I was at Blazing Indiscretions when I saw the Iraq Casualty estimate graphic.
Sigh.
Over 1.3 million Iraqis have been killed in an illegal war that is damaging our economy and decimating theirs. Can we really be satisfied with Obama's proposal for a partial withdrawal in 16 months?
The organization behind the estimate, Just Foreign Policy, has a lot of excellent Action Alert items on their home page. They are an important activist's resource.

Over 1.3 million Iraqis have been killed ...
What an evil tragedy our country has wrought!
No, we cannot be satisfied, but be advised that no solution to social malaise will come from mainstream politics. It is engineered specifically to bolster the status quo, from which it is nourished.
We must push.
I have linked to your blog on Get Off This! Wondering if you caught this:

1.3 million is the size of a city as large as San Antonio, TX.
This is truly stunning and I can't quite wrap my brain around it.
Bush, Cheney, and all the Senators (including Hillary Clinton and DiFi) who voted to give Bush the authority to go to war in Iraq have blood under their fingers.
I agree with you, GLH, Barry can't be allowed to slide on his promise to end this occupation.
