BBC ... 10 more dead in Iraq
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4493118.stm

<Ten US marines killed in Falluja

More than 2,000 US troops have died in Iraq since the invasion
Ten US marines were killed and 11 wounded by a roadside bomb outside the central Iraqi town of Falluja on Thursday, the US military has said.
The soldiers from the 2nd Marine Division were conducting a foot patrol when a bomb exploded.

Their combat unit was taking part in a counter-insurgency operation in Anbar Province, west of the capital Baghdad.

The attack was one of the deadliest against US forces. It brings to 2,120 the number of US troops killed in Iraq.>

When does this all stop?

1. I guess it will only stop when there is a draft.
That would be the only way to get Americans to demand an end.

4. We've got a long ways to go, I'm afraid.
We were in VietNam 10 years. We lost over 58,000 U.S. troops, so we've got quite a ways to go.

Unless the U.S. decides it's time to quit early. Maybe so.
