It's a Number

William Rivers Pitt, writing for Truthout, says: "White House press secretary Tony Snow, the third man to hold that post in the Bush administration since 2001, began the June 15, 2006, noon press briefing with a few prepared remarks before opening the floor to questions from the assembled crowd of reporters. The first to speak noted, 'American deaths in Iraq have reached 2,500,' before asking, 'Is there any response or reaction from the president on that?' 'It's a number,' replied Snow, 'and every time there's one of these 500 benchmarks people want something.'"
