Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet?

The left and the mainstream press can hardly wait for the 2000th combat death in Iraq. It's very close now. Al Reuters reports.

Perhaps that 2000th death will happen today, so that Democrtats won't have to suffer too much over this news.

Woohoo! Happy days at DNC Headquarters.

Minutes after the 2000th death was reported, the Democratic National Committee issued a news release calling the announcement a “tragic milestone.”

The Senate scheduled a moment of silence on the Senate floor, led by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., honoring fallen soldiers.

“Today, our nation marks one of the saddest days of the war in Iraq,” committee chairman Howard Dean said in the news release. “Each soldier lost on the battlefield leaves behind a family forever marked by tragedy, and scarred with grief. ...Today, we are united in reflecting on the suffering and sacrifice of the brave men and women in uniform and their families.”
