And what would their answer be if, as in the case of the last 'bloodless' 
Iraq war, 100,000 U.S. troops returned showing symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome, 
including fast-moving cancers and general physical breakdowns.  100,000 is 
the number I remember registering after the VA said they'd recognize Gulf War 
Syndrome--perhaps this included family members.  If the dems wanted to stop 
this, which I doubt, they'd be asking the Bush admin. to come up with a U.S. 
casualty count for Bush I's Gulf War I.
