Coulter Calls for More Casualties, Shorter Ramadan

ARMY OF ONE Coulter How deeply does Ann Coulter believe in the Iraq War? So deeply she's willing to write off the lives of another 3,000 Americans she doesn't know just to prove it. Or so the conservative x-ray suggests in her latest syndicated screed.
"If absolutely nothing changed in Iraq over the next few years—if it didn't continue to get better and if the savages never lost heart (I'm assuming they subscribe to 'TimesSelect')—by 2010, 6,000 brave American troops will have died to prevent another 9/11 terrorist attack on American soil for a decade," Coulter writes. "If that's a war Americans think we're 'losing,' Osama bin Laden was right: We are a paper tiger."
Coulter blames the perception that the U.S. is losing in Iraq on—you guessed it!—a liberal "conspiracy," rather than on, say, the devastating report issued by the Iraq Study Group, or incoming Republican Secretary of Defense Robert "We are not winning" Gates.
