No, 4 of the deaths today were the 2 Iraqi civilians so only 2 (I think?)

I really am starting to believe maybe Islam is a wicked religion. I hate to be reactionary but how else can you explain the constant brutality and warring with these people.

At some point here we are going to have to tell the Iraqis that this is THEIR country and we need them to contribute to the cause by leading us directly to all Baathist members and foreign fighters immediately, instead of standing around in the streets like a bunch of gawking dogs. Freedom is not FREE, ragheads.

Just because Americans are there doesn't mean that Democracy is going to suddenly break out all over the place.

On the other hand, we could completely depopulate the country in a few weeks, put in Palm Springs-like subdivisions with names like Rancho Vista, Camino de Real and Buena Vista for our senior citizens. Add a few golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer with some great sand traps and you have a wonderful retirement community for the baby boomers.

Two U.S. Soldiers Missing in Baghdad

Thursday, June 26, 2003

WASHINGTON — Two U.S. soldiers and their Humvee were missing in Baghdad Thursday, a senior Pentagon official said.

American forces in the Iraqi capital searched for hours for the missing soldiers and their vehicle, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The incident comes amid an increase in attacks on coalition soldiers in Iraq. An American soldier and two Iraqi civilians were killed in other attacks on Thursday.

Islam is the problem....and unless you eliminate it...this will continue
To allow CAIR and the Wahhabi lobby to access our political system and
influence our leaders decsions
Is to cut our own throats ...and those of our troops...
Get serious or get out

" No, 4 of the deaths today were the 2 Iraqi civilians so only 2 (I think?) "

God forgive me,but, I'm glad to hear that.

6 years later, taking advantage of our military's inability to defend the country, the Chinese Red Army comes to our rescue

Would Red China give their enemy water when they capture them as one of our fine soldiers did? Would they throw candy in the streets, distribute food, try to rebuild the towns, give them money, jobs, make sure laws were followed and prisoners were treated humanely?

[bluebunny]

Yeah, do you see on the TV reports the way they just sit around looking at the troops. They need to make they own destiny too.

The title of the article would lead one to believe that 4 US troops were killed as a result of hostile fire.

If you read the article you discover that one was killed by a remote bomb, while another died in a traffic accident. The two others that were killed were Iragi civilians.

At least they correctly reported 19 have died since the war was officially declared over instead of the 50+ number which inludes accidents they have been touting for the last couple of weeks.

[Lijahsbubbe]

They don't want to get along

There ya go.

[Smogger]

since then and then add the 4 today and I guess the total combat deaths would be 23.

Wrong! The AP and the other news organization are being INTENTIONALLY misleading with these stories. The 19 inludes the ONE mentioned in this article. If you read the article only one soldier was killed.

To understand the Arab mentality you need to be around a few for a while

And isn't it part of the mentality that a Muslim will not turn in his own to a non-Muslim? If so, who's going to help our soldiers?

[MichaelP]

Do we have to excerpt everything? I thought just LAT and WP. It's annoying in the extreme. This is just AP for gosh sakes!

I think the German would be more akin to the Muslim. Kill the infidel wherever you find them.

[Cuttnhorse]

You sure nailed it...right on the mark!

[sarasota]

That's right. Just because Saddam dies doesn't stop a guy from being a terrorist. The killing will continue.

[sarasota]

Some take literally the phrase, from the Koran, "Kill the infidels."

[RussianConservative]

What make you think Arabs want democracy? 20 Arab countries, not one with democracy...get point?
