Did Rosie watch the show last week on the first responders who are dying because of the terror attack on September 11? She said that at least 25,000 first responders have respiratory conditions that are destroying their lives, leading to disability and premature death. In addition to the first responders, their families are also being destroyed.
Now today she claims that we should be out of Iraq because there have been more soldiers killed in Iraq than were killed by the terrorists:
***
Rosie: How many more years? How many more dead kids? It’s way over the amount of people killed on September 11th. We’ve killed more Americans than any terrorist ever did in this war
***
This is truly unbelievable. I think she might be quoting media reports that the U.S. death toll in Iraq is now 2974. The official number of people murdered by the terrorists on September 11th is 2973 people.
The terrorists are not only responsible for killing the innocent people on September 11th,
THE TERRORISTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ AND ALL OF THE RESULTING DEATHS!
To say that the United States has killed the 2974 soldiers who have lost their lives is irresponsible, insensitive and just plain ignorant.
And by the way, if the measuring stick to determine whether too many people have died in the war is linked to how many people were killed by the terrorists because of September 11, then don’t forget about all of those first responders dying slowly.
Rosie really is ridiculous.
