from MSNBC:
U.S. soldiers found the bodies based on a tip from a reliable Iraqi source, military officials told NBC News. U.S. forces had to literally fight their way to the bodies; enemy forces laid a series of improvised explosive devices, also known as IEDs, on the primary route to the bodies.
How timely for me.
From the link I was just referring to....
"....The knock at the door begins a ritual steeped in tradition more than two centuries old; a tradition based on the same tenet: 'Never leave a Marine behind.'...."

God bless each and every one of them.

I'm with another poster. Time to round up all the men in the area, contain them, move out the women and children and flatten this area. No questions asked. Then interrogate each one to find out answers. I know there are so many problems with this scenario, but all of this makes me so very angry right now, and I am probably not thinking through what should be done.
