ELEVEN fucking US soldiers killed today???
Edited on Fri Jan-06-06 05:43 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Jan. 6) - The U.S. military said Friday that six more American troops died in the recent surge of violence in Iraq, bringing to 11 the number of U.S. troops slain on the same day.



"Things are going better than the liberal media reporting"

What a clusterfuck.

3. I think it was eleven, all yesterday, but I could be wrong. They
seem to be making the reports on deaths harder to add up.

5. That is the way I understood it too
I heard on Imus this morning that yesterday's total dead was updated from 7 to 11. Or from 9 to 11, depending on who was reporting. I haven't heard of any deaths from today -- let's hope it stays that way.

4. Every time
I see the words "liberal media" I feel the urge to headbutt someone. (If you do it right it's really enjoyable.)

6. Let's not call them 'fucking' US Soldiers
I agree with your sentiment and understand the outrage you were trying to convey. But, out of respect for these soldiers and their families, the 'fucking' in your title is not appropriate.

Now, if you were talking about the commander in chief.....

18. Anywhere you put the "fucking" it can confuse some people.
Were they killed while fucking? Probably the best way to phrase it would be "soldiers killed-fucking US" but then it could be Iraqi soldiers or Polish soldiers "DON'T FORGET POLAND." It is probably best just not to use "killed" and "fucking" in the same setence when you are talking about literal death, although "your jokes fucking kill me" is still okay.

I bet the Iraqis, though, among themselves use the Arabic equivalent and say things like "I just killed 5 fucking American soldiers with my IED."

7. Here is a link to that story
It is an AP wire story -- http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=nation_world&id=3789059


...A U.S. Marine and soldier died in Thursday's attack by a suicide bomber who infiltrated a line of police recruits in Ramadi, killing at least 58 and wounding dozens. Two soldiers were also killed in the Baghdad area when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb, the military said Friday.

In addition, two U.S. Marines were killed by separate small arms attacks while conducting combat operations in Fallujah, the military said.

The military had previously announced the deaths of five soldiers hit by a roadside bomb south of Karbala. The attack came minutes before a second suicide bomber struck Shiite pilgrims in that city, killing 63.

It was the fourth-deadliest day in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, with at least 136 total deaths, including the U.S. troops.

The 11 U.S. deaths were the most in a single day since 11 Americans were killed on Dec. 1. On that day, 10 Marines were killed by buried bombs as they gathered for a promotion ceremony in an abandoned flour mill in Fallujah, and one soldier was killed in Ramadi...

Some of those kids had been in-country only DAYS....

8. "We're making progress."
somebody told • to use that word a lot.
Progress at what? turning American children and young people into cannon Fodder?
Bush must go. He must resign. He is handling world affairs with as much aplomb as Brownie handled hurrican relief.

13. And Bush won't say a word....
It infuriates me!

Bush goes on the tv and gives his condolences to the 12 miners that were killed and to the families, but you won't here him say a word about the eleven killed in Iraq. Why is that?

16. What does the enemy think?
Edited on Fri Jan-06-06 06:06 PM by sweetheart
As an enemy commmander, the weakness of bush at home means
its time to launch the tet offensive. It was all downhill
from there, with a little letup for some breathtaking bombing
of more tonnage than ww2.

But an enemy commander knows that every single US casualty
brings the army closer to the point of retreat and cowardice
on the back of a bush and republican cimbdown more humiliating
than nixon and more complete than the 1970's self-destruction
of the same corrupt puke party.
