ELEVEN US Soldiers Killed in Separate Attacks in Iraq Yesterday...

This was reported by Richard Engel on MSRNC. The US Military confirmed it but I can not find a link anywhere with this total. The 5 killed in Baghdad is all I can find. He also said over 200 Iraqis have died in two days.

Damn, I wish this madness would end. :(

edit: MSRNC just updated to eleven from nine.

what about the latest on Natalee? The Murkan public wants 2 know.

honeymoon tragedy ....the bridegroom pushed overboard. look to the wife and her acquaintances (that's my guess).

picked up Nat'lee. Now they are living happily in Jamaica.
(I know this is crass, but wouldn't Nancy Grace's sniffer go wild if it were true).

Given the recent violence in Iraq, do you think the U.S. effort at stabilizing the country will succeed? * 4058 responses


Yes, steps forward like the December election are more significant than the violence.
26%

No, there's a nearly limitless source of insurgents who will keep undermining any progress made.

It is the best worded no answer I have seen in a while.

"last throes."

Frankly I think few people care about the War at all. I'm surprised so many people responded.

thanks for the heads up.

11 U.S. troops killed in escalating Iraq violence

:(

...that's just so fucking sad when you think about it.:(

or we are fighting them there so we don't fight them....

:cry:

No link - Soledad just announced it.

:(

omg... :cry:

says that the war is hopeless, and that the only question is how many names will be put on the memorial wall. When a right-wing jackass like Jay sees the writing on the wall, the war is lost.

It has been an interesting show today.

always an asshat righwing creep. Having wasted some hours listening to that waste of bandwidth when he was the afternoon fascist on boston fm talkradio I can assure you that his occasional lapses into a faux-rationality are deliberately deceptional and very short lived. In the same thought-train he will announce that this war is hopeless and note that it would have been a good idea to nuke baghdad on the off chance that the Iraqis had a few functional mustard gas shells left over from the ones we helped them manufacture back in the day.

Americans aren't paying attention. The "election" has lulled these comatose people into thinking the war is over. All is happy. Big Success. And Bush is great. Until they have a dog in this fight, it will be shopping a the mall as usual.

:sarcasm:

CNN has been 24/7 with the miner story and devotes all of 12 seconds to these dead soldiers. It is a sin.

:(

that the 'miner story' is all about how terrible it was that 'the media got it wrong' and not about how these men were killed by corporate and government malfeasance.

:banghead: I remember way back about 35 years ago when we had a real media. :(

to miner tragedy.

And, of course, the politicians and generals will weep copious crocodile tears over their corpses while sending more to kill and die..for nothing.

Or is he too blitzed out to bother his beautiful mind?

It is time to start drawing down w eare only making it worse and the civil war that is our fault is pretty much unavoidable. The question the world should be asking is how to mitigate the civil war to a low intesity conflict from a far... but hey if people feel like the idea of dealing with this shit for 15 years have at it.

Eleven more of our young dead ,again on a needless war, when will this madness stop ? Three more years of bush ,we cant wait that long ! I pray daily for the young stuck over in Iraq that want to be back home with their families and friends. WAR what is it good for absolutly nothing !

Eleven DEAD while you and yours put on a phony photo op.

safe from trouble and in his bubble he declared "We have dealt a blow to al Qaeda"

variations on a theme -- remember just a year ago they were "...in their last throes" ?

and who can forget "...attacks are a sign of desperation"?

how many more puff and fluff statements will be issued which point to the light at the end of a tunnel????

Life must be grand when you live in a bubble
