Seven Invisible U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq

Don't get carried away by the mainstream media coverage of the Democrat concerns about troops in Iraq.

You would think that mass U.S. casualties at the height of the
'debate' over Iraq withdrawal would be big news. But despite the
hoopla, the New York Times very carefully glossed over the deaths of
seven more U.S. soldiers in Iraq over the weekend.

The sniveling dissemblers in the NYT had the chutzpah to cover it up
by writing that seven "foreign soldiers" had been killed. I wonder
which country they mostly came from, eh? Go on, have a guess....

In fact, six were U.S. soldiers and one was a British soldier killed
in the south of Iraq. Another U.S. soldier died of injuries on Sunday.

So, for the record, here are the official details of these invisible
soldiers' deaths:

*BAIJI - Five U.S soldiers were killed and five were wounded on Saturday in two makeshift roadside bomb attacks on a patrol in Baiji, 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S military said in a statement.

*HADITHA - A U.S. Marine was killed on Saturday when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in the city of Haditha, 220 km (140 miles) northwest Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement.

*AL-KARMAH - A U.S. Marine died on Sunday from gunshot wounds received on Saturday in the town of al-Karmah, the U.S military said in a statement. Karmah lies 15 km (10 miles) west of Baghdad in the volatile Sunni Arab province of Anbar, a haven for local insurgents and foreign militants.

"In all, at least 155 Iraqis and 7 foreign soldiers have been killed in a spate of bombings and assaults that began Friday morning, when jihadists tried using two trucks packed with explosives to demolish a Baghdad hotel full of Western journalists."

All those "victories" that the politicians and the Pentagon are so proud of are getting a bit expensive in lives.

Did you say something after that? I didn't notice.

...it give's you something to bitch about, so the day's not entirely a waste.

:)

Seriously, though, it drives me crazy. Sorry to be snarky about it.

It's just convenience of expression. Brevity Rules. OK.

Democrats like Tom DeLay does. It's more important than you think.

this administration is only concerned with staying the course.
