Soldier, Marine Die in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A soldier was killed Friday by an explosive device, and a Marine was killed a day earlier in a motor vehicle accident during combat operations in central Iraq, the military said.

The One Task Force Liberty soldier was killed near Hawija, 150 miles north of Baghdad.

The Marine, assigned to Regimental Combat Team 8, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, was killed Wednesday in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said in a statement.

No other details were provided.

6. Mean while the world capitalist leaders spent $20 Billion visiting Italy

having drinks of wine, food, saunas, massages... while our children die in Iraq, Afghanistan and while children of the world die of disease, hunger, rape and violence.

9. the worst insult

the traitor, err dictator, took an oath and it did not include placing one faith over all others... as the holy see is a religous leader

I could have understood it, mebbe, if he was American by birth, but this is giving honors reserved to American leaders to a foreign head of state
