Military Death is the Theme of this Morning

The first three stories I ran across this morning echo with reports of death from Iraq.

First, there are reports that 3 more members of the Georgia Guard were killed in Iraq, this makes 11 in the last few weeks.

Then we learn that two men based at Ft. Hood, back from Iraq, have killed themselves.

A reminder of the Ohio marines killed in two attacks earlier this week.

And now a 4th and 5th

In Ramadi, yet another Marine has died.

and Afghanistan

and all of this death is for nothing. Iraq will be a failed state, a land of bloody civil war, and a training ground for terrorist, as soon as we leave.

You are correct about Civil war. That is why we did not go into Iraq the first time. To bad Shrub is not as astute as his dad is, Shrub is just an idiot

It is clear to me now that a civil war has started, and will explode once the US forces are gone.

The Shia want the southern oil, the Kurds want the Northern, and the Sunni want a cut. In the end it means war.

Perhaps Iraq should divide into separate countries. It was only formed in its current state after World War I.

In Fort Collins, Colorado, a soldier back on leave, here only 9 days, just shot his wife dead and then killed himself.

So that's THREE solider suicides in a couple days.

ANow it's about 90 soldiers who have shot themselves since "Mission Accomplished."
