BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The U.S. military on Thursday announced the deaths of five U.S. troops in fighting in Iraq, raising to 96 the number of American forces killed this month.

The four Marines and one Navy sailor all died in fighting in Anbar province, a hotbed of the Sunni insurgency against U.S. troops and their Iraqi government allies.

The latest deaths raised to 96 the number of U.S. forces killed in October, the highest toll for any month this year and on course to surpass the October 2005 total of 96.

5. This is disgusting.....

what the hell is wrong with Americans? When are they going to get down and dirty in the streets to stop this nonsense? How many people have to die for Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rumsfeld's sick personalities?

[w8liftinglady]

6. they publish my ltte today-it's dedicated to these guys

My goal is to see every one of these murderous bastards tried at the Hague.


Our president says he never meant "stay the course"-even though this has been a consistent component of his,and his cohorts',rhetoric.Almost three thousand soldiers are dead,while the Republican Party tries to backtrack and deny.Twenty thousand soldiers are wounded and maimed,missing limbs,horribly burned,and scarred in their souls-while Republicans now say they are looking at a timeline-the same thing they crucified John Murtha over.It is election time,and the Republicans are paying lip service to the disgruntled masses.Too late,Republicans-your lying,amoral ways betray the Christianity you so vehemently profess to practice.The number of dead,injured soldiers betray your "desire" for peace and love among men.The TRUE numbers of poor,homeless,and struggling people in America betray your "desire" to help the poor.The sheer numbers of sick,uninsured people in this country-with our emergency rooms bursting at the seams,betray your "desire" to help the sick.You have betrayed your Christian base,Republicans,and now only cater to the super wealthy,who have also sold their souls for the almighty dollar.I hope the Democrats conquer the House and Senate this November,and investigate every one of these elected officials who have profited from this insane,immoral war.It is early voting time.Let these "servants of the people" be accountable for their crimes.

7. A very good letter - Thank you for supporting our troops & country

K&R - God forgive us & help us.

8. U.S. death toll in Iraq worst in a year

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061026/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The number of American troops killed in Iraq in October reached the highest monthly total in nearly two years on Thursday after four Marines and a sailor died of wounds suffered while fighting in same Sunni insurgent stronghold.

The U.S. military said 96 U.S. troops have died so far in October, the highest monthly total since October 2005, when the same number of American forces was killed. The highest monthly death toll prior to that came in Jan. 2005, when 107 U.S. troops were killed.

The spike in deaths has been a major factor behind rising anti-war sentiment in the United States, fueling calls for President Bush to change tactics.

Polls show a majority of Americans are opposed to Bush's handling of Iraq, and at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday, Bush indicated he shared the public's frustration even as he pushed back against calls for troop withdrawals.

9. U.S. President worst EVER..!! the war was started on information from 2 people

11. Is there still an *FBI's Ten Most Wanted* list?

They need to locck up this asshole for many reasons aside from AWOL. Among them war crimes, crimes against humanity, treason, public corruption, just for starters.

[Canuckistanian]

12. A sailor dies fighting in the desert?

I'm sure that's not what he signed up to do.

I wonder how many sailors are currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan now?

[Serial Mom]

13. some of them are medics assigned to units

I'm not sure about all of them who are in the zones.

:cry: for all of the lives lost over lies!

[lpbk2713]

17. SEALs and SeaBees go where the action is too

If they don't eventually release his name he was probably a SEAL.

Paddy's Lament Lyrics

Well it's by the hush, me boys, and sure that's to MIND your noise
And listen to poor Paddy's sad narration
I was by hunger stressed, and in poverty distressed
So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation

Well I sold me horse and cow, my little pigs and sow
My FATHER'S FARM of land I soon did part with
And me sweetheart Bid McGee, I'm afraid I'll never see
For I left her there that morning broken-hearted

Here's you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have ye's not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Well myself and a hundred more, to America sailed o'er
Our fortunes to be making we were thinkin'
When we got to Yankee land, they put guns into our hands
SAYING "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln"

Here's you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have YOUSE not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

General Meagher to us he said, if you get shot or lose your Head
Every MOTHER'S SON of youse will get a pension
Well in the war I lost me leg, AND ALL I'VE NOW'S a wooden peg
And by soul it is the truth to you I mention

Here's you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have YOUSE not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Well I think myself in luck, if I get fed on Indianbuck
And old Ireland is the country I delight in
To the devil, I would say, God curse Americay
For the truth I've had enough of your hard fightin

Here's you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have YOUSE not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

I wish I was at home
I wish I was at home
I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

15. Nothing to see here: Feed them the latest on Madonna's Adoption

[young_at_heart]

16. How DO they all sleep at night?

Laura is coming to my city soon and I think I'll make a sign asking that question.

[AnneD]

18. because they have no conscious

they sleep very well, sadly enough.....And great LTTE w8lifting lady. Good to see you stirring the pot.

[saigon68]

19. They sleep like little Lambs on heated Waterbeds

LOL

[nealmhughes]

20. Do y'all realize that if it is a Navy petty officer, and he was killed with a bunch

of Marines then the odds are great that he was the unit's medic?

Higher ranking Navy personnel might be general support or SEALs.
