NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2006

(CBS/AP) Within hours of hearing her love had been killed in Iraq, a soldier's fiancée
got an engagement ring, his family said.

Sgt. Yevgeniy Ryndych, 24, died Wednesday in Ramadi, the Defense Department said.

His family and fiancée were told on the same day she got a package with the
engagement ring, said the soldier's brother, Ivan Ryndych.

"He had proposed over the phone from Iraq within the past month," said Ivan Ryndych,
20. "He bought an engagement ring over the Internet."

2. Dear God, when will this insanity in Iraq stop???

All I can think about is Chimpy's response yesterday to James Neely's question about Iraq. "It's bad...That help"...

Mr. Bush I'd suggest you say that to Sgt. Ryndych's grieving and heartbroken family and fiancee, you useless POS.

3. That is so sad.

George Bush and the Republicans certainly do put family values first, don't they?

They never miss an opportunity to rip apart a life already being lived, they only want to protect the fetus. After that, yer on your own, buddy.

This insanity must stop! President Bush needs to honor the desires of the American people, and BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.
