Three U.S. soldiers were killed in fighting in Iraq's western Anbar province,
the military said Friday.

The soldiers, who were assigned to Multi-National Force - West, died Thursday
from wounds sustained while conducting combat operations in the insurgent
stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said in a statement.

Their names were withheld pending notification of relatives.

The deaths raised to at least 3,117 members of the U.S. military who have died
since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

1. And W 's war marches on

Insanity.

[babylonsister]

2. What was predicted is happening; our soldiers are being used as

fodder for *'s war, against our wishes. How can we stop this? :cry:

4. We need to keep on yelling

Posting impeach bush signs everywhere, talking to our friends, and saying enough is enough.

Lieberman's tax on the war might actually make the message. Let all pay for W's insanity.

5. Geee....3 dead and it is only 9 am...

This is pretty grizzly

7. Hang on; it's probably going to get worse. "The

price of freedom, doncha know."

3. These are 3,117 men and women that would be alive today

had it not been for the militarists in both parties that voted to give our Fuehrer the authority to attack Iraq. Let's not listen to many of the same people that are now clamoring for war against Iran.

I long for the day in which no more war memorials are erected because men have turned their swords into plowshares.

This war must be stopped now, not wait until 2009!

6. Amen to that! Kerry has an idea that might work, if anyone would listen to him:

9. So many more than that, considering the Busheviks suppress numbers like Soviets

My personal guesstimate, based on nothing else but a six-year sense of Bushevik corruption, and what they can get away with in the age of video/internet, would be about 5,000-8,000 soldiers dead.

And 50,000 US soldiers crippled or otherwise wounded.

And probably 200,000 or more Iraqis, most of them innocent, killed by direct violence, at least one-third of them killed by us and not insurgents.

Then probably 400,000+ Iraqis (almost all of them innocent) killed by ancillary causes because we bombed the shit out of their infrastructure and none of the reconstruction $$$$$s ever GETS to them because at least 50% of it is stolen by Bushevik Contractors before it ever gets there. Bushevik corruption, I have no doubt now approaches or exceeds Saudi Arabian corruption.

8. God help us
