Breaking on MSNBC-five US soldiers killed in Mosul
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 04:20 PM by malaise
today. What Shuster also said was that 40-60 Iraqis were killed in Mosul last week after an explosion.

Poor George will have a heard time explaining his wonderful surge tonight.
Surging, surging, surging to the grave!!!!

Fugg you George Bush!

Last Wednesday the city was rocked by an explosion at a block of flats believed to house a bomb-making factory that left at least 34 people dead and hundreds injured.

A day later, a local police chief and two officers were killed in an ambush as they toured the scene of the blast.

Mr Maliki announced then what he said would be a "decisive" operation, and Iraqi army tanks and helicopters began to arrive in the city along with troop reinforcements on Sunday.

Edit - to correct word to explosion and add link

2. Shhh! We're not supposed to talk about that.

It's one thing to fund the war; but do we have to talk about it?


Are you trying to take my hope away?

4. If the Killing in Iraq & Afghanistan aren't on TV the American
public is supposed to have the impression that America is
winning the Wars against the Terrorists. The "Out of sight, out of mind" concept.
