life is over,
remember when we were together,
we were alone
and I was singing this song for you.
We were alone and I was singing this song

I knew this was going to happen today even though I kept hoping against hope. Death number 3,000 needs to be reported widely and loudly, even though many will just decry that deed as just so much whining on the part of those radical fringe lefties. All Americans deserve to know just how heavy the toll is that has been levied on our country; even though this is only part of the story as we all know. I observed a moment of silence in reflection when I read this and will undoubtedly do so again later.

Even so, the steadily mounting toll underscores the relentless violence that the massive U.S. investment in lives and money — surpassing $350 billion — has yet to tame, and may in fact still be getting worse.

“Last year, America continued its mission to fight and win the war on terror and promote liberty as an alternative to tyranny and despair,” Bush said in the statement released from his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he and first lady Laura Bush are spending New Year’s Eve with friends.
“In the New Year, we will remain on the offensive against the enemies of freedom, advance the security of our country, and work toward a free and unified Iraq,” he said. “Defeating terrorists and extremists is the challenge of our time, and we will answer history’s call with confidence and fight for liberty without wavering.”

Once and for all, I would like the White House to admit that Iraq didn't attack us, EVER!

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the grand coulee dam to the capitol.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe
I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now i'm finally free,
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me.
You'll never know the hurt i suffered nor the pain i rise above,
And i'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love,
And it makes me feel so sorry.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

There have now been 22,614 Americans injured in Iraq with 12572 of them returning to duty within three days of injury while 10142 had to be held off duty for at least 72 hours. A very large percentage of those staying off duty for at least three days were taken out of the country, although we don't have numbers on that as Landstuhl AFB in Germany does not give out those figures. 57 of the 164 injured last week fall into the greater than 72 hours category. As usual, my prayers are with these and their families.
thanks.

It is ironic that insane violence was responsible for ending the life of such a man. He was truly a man for the ages. (MLK, although j_dogg82 is a man for the ages of this board).

Dare we say that there have been two days in a row with no new listings? It has been a while since this has occurred. I pray that we are able to put together a string of many more days like this.

US Army Sends Letter To Re-enlist Dead and Wounded Soldiers
Posted on Saturday, January 06, 2007 @ 2:35 PM CST by admin
The US Army mistakenly sent letters to apparently 275 soliders where they invited them to re-enlist for military services, the US military issued in a statement on Friday.
The letter was sent to over 5,100 retired officers at the end of December, and for some reason the database that was used included the names of more than 75 families of deceased officers and 200 families of wounded officers according to the statement.
"Unfortunately, the database used to address those letters contained names of officers who were killed in action or wounded," the Army said. "Army personnel officials are contacting those officers' families now to personally apologize for erroneously sending the letters."
Well the Army kindly apologized for the mistake to all the families who had received the letter. Since then, they have said that the database has been updated removing those names.

Actually, Rain, I haven't seen any comments of American deaths today on any of the other sites that I normally visit and read reports before they are posted to the DOD site (antiwar.com, buzzflash, guardian, UPI, Reuters, etc). For the time being, I will rejoice over the two days of no new listings and hope that I can say the same tomorrow at this time. Other parts of icasualties have been updated today, so unless the DOD is holding back for some reason, I will continue to check back there periodically; as I know you will.
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now i'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption i can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey i know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh thunder road, sit tight take hold
Thunder road

Here is an update from Jeremiah's local paper. As noted in the article3, he lives on through his generous donation of organs for transplant. I am sure his wife is very proud of him and will rest easier knowing that his sacrifice ended up helping others. There is also a Christmas greeting that he made at the link site.

Two more names are added today and four of the previously listed are confirmed. Bush announced today that he will be making his "new direction forward" speech on Wednesday at 9:00 pm EST today. All indications are that he will formally announce his plan to "surge" (escalate) more troops into Iraq in order to quell the violence in and around Baghdad. Time to up the ante and make more like Jeremiah Johnson more vulnerable.

The other day Rainwater commented that she didn't think the DOD site had been updated in a couple of days and I remarked that I hadn't heard of any deaths over that period on other web sites. Sure enough the next update contained listings on those days. I hate to be a pessimist bit I think the same thing may be happening today. There has been an battle going on in downtown Baghdad involving "up to" 400 American forces which has been described as intensive. It had been stated that this battle lasted over 10 hours so I am sure that there will be American casualties involved. I also heard that the 3rd Stryker Brigade headquarted at Ft. Lewis, WA was the primary unit involved so I really don't want to see any casualty reports. All I can do is my usual: Pray that all of our forces are safe and return home uninjured and (as we used to say in Boy Scouts) in better condition than when they left.
there must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"there's too much confusion, i can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"no reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.

Two more have been added to the list today. I read in this morning's paper that there were no American or Iraqi security forces casualties in the 10+ hour battle in downtown Baghdad yesteray. While I am certainly glad to hear that, I don't know whether I totally believe it or not. Ten plus hours is a long time for 400 Americans and 500 Iraqi security forces to be in a heated exchange of gunfire and not sustain any loss of life or injury. I guess we will just have to wait and observe the postings over the next few days and see for sure.

Lights out tonight,
Trouble in the heartland,
Got a head on collision,
Smashin' in my guts, man,
I'm caught in a cross fire,
That I don't understand,
I don't give a damn,
for the same old played out scenes,
I don't give a damn,
for just the in betweens,
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul,
I want control right now
Talk about a dream,
try to make it real
You wake up in the night,
with a fear so real,
Spend your life waiting,
for a moment that just don't come,
Well, don't waste your time waiting,
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood,
and these badlands start treating us good.

We now have a total of 22,834 Americans injured in Iraq with 12,643 of them returned to duty within 72 hours while 10,191 have been held off duty for at least three days, a large number of those requiring transport and treatment out of Iraq. Beyond this there have been 6,640 Americans injured by non-hostile causes, 18,183 requiring air transport because of diseases contracted in Iraq. This brings us to a total of 47,657 nonfatal injuries and injected by disease in Iraq so far.

There have been no new listings today, which I am definitely happy about. I also noticed that the Afghanistan listings have not had any new deaths or injuries listed and that site hasn't been updated since December 2, 2006. While I know there is less action in Afghanistan, I don't think that it is safe to say that there have not been any injuries in that theater of operations. Does anybody have any newer information than they post at http://www.icasualties.org/oef/
There have been no further additions to this list since 1/9/07. With today being 1/14, that makes a record for the time that I have been monitoring the DOD listings. They have also confirmed one more death so I will post that now. Let's just hope that this string of unposted days lasts!

I knew it was too good to be true. Two more added with no more confirmed. Our five day run without additions comes to an end. Make that three day run since they posted one with yesterday's date.
All fatalities with active DOD links have been confirmed by The Department of Defense.

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
So get it right
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There never was there an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There never was there an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

She stands on the banks of the mighty mississippi
Holding a lantern light
Waitin' for a man who's a riverboat gambler
He said he'd return tonight
Evangeline, evangeline, curses the soul of the mississippi queen
That pulled her man away

I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity
if you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumblng down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
