Four US soldiers killed west of Baghdad


Four Marines killed in clashes during military operation in Al-Anbar province as US considers sending more troops to Iraq.


BAGHDAD - Four US soldiers were killed in clashes Monday during a military operation in Al-Anbar province, west of the Iraqi capital, the US military said Tuesday.

"Four Marines serving with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force were killed as a result of enemy action in Al-Anbar province on April 5 while conducting security and stabilization operations," the military said in a statement.

A senior military official said Monday "the United States is examining the possibility of deploying rapid-response forces to Iraq, if needed to bolster troops after a bloody surge in violence at the weekend."

Anbar province's most-populous city is Fallujah, which hundreds of Marines have surrounded, ready to launch a crackdown on insurgents after a mob killed four Americans and mutilated their bodies last week. The province stretches from Baghdad to the Jordanian and Syrian borders.

16. Michael emailed us last night, he knows we have been watching
the news. he said hes inside the prison compound where hes stationed, and he knows of the deaths, and he said hes hunkered down.
If this breaks into worse civil war, I am wondering if the idiots at the Pentagon will have the common sense to get those guys out of there in time.
God damn the people who created this bloodbath.
God damn them all.
