1. Oops...this might be a dupe

If it is...Mods please Delete...I was looking for "8" when I scanned the page...didn't think the "3 U.S. soldiers killed" might be the same story

2. 8 dead, 3 dead, no matter

According to Rumsfuck it's "normal" that Americans die every day in a country the size of California.

4. Dupe... locking

Although this story has changed, and in a tragic way, since first reported here at LBN, it's best if we can keep our discussion consolidated within the original thread, here:

If you wish to post a significant update to the story within the original thread, it's helpful to use the word UPDATE within your subject line.

Thanks everyone!
