We are getting these guys in great numbers, while very few of our own are killed or wounded per month in Iraq.

Freepers should know by now to verify anything coming from the mainstream press re. the war (including FoxNews). The press has been misrepresenting the situation on the groundin Iraq from the beginning. Our guys are kicking enemy butt and winning hearts daily - and have been.

This story is not yet up at CENTCOM or DoD. I'd question any story until you hear from those who know that careless words endanger the troops.

Incidentally, we last lost a US soldier to hostile acts on Sept. 1 - across a nation the size of California with ~ 130,000 US troops currently on the ground. Yes, we've taken out MANY bad guys this week.

Agree, agree, agree! I get e-mails from those actually on the ground in Iraq and we are making MAJOR headway! The major alphabet networks do a major disservice to our troops and they should be ashamed of themselves. BTW, a "FReeper" verifying this information today joined on September 9, 2003. Whoops, that's today, isn't it?
