1. December deadliest month for U.S. in Iraq in 2 yrs...2998

(Adds one more U.S. death)

BAGHDAD, Dec 30 (Reuters) - December became the deadliest month for U.S. troops in Iraq in two years after the U.S. military reported six more combat deaths, leaving the tally just two short of the emotive 3,000 mark.

Three U.S. marines died on Thursday from wounds suffered in combat in Iraq's western Anbar province. One soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in northwest Baghdad and another soldier was killed in Anbar on Friday, the military said on Saturday.

Another statement announced the death of a U.S. soldier killed by a roadside bomb in southwest Baghdad on Friday.

The latest deaths take the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the invasion of March 2003 to 2,998, according to icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks U.S. deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2. Look at the list...

Al-Anbar, Al-Anbar, Al-Anbar...

It's a majority SUNNI province and they just killed Saddam, a SUNNI. Like that will mend relations...NOT!
:mad:

[Kajsa]

3. Hear, hear!

Don't forget, there are servicemen/women from other
countries who are also fighting and dying in this friggin
war as we speak!

[Cooley Hurd]

4. 250 since the start of the war...

...as per icasualties.org. :(

[Monkeyman]

6. Yep and Wounded numbers are up too

[blondeatlast]

5. Moms and dads now, too, not just sons and brothers.

We count the "collateral damage" and the physically wounded, but the scar will go deep into the heart of children who will lose their moms and dads. The future looks dimmer and dimmer.

May God have mercy on our collective soul. I need to go hug my beautiful son now (once I stop sobbing).

K&R.

7. HOO-AH!! Bring it On! Shock and Awe! USA! USA! USA!

8. Bring them Home. Bring them Home. Bring them Home.

Bring them Home. Bring them Home.
