Nearly 125 Shot Dead During the Summer.


We either need to pull out immediately, or initiate some sort of Surge.


NO!  Not in Iraq!  In CHICAGO. 


Nearly 125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer

Total Is About Double The Death Toll In Iraq

CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.
In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.

According to the Defense Department, 65 soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.

 In the same time period, an estimated 245 people were shot and wounded in the city.


Will Obama recommend a Surge?  Or should McCain recommend a withdraw out of Chicago entirely?


LOL.


:D

\"According to the Defense Department, 65 soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.\"\r \r Looks to me about 65. And I'm for giving Chicago away to any other state that wants it. Nothing good has come out of that city. Ever.

Dunno man, but:\r \r 1) A failing governing body;\r 2) A failing police-service;\r 3) A failing social-service;\r 4) A failing community;\r 5) Trading fire-arms to the public;\r 6) A failing healthcare-service;\r \r Has nothing to do with soldiers perishing in the line of duty.

Obviously, what is happening in Chicago is all Bush's fault.

Good thing to see the gun control laws there are working. Oh wait only people that respect the law care about those laws.
