2601 US Servicemen and Servicewomen killed in Iraq.
I know the rule against really short diaries, but I just don't know what else to say about this. Too sad to rant but I do think this number deserves a diary all it's own.
The two most recent US Military deaths in Iraq happened just South of Baghdad. We're pouring troops into Baghdad to try to prevent violence between the Shia and Sunni populations.
2 US Troops Among Nearly 50 Dead in Iraq
They also found a dozen dead Iraqi men caught in a metal grate in the river. So why does the story say Almost 50 dead when it's obviously At Least 50 dead and might easily be twice that.
I feel I might throw up.
