Mosul Attack Kills More Than 20; Halliburton Workers Among Dead
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Insurgents fired explosives at a dining tent during lunchtime at a U.S. Army base in Iraq's northern city of Mosul today, killing more than 20 people, including soldiers and employees of military contractor Halliburton Co.

``The killed include U.S. military personnel, U.S. contractors, foreign national contractors and Iraqi army,'' Brigadier General Carter Ham said in a Pentagon video from Mosul, according to a transcript. He did not provide an exact number of those dead, and said more than 60 were wounded.

Ham is commander of Task Force Olympia, a roughly 8,000- soldier force that includes 5,000 soldiers from Fort Lewis, Washington. Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, was the scene of a violent flare-up last month in which insurgents seized most of the town's police stations.

This is indeed a tragedy and I am sure in the long run those "insurgents"(terrorists bastards in my book) will be sorry they messed with the U.S. military.

I expect to see the smoke and destruction of this attack in living color on the letter nets as they will do anything to make their viewers hate the war. They are just salivating at the chance to have us leave before the job is finished.

But I really questioned FNC's leading with this tonight. Whose side are they on or have they become just another letter net? We need more than just talk radio and the blogosphere supporting the troops.
