BAGHDAD, Iraq - Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt confirmed Monday that four U.S. service members were killed in the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Ramadi.

Videotape delivered to Associated Press Television News showed the four, still in uniform, lying dead near what appeared to be a walled compound.

Kimmitt, the deputy chief of operations, told reporters at a briefing in Baghdad, the capital, that the servicemen were conducting operations in Ramadi, and a search was launched when they failed to check in at an appointed time.

He declined further comment until the families of the dead could be notified.

I don't get it. How are 4 Marines sent out alone to do an operation. How do they get into a situation where it appeared they couldn't defend themselves. From the way they are lying, it looks to me like they were executed. How the hell does that happen?!?

Videotape. Provided by the terrorists or Reuters? Oh wait. Same-same as Cheney would say.

Yet another U.S.S. Cole mission.
