Bodies 'of US Iraq workers' found

Four bodies, reported to be those of US contractors missing since an ambush on their fuel convoy last week, have been found west of Baghdad.

Two US soldiers and seven civilian employees of US oil firm Kellogg, Brown and Root are still missing after the attack on Friday.

NBC News said the bodies were those of some of the missing men, but this has not been confirmed by US officials.

US officials said the families of the missing men had been told of the find.

2. That's pretty cold...although I do feel for the families...i must agree

that one is responsible for one's choices...other employees of KBR and Halliburton decided that the cost was too high and decided to quit and leave the area.

Just more death and heartache for families of loved ones. We all bleed and hope we will be liberated in November. ;(

3. More 'contractors' ?

Regardless, they're doing the bidding of the war-profiteering mongers at BFEE, Inc.

The only thing that it sacred to that bunch of crooks is the dollar.

6. I just heard on CNN that Halliburton has asked the

families not to talk to the media.

Why the hell not?

5. I Too Agree

I got in a raging debate with a military jock sniffer here about choices. His point support the President at all costs

My point, if you join the service in 2 years and you joined just to kill, and if this shit is still going on, why should I feel sorry for those whose luck ran out---

and in the cases of the mercenaries, too bad so sad. Some of them make $1500.00 per day. They could stay at home for $500.00 a day, and do something good like protecting the public here but they choose to be Killers in an illegal war.

No one sent them there

Let the FLAMING Begin!!!!!!!!!!
