As of Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008, at least 3,935 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes eight military civilians. At least 3,200 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.

SO WHY ARE THESE CANDIDATES SMILING?

EACH CANDIDATE HAS PROMISED TO STOP THE WAR, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM, HAS SAID HOW THEY WILL DO IT.

IF YOU ARE AT A RALLY AND GET THE OPPORTUNITY... ASK THEM!
