This is indeed sickening. Yesterday evening on the MSM, I heard about 7 of our snipers getting ambushed while positioning themselves on building tops, but I hadnt heard about this higher number of fatalities.

Damn!... I DON'T LIKE THIS.

I only hope the president understands what is going on. Yes I support the president and yes I support the principle of giving IRAQ a shot at democracy, etc, etc. But everything HAS A LIMIT. I hope they get their sh** together soon, or they will have to deal with it themselves. I am getting tired of this.

I actually wish the terrorists had a flag and a country which would claim them.

As it is, fighting with IED's against their own and against the coalition does not permit us to attach the shame and utter unmanly cowardice of such tactics to them directly.

Just the same, we know where they are and their tactics are not proudly owned by any free nation or by any honorable person.

Condolences going out for the families and friends of these brave souls. This is not a good day. There will be better ones to come, of that I am certain.

Unfortunately, I made a trip over to DUmmie land to see their take. They are subhuman. I won't even repeat what they've been saying about the President or this incident.

14 today, 6 yesterday.

It isn't starting as a good month.

Send in the B-52's after giving 72 hours notice to clear out the Sunni triangle.

14 Marines dead today. Why? Who are they fighting over there? Have our guys gotten any 'kills' in the past 3 months? Won any 'battles'? Stopped any 'terrorists' from making it over here? (Yes, I'm developing quite the cynical view of the 'war' these days. All the placating platitudes aren't working for me anymore.)

I hope everyone will remember in their prayers these Marines and their families.
They paid the ultimate price.

May they all rest in peace.
God bless them and their families.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Prayers for the fallen, so sad, words are just not adequate.

Lord, please welcome these men Home with open arms. Let their families be comforted in knowing that they are with You. Please be with their families, who will need You so much now. Amen.

I hate that there are people who will rejoice to this news. I hope and pray that there will be justice for them, in this life or the next.

Please pray for my brother. His name is Chris, he is in that area. He is on an amphibious assault vehicle crew with the reserve unit out of Gulfport, Ms.

God bless our men and women in arms. There's just something so cosmicly unfair that the best and bravest our nation produces volunteer to go fight and die so that our worst and most cowardly can have the freedom to rejoice at their deaths.

But then again, our Savior's death on the cross was the empitome of cosmic "unfairness." Jesus protect those who serve.

My God......14 heroes.

My sincerest prayers for these fourteen brave Marines and their families. I pray also for God's protection for all of our forces in this war. Brave ones all.
