CNN.com: "Marine copter crash kills 4 in California"

You can add these 4 poor souls to Shrub's victims! Rest in peace.

(CNN) -- Four U.S. Marines were killed Thursday night when the Marine helicopter they were riding in crashed in Camp Pendleton in California, a military spokesman said.

The UH-1 Huey crashed around 7 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) in the northwest corner of the base, said Maj. T.V. Johnson of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

Investigators are looking into whether the helicopter hit power lines, said Capt. Shawn Turner, a Marine Corps spokesman in Washington.

Camp Pendleton is about 35 miles north of downtown San Diego.

2. How are they Shrub's victims?

I don't like the guy any more than anyone else here, but how is he at fault for a helicopter crash in California?

Just asking.

I would like to tell you how close to home this is hitting. But it's not about me or my family. I am freaking out.

A lot of the folks at Pendleton were done w/ the reserves last year.

I bet that pilot (if a reservist) would not have got called back if Bush had not had a hard-on for Iraq.

Son of a BITCH! I am freaking out. I have to know if my relative is safe but I can't call his wife because she will freak out too.
