In today’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Tony Snow got asked about the 2,500 mark for American’s KIA in Irag. Maybe his response will surprise you…sadly, it does not surprise me.

QUESTION: Tony, American deaths in Iraq have reached 2,500. Is there any response or reaction from the President on that?

SNOW: It’s a number. And every time there’s one of these 500 benchmarks, people want something.

So there you have it, Herr Decider’s opinion of the American soldiers serving in Iraq.
