KOS puts it succinctly (snippet):

Don't look now, but 51 soldiers have died this month thanks to Bush's folly. That's the third bloodiest month in Iraq since the war ended, and that's assuming no more of our boys get hit today. 300 wounded as well. Fact is, things are not getting better. The five we lost last night brought us to a sad milestone -- 600 dead Americans, while Bush makes jokes about not finding weapons of mass destruction. It's all a big f*cking joke to our president. Another milestone -- 701 total dead allied forces. And as for civilians, nobody deems it worth to count them. Their lives have no apparent worth.
