Yes, the thousandth US soldier killed today.
Swami: Frank, tell him what he has won.
Frank: Well, Swami, he has won an all-expense paid trip to eternity plus a gen-u-wine American flag to be placed on his casket.
Swami: Wow! That is something. Anything else?
Frank: Well he goes to his rest in the knowledge that he has helped to make the world more secure for Halliburton and made millions for Cheney. What more could any young man dream of?
Swami: ....?

I declare shennanigans........it wasn't the 1000th US soldier, it was the 1000th coalition soldier. And according to this link, it wasn't the 1000th yet, its only at 998, but it may not have been updated.

Oh... well, if it's only 998 soldiers dead, then that's totally different.

It's called sarcasm...one of swami's favorite things to play with
In case you need it:
Main Entry: sar?casm Pronunciation: 's?r-"ka-z&m Function: noun Etymology: French or Late Latin; French sarcasme, from Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut 1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain 2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm

You're link proves Swami wrong. he claimed 1000 dead US soldiers. Your link shows 880.
Thanks though for exposing yet more hyperbole.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

No Shit.
No Shit adv. no1 v. shit
1. Used to express disdain for something deemed stupid or obvious, especially a self-evident remark. 2. Really, do you mean it, as in You took her to a prizefight? No shit! This vulgar slangy interjection is used to express surprise, disbelief, or scornful acknowledgment of the obvious.
