Granted...
Guess they figure we are like the sheeple, read the headline and move along.
By not saying they are US troops they are taking another shot at us ... Watch them try to sneak the ‘real facts’ out sometime between 8PM Sat and 4AM Mon - if they even bother to do that.

Remember the ‘pre BO’ days when the casualties were broadcast every evening, with pix when available, of OUR KIA’s?

Once BO assumed the pResidency, the daily ‘score card’ was discontinued.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I did like the fact that our KIA’s were being recognized, but the purpose of the Media was to embarrass Bush, so we ought to raise as much hell about the NOT reporting as we did the reporting.

Hate to say it, but if we don’t play by/with ‘their’ rules, we will get buried again.
