4. Thank you. It is bad enough to learn about those who have been killed whom

you don't know, but when it hits this close it makes you realize just how bad it really is over there. When will it be over?

6. TERRIBLE NEWS

We already gave the "bring it" etc on another thread today.

OUT OF RESPECT I ONLY DO IT ONCE A DAY---UNFORTUNATELY LATELY ITS EVERY DAY.

I just don't know what to say.

The sheep are only worried if michael is moving back to neanderland

they could care squat about our children who are being blown to bits by other children avenging the deaths of their parents uncles etc.

THE MADNESS MUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. I am so sorry ...

I know what that family is going through. Our son is in Kirkuk and today when we heard the news, all we could do was try to check the news on the Internet. If you've been reading the reports, you can see how vague they are, not providing any details that would allow you to determine if your son's unit was involved.

Luckily, I was able to get an e-mail from him. He is ok, but could not provide details, only commenting that "it (the attack on Kirkuk) was not the first time and probably wouldn't be the last time."

10. The news link I saw a few minutes ago has today's count at 11.

I guess that's the four from this morning, six from this afternoon, and now this one. I'm not certain, but i thought the four from this morning included someone wounded a day or two ago. But they are saying 11. Lunaville lists 4 for yesterday. That's 15 for two days of May.
