Fox is now reporting 4 dead; three from this attack, and one from a car bomb. This sucks. I see no reason to believe that "things are getting better in Iraq." There are a lot of soldiers dying this month in that Arab hellhole.

Go look at the casualty rates from, say, Viet Nam 1968-1972. Heck, look at the casualty rates in a top-10 U.S. metro area. Get back to me.

You're right. It does suck. This is war.

God bless our troops and their families, especially the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice today.

We have a job to do there. The REAL Iraqis are glad we have come to do it. PRayers for the families of those lost in bravery and heroism.

Your way was tried in Afghanistan a few years back....and the Taliban took over. This is all part of the war on terror.
