Faux now admits 6 Marines were killed not two
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160564,00.html

An earlier report said only two Marines had been killed, with three Marines and a sailor among those unaccounted for in the attack. The female victims were the first women in the Marine Corps to die since the Iraq war began.

5. Here it comes ..............
Let's get ready for the "Jessica Lynchization" of these dead girls, and how they died defending American freedoms, their virginities, our virginities, the right to shop at WalMart, and how twenty-two hundred of their fellow Marines would have died, too, if not for their bravery.

And then ask yourself, after you hear the tragic and heroic stories of these dead young women, ask yourself WHY YOU HATE AMERICA.

(I'm sorry - I just can't do a really good Karl Rove.)
