3. There were two others killed as well.

Thanks for the welcome, Angel.

I think Bush's so-called bump in the polls is due, in part, to a lack of reporting of the 19 Army and Marine casualties since June 6 because the press was so busy reporting on Reagan's death on June 5.

2. Typical CNN headline: "The Struggle for Iraq"

I guess there isn't anything intelligent you could call it

5. This breaks my heart

Someone like Bush will never feel the emptiness this man's family will now live with for the rest of their lives. I wonder how Bush can even look at himself in the mirror on Father's Day, bearing the knowledge of the hundreds of fatherless children resulting from his actions.

6. damn damn damn

He was a Reservist, there almost 18 months. He was supposed to be home if not for dumya's forced extensions.

"The unit left in February 2003 during the buildup to the war in Iraq, and its return home was planned and delayed twice before. A homecoming parade for the soldiers of the 351st was planned Thursday."
