BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. Marine was killed in action on Thursday in the restive al-Anbar province west of Baghdad, the American military said.
A military statement contained no further details. Anbar province includes the cities of Falluja, where U.S. troops launched a major offensive in November to try to drive out insurgents, and Ramadi, another guerrilla stronghold.

Since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003, at least 1,055 American military and Pentagon personnel have been killed in action in Iraq. Including non-combat deaths, the toll is 1,340.

1342 by my count. RIP... :(

7. Until the RWers finally decide they've had enough of this killing

and start to protest the war themselves, which probably won't happen until the draft is implemented and their butts are forced to the frontlines, I have no further comment to make on these deaths.

My voice is gone since the election.
