Blast kills two US troops
Two US service members were killed in central Iraq, the military said on Sunday.

A Marine assigned to the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, of the II Marine Expeditionary Force was killed on Saturday by an explosion while conducting combat operations in the city of Hadithah, 220km northwest of Baghdad, the military said in a statement from Camp Fallujah.

A soldier assigned to 1st Corp. Support Command was killed Sunday when a bomb exploded around 6:45pm near the central city of Beiji, the military said in a statement from Tikrit.

I don't see the Beiji death reported on the DU.

1. And we are there because?
We've drained our young, our economy, and for why? Bush's corporate supporters to have the highest profits in their history? I guess GOP sheeple buy it. I check in daily at www.icasualties.org My nephew has survived one deployment there, the next one is in August.

4. Military reports across the board are saying they are not
close to meeting their goals for future death sign ups.

7. Maybe that's why we aren't reading much of this in MSM.

3. BREAKING NEWS: POPE STILL DEAD!
The point of this little post is not to offend Catholics, but to point out that we'll never hear about this. Partly because the American public has lost interest in our troops (hence, no advertising money), and partly because hanging over the dead pontiff's corpse with a video camera is apparently these days thought of as "reporting the news."

Thanks for posting Darker. This news is of no interest to amerika anymore.

Only Jocko's accuser, the price of gas and carole woitula see to matter to the SHEEP anymore.
