I think we just lost 2 more Soldiers. 1570?
According to this photo caption. I have not seen any news reports of this incident yet.

:(



Iraqi street cleaners wait for US Army soldiers to clear the road after a roadside bomb exploded in the south part of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, April 24, 2005. Two US Army humvee's were targeted, killing two US Army soldiers and injuring two Iraqi's, according to Iraqi police at the spot. (AP Photo/Muhammed Uraibi)


How many more are we going to lose?

1. Sorry, but there's no time to think about that.
We're too busy with Guckert/Gannon/Gosch, that kid in Florida who pitched the tantrum, and the Pope. Try again some other time!

4. Thanks for that
I had not seen that for a long time. According to http://icasualties.org/oif/ and including these two in the caption that would bring the number to 36 dead in 24 days. Another record month for the aWol** Liar. :grr:

5. Here in northeastern Oklahoma you would think that the war in Iraq
is over. Hardly any news at all now. Whats the deal, did we bring our kids home and I missed it.

6. It's the same way here behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain.
But this is the reddest state this far north, and the republican people here have protruding foreheads and very few teeth..

7. I gave up TV except for weather and movies
I have no idea what they report anymore. I do get BBC and CNNI which I watch occasionally. AmeriKan news I get second hand here at DU. If I were in the service in Iraq I would be PISSED at the lack of coverage.

9. Don't forget, too
Let's not forget the Iraqi Guardsmen and Security forces being killed to the tune of nearly 400 this month alone. Check out the page at Iraqi Coalition Casualities website.
