KABUL (Reuters) - Two U.S. service personnel were killed in a roadside bomb blast in southeast Afghanistan, the U.S. military said on Saturday.

The two, described as U.S. service members, were in a convoy in Paktika province, near the Pakisani border when their vehicle was hit by the blast on Friday. A U.S. soldier and an Afghan interpreter were wounded, the U.S. military said in a statement.

1. Bushies hear no deaths

You will never see a right wing site showing the deaths. They, like Babs Bush, don't want to waste their beautiful minds on such. Babs saw to it that hers never defended our country.

Are they troops, national guard or mercenaries?

10. I can't find this story on Yahoo now. Only by doing a search does it turn

up. Maybe yahoo rotates stories in and out? But if they don't and Yahoo is purposely "hiding" this story from all their front pages, then? Then what a disgraceful nation we've become!

Rest in peace. Cpl. James L. Moore returning home to his family in Roseburg. You did not fail your country. The Corporations and the Republican party and the pResident failed you!

PS (These children were supposed to be flown in at NIGHT the previous day but a bad storm hit the North West which forced a delay. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON THIS OCCURRED IN DAYLIGHT HOURS. This was reported in the local newspapers. Where are the American Liberal Press Corp who are exploiting this type of treatment to American Dead War Heros by Bush and Meyers?)

We were on our way to Seattle and stopped off in Roseburg for gas, ice-cream, and then to the hardware store. I heard some loud helicopters nearing then looked up and saw the dark images. I asked the clerk. "Is that the boy coming home?" She never answered but we both started crying immediately.

Shame on the American media. Shame on the Republican Party!

The other helicopter contains the body of what I understood was a soldier from Yreka. If someone can find out who, please PM me so that I can give him the honor he deserves as the President of the United States and GOP leadership and Conservative Media spit on his coffin.

Most of the people along the fence line collapsed as did the family next to the silver hearst. The women workers at the hardware store all collapsed. The men, all macho rednecks, did everything they could to not burst out in tears. Most of the men disappeared within seconds.

Only the Bush/GOP Crime Family, American Corporate Whore Media, and sucking coward Republicans sending other people's children to die support the Slaughter Invasion of Iraq!

Being me an honest anti-aWol-slaugther DU member. What would you guess the odds that we happen to be driving by a town in the middle of nowhere, stopping at a hardware store which happens to be opposite of a country airport, and having soldiers coming home? This must have been divine intervention.
