Ms. Malkin's daily article is a must on my reading list. She frequently provides insightful links.

Is there a specific article you're referring to? Michelle's site is overwhelming...

We are proud of you PFC Tucker, very, very proud!

From her article:

"There's another lesson, an unofficial one, which will be passed among the troops themselves. Never surrender. They'll just kill you anyway. It's better to go down fighting."

Sad for these young people to have to face that harsh reality. But true.

Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker,

The outrage the general in Iraq expressed over the media releasing the news of the deaths of these brave men before the families had been notified is shared by many of us. Another prime example of their inhumane attitude toward the military and America.

We need to freep them big time.

The photo of Pfc. Tucker brought the horror of this war too close to home this morning. As I looked at the photo on Fox News, I had only to glance up at the photo at one of my grandsons to see the exact same uniform and insignias. (These are photos at the end of basics - my grandson has gone on to get his wings (airborne) and now in SpecOps) - In addition,his middle name is Thomas and Tucker is a family name....and other similarities I wont mention.

I swear, if I hear one libTraitor denigrate the troops - and if they denigrate the war,they ARE against our troops - they know it, but don't dare say it for they know the public will not allow it - I swear, even tho an old great-grandmother, I may make the headlines for assault

These men are the best our country has to offer who will be portrayed as victims and failures by an MSM and liberal politicians that pretend to care about them.

Already, MSNBC and CNN have gone wall to wall with stories on the 'sophisticated work' of al Qaeda.

They have interviewed a disgruntled uncle who blames Bush for not providing a large enough ransom.

The MSM template is in place as FALLEN HEROS become DEAD FAILURES in the MSM.
