I needed to read it more than once to understand that it was the eight suicide bombers who were killed by an ISF counter attack, and not hundreds of U.S. Marines.
Anyone else have as much of a problem reading this sentence? (I'd suggest that Columbia U might have as many QC problems creating journalists who can write coherently as it has creating US Presidents who can govern the nation at all.)
LOL I tend to read the news positively and if we had lost one Marine if would have been in the headline.
The art of coherent writing cannot be taught by those who have never learned it so I expect to see even less of it in the future.
