By Dylan Emerick- Brown on  From pasquinorockefeller.blogspot.com
In an ambush about 12 miles west of Mahmoudiya this morning, five were left dead and three missing among a patrol of U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter. Despite the military's best efforts, the three missing soldiers' whereabouts are still unknown. This is yet another tragedy in the ongoing larger-scale tragedy that is the war in Iraq.

So How Goes The War Where YOU Live, America? Two soldiers who wrote the NY Times editorial on the Iraq War die in Baghdad

By The Buffalo In Da' Midst on  From leighm.net
From ConnieTalk.com : “Four years into our occupation, we have failed on every promise, while we have substituted Baath Party tyranny with a tyranny of Islamist, militia and criminal violence. When the primary preoccupation of average Iraqis is when and how they are likely to be killed, we can hardly feel smug as we hand out care packages. As an Iraqi man told us a few days ago with deep resignation, “We need security, not free food.” Two soldiers that wrote a NY Times Editorial on the Iraq...Read Full Story
