Just mentioned on FNC:

Dining facility on U.S. Base in Iraq hit by rocket attack- 10 dead

Waiting for more info...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Good advice!

I wish someone would start following it.

[TexKat]

My son just returned home from there.

My son will be returning there shortly. Thank your son Graybeard 58. May God bless him.

Fox....lunchtime rocket attack...dining room filled...at least 10 dead, 50 wounded...

OMG, please Lord look after our soldiers, keep them safe.

That time was on 12 September 2001

Sounds good to me! If the Kurds become too much of a force in Iraq, then Turkey will get involved. Hell, Turkey is in part to blame for the situation we are in now.

Thank GOD your son is safe!!

Please convey my thanks for his service!

Let's hope its a case of the (moronic) media confusing 'casualty' with 'fatality'.

no... let's hope it's not... right? casualties can be injuries or deaths; but fatalities are always deaths

[eccentric]

I have heard that the only difference between the men and women in Iraq was that the women can't be given combat pay. They are all in a combat area. Prayers.

[Types_with_Fist]

They are all in a combat area.

Yes. I agree with that. The distinction with this attack, however, was that it occurred in an area where we have a newer operation/offensive. That's what I meant.

Yes, of course, they are all in hostile areas.

I'm thinkin' the Green Zone isn't such a hot idea at this time. Is there a better way to protect our beloved troops?

[ruiner]

I was referring to the "10 deaths" quote I saw, hoping it was 10 casualties misreported as 10 fatalities.

Symantics!

"a direct hit...Im guessing an inside job...."

A turncoat takes a GPS reading at the mess hall and passes the info on to the the perps.

'MULTIPLE' US CONFIMRED KILLED AT MESS HALL - ping.

The ragheads know exactly when and where to hit with those mortar attacks.

I smell a bad cook. Mebbe several of 'em.

[Helmholtz]

How many ACTUAL TROOPS were killed?

[MikefromOhio]

It was in Mosul....

we got hit at the same time, but Haji's horrible aim held....

[Squantos]

An iraqi mortarman paced this target while on uncle sugars payroll IMHO......happing at other sites too. Wait for it.

I think it was an inside job too. Iraqis or their families should they blow themselves up, get paid for killing Americans. Remember how Atta and company kept a low profile and were friendly while they were in Florida learning to fly planes into buildings.

It's the same over there. It makes me shudder and why can't we stop mixing Iraqis with our forces on our bases for now? Must we rely upon them or are they allowed near our troops as a politically correct gesture??? Is that possible?

$10 says Al Jazeera has film! Why does it always seem there are film crews around when this kind of crap takes place yet we can never find the guys doing it????

" smell a bad cook. Mebbe several of 'em."

FRY ALL of them in PORK fat!!!!

Tired of playing patty cake with these murdering scumbags.

[Helmholtz]

So no news about exactly what percentage of casualties are US troops?
