Okay guys
At the present no one has the count on the total US dead in Ar Ramadi. Reason due to the confusion, conflict.
Remember the train in Spain, over 200 until a week later and it dropped to 190 until last week when another of the injured died raising the count to 191.
The suicide bombers and explosions in Iraq a few weeks ago went from over hundreds to 7.
At the present we have been told that it is at least 12, not less than 12, but at least 12. We will have to just wait and see.
Whatever the number is they gave their all
1) to free people (whether those people want the type of freedom as we desribe it)
2) retribution for 9/11
3) to protect the American people.
May these American and coalition soldiers rest in peace. God bless them and those that are still on the battleground carrying on for their fallen helpmates.

Former Saddam military?
Well, they never even saw combat in that region. Wasn't one (or more) divisions of the republican guard stationed in that area before Baghdad fell?
Do you have any additional info?
To: DCPatriot
I would say Japan is like a tame large cat rather than a tabby. They ARE on the right side though! I wouldn't mess with them if I was Korea or China.

Ernest if it is true that the Ba'athists today used human wave attacks......they are truly desperate.

Who have you been talking to? I'm a military dependent and I can tel you that the President is highly regarded here in this section of the military community. And these are guys that have been Very busy. Yes, the morale is low because they are tired, however they respect the CIC.

Exactly and Amen.

Human wave attacks in Ar Ramadi.....what does that tell you.Somebody convinced them the "virgin" resupply train had pulled in?
To: DCPatriot
The only other course is to kill them all and let God sort them out...which will only polarize all muslims...and we will never have the chance to show them that democracy and freedom is better than Islamo-fascist slavery
I agree with your assesment of the above statement. The only thing that these guys respect is raw, brute, overwelming, force! Any "discussions" they view as weakness.

To: highlandbreeze
The thing about W to me is that I think he knows exactly what he's asking of them and if there was another way he would do it. Rummy too, but they're still playing the hand they were dealt to a large extent. He doesn't talk about "I feel your pain", he talks about how PROUD he is of them. He is a Mensch. There is no one else to vote for except someone who obviously hates the military (worse than the Clintons even) and everything they stand for.
The only support Kerry could be receiving is from the Clintonistas that haven't been weeded out yet. Now that I mention it I hope there are a disproportionately high number of them among our casualties. I'm sorry for saying that but it's the way I feel.
I gotta go, ciao to everyone and stay strong for the guys.
Out.

"They have a lot of murdering pukes. If we continue at this ratio we are going to lose too many of our soldiers"
WHAT???????? Are you kidding?? What's your suggestion? Let's leave and come play when the sides are more fair... This is a war! Soldiers die... that is an awful fact but it is a fact! We will break their backs but we will suffer casualties during that time.
War is not cute and fun and neat, it's ugly ut this one is about as NECESSARY as it gets!

Bret Baer FOX NEWS says that situation is "winding down" in Ramadi. Seventy attackers at Governor's Palace, ramadi. "Dozens" of attackers killed. Pentagon says Baathists are most likely the attackers at Ramadi, not Sadr's militia. Baathists have extensive military training.
Seventy or so Baathists attacking a Marine compound and killing at least 12 and wounding at least 20 sounds strange. Something went wrong. Maybe a few lucky/deadly mortar strikes at the outset.
