Escalation Off To A Rocky Start


I don't think our escalation in troops is directly related to these deaths, but we had 25 more troops killed Saturday.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military on Sunday reported six more American troops killed in fighting the day before, raising the toll to 25 in the deadliest day for U.S. forces in Iraq in two years.

Four U.S. soldiers and a Marine were killed Saturday during combat in Anbar, the Sunni insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said. A roadside bomb also struck a security patrol northeast of Baghdad, killing one soldier.

Saturday's carnage also included 12 soldiers killed in a Blackhawk helicopter crash northeast of Baghdad, five killed in a militant attack in the holy Shiite city of Karbala and two others slain elsewhere in roadside bombings.


But I will say that this is a preview of what the Bush/McCain/Lieberman plan for Iraq will do for us.

The Zionists that control the congress have decided that American lives are cheap and expendable. Americas' duty to the dual citizenship holders that control the most powerful slots in our government (the Israel Firsters) have all decided that America has an unspoken duty to do Israels' dirty work, pay for it, and give them bonuses by giving them most of the foreign aid budget to kill their Palestinian neighbors, steal their land and keep them all slaves.
