, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- 4 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq

AR RAMADI, Iraq, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Three U.S. Marines and one sailor were killed in Iraq's overwhelmingly Sunni Islamic Anbar Province Saturday, the U.S. military said.

The soldiers died from wounds sustained "due to enemy action," the independent Alsumaria Iraqi Satellite Network reported.

Neither the military nor the network offered other details.

The death toll brings to 80 the number of U.S. troops who have died in Iraq this month. With eight days remaining in December, the monthly total of U.S. deaths could meet or exceed the death toll of 105 in October.

5. REC for the troops

6. junior has to be the world's biggest asshole

I hear his hemorrhoids hang down to his knees like a wet paper sack and they are always in a state of chronic inflammation with an indescribable odor.

[Lipton64]

7. Yeah!! Let's send more troops.......

:sarcasm:


Sorry Mr. McCain, for a Republikkkan, you're not as bad as the rest, but sorry, it's not good policy to send more of our young men and women or to that hellhole just to become target practice for IED-operators.

Those 2 groups have been slitting each-other's throats since the at least the Dark Ages and I'm willing to bet once we leave they'll still be slitting each other's throats.....

8. It just doesn't end...

[Missy M]

9. That just makes me so sad.....

and I feel guilty for enjoying the holidays and being with my family. My heart goes out to all the families who have lost their loved ones.

[IndianaGreen]

10. As long as we do nothing, the killing and dying will go on uninterrupted

There are two ways to end this war:

1. The Democratic Congress shuts down the war by voting to cutoff all funding for the surge and passes a resolution in which only funds to bring the troops home can be spend, or

2. Bush gets his way and sends our troops to a "Stalingrad on the Tigris."

Either way, the war will be over!

[dipsydoodle]

11. What's the current score ?

Is Dimson going hand out a gold fucking medal to the Iraqi who causes the 3000th troop fatality ?

[Phrogman]

12. So these are the Sunnis being supported by the Saudi's?

The people the chimp likes to smooch on?

[leQ]

16. i thought saudi was predominately shi-ite, whereas iranians are sunni.. no?

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. No, just the opposite

Iranians are Shia.
