Can anyone show me an American news site reporting the six troops killed
Edited on Fri Nov-25-05 04:07 PM by RagingInMiami
in the last 24 hours? Would this make it more than 2100 troops dead? Why can't I find one American news source to back it up? The only thing I found on Google was some paper in Montana, but I wasn't able to access that story when I clicked the link.

2. You mean the US MSM? Ha - not a chance on Black Friday
That's when retailers make their budgets. They don't mourn on Black Friday - bad for business, you know. :eyes:

Three US soldiers were killed on Thursday in Iraq as troops celebrated Thanksgiving. Two were killed by a roadside bomb and one when an M-1 Abrams tank rolled over.

The latest deaths brought to at least 2 111 the number of US military personnel killed since the March 2003 invasion, according to a toll based on Pentagon figures.

8. CNN this morning reported 2,105.
Getting ridiculous. Had to listen to some moron in Murtha's district saying if we bring soldiers home now we're "letting down the troops."
Maybe we should wait until 3,000 are killed, then bring them home. I'm sure the troops would prefer that. Moron.

12. Mainstream media is still riding the fence.
"Balanced" reporting has been replaced by paranoid of retribution by the WH reporting. *'s been making a list, checkin' it twice. Gonna find out which network's been naughty or nice. It's not a big secret.
