2. Is this
in addition to the deaths reported yesterday? Things are unravelling so quickly that I can't keep track of it all.

3. 11 people killed since sunday
oh yeah -- this is what you want -- right america?
we had to do something, right america?
killing, destruction, debt and defict, right america?
these things are the solution, right america?
we can blame bush all we want to -- but far, far too many of our fellow citizens believe this scenario is right.
people know better -- this is really about how brutal and thugish oer family can be.
no shame in our game -- or bush would be seen as the radical he is.

9. Bingo! If Bu$h was not a radical. He`d of left Scalia out of selection
process that usurpered our constitution. For their brand of fascism. When my puke brother in law called me a radical. I told him the radical was squatting in Al Gore`s White House. Now with a war crime under his belt (for bogus reasons that still are being tweaked). Bu$h can not even guarantee the vote of my naive brother in law. Without Diebold Bu$h does not even have a chance. IMHO.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

5. 11 Americans killed since Sunday?!
How many people have to die, wait, repukes don't care about them, they have to be American, no, wait, still ain't good enough for the repugnants, they have to be Christian, no, wait, Jesus was a liberal, could be more of them, they have to be REPUBLICANS! There we go.

How many REPUBLICANS have to die before the right half of this country's brain starts functioning rationally?

6. This report is deliberately vague
One can't tell from the report what this is trying to say.

7. Combat?
How can that be?! *flyby george declared mission accomplished. Combat is over, done with, history.

Perhaps the news hasn't reached Iraq.

No, I'm not making light of it. I'm so enraged, this is the only response I can come up with that won't get me a visit from the guys in suits.

11 killed since Sunday? What does that mean? 7 more that haven't been reported yet? This makes no sense. None of it does.

8. I think this puts the total for the last 24 hrs...
...at 12:
1 Marine in Al Anbar province (previously reported)
7 in Baghdad (previously reported)
1 in Najaf (previously reported - died w/ El Salvador soldier)
1 in Baghdad (new - died of wounds from Sadr City uprising)
1 Marine in Al Anbar province (new)
1 in Mosul (new)

I think that's the total now... :shrug:

10. Situation changing so fast...
... it's hard to keep track now, but I believe there was also one death reported this morning in Kirkuk. Can't confirm, though.
