Insurgents blew up four US marines in Iraq's Anbar province, marking one of the deadliest attacks against US troops in the former Sunni rebel bastion in months, the military said on Sunday.

In Sadr City, the Baghdad stronghold of anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, at least 10 more people were killed in overnight clashes, security officials and medics said.

How many more have to die before McCain's hundred years of 'peaceful' presence begins?

And next...Iran?

Thankfully, the Iraqis are taking a closer look. They remember how lies were used by the Bush administration to justify the attack against them. Check the link.

Folx,

please just write how angry this makes you - 5 years after mission accomplished.
Our kids dying for oil. Let's get comment count on this one to the same level (~7 000)
that latest RW article got.

Nothing could hurt the families and friends of those killed there than our national,
seeming complete and utter, indifference .

Why is it that military families overwhelmingly voted for Bush/Cheney TWICE?

Are they sorry now that they did? Or do they think this is all for a good cause still?

Do they feel sacrificing their family members for oil is a good cause?

Not this military family. No no absolutely no. Bring our troops home!! Not one more life, not one more day, not one more dollar.

Don't worry, the same people that did that are going to vote for McCain. I am in Utah and all I hear of is Obama should have known. Nothing abut gas, the economy, McCain's adultery, just Obama's preacher

The Military will continue to be treated with disrespect by politicians as long as they keep supporting and electing Republicans. As a large majority of military families overwhelmingly elected George Bush TWICE, it appears they don't mind sacraficing their children, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers for oil.

It was the SAUDIS who attacked us on 9-11, and it's also the SAUDIS responsible for escalating gas prices. Yet military families and "patriotic" Americans say nothing when they see George and Dick holding hands with and kissing these SAUDI MURDERERS and people who are actively trying to destroy our country!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE! YOU ARE BEING SCREWED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT BY YOUR OWN ELECTED LEADERS!

Either Hillary or McCain will give you 100 more years of this.

To show you support the troops, wear a flag pin, one for every dead soldier. 4053 flag pins to be exact.

actually, 4066 as of 1148am mountain standard time...but, by the time this posts, it could have changed. Tragically. The time for this insanity to end is NOW!!

The troops have to keep on dying otherwise the ones who have died already will have died in vain. Isn't that what we keep hearing? Using that logic - we still have over 4,000 to go with the number rising every day. One of these days we will wake up and realize how stupid we have been to have gone along with this ridiculous notion of sacrifice and insist on an end to it - but I'm not holding my breath.

Bush is the enemy to defeat to end foreign occupation of Iraq.

I am so sad and sorry to be a part of this. All my working life my tax dollars have contributed to the death of innocent people,,,now my children are adults and their money is a contribution to torment and terror for others. Is there any one here who thinks they even have a shot at heaven, should it even exist. Where else can we go to live?

The MSM should be ashamed of how they've stopped reporting on the soldiers. I guess the only way they'll get coverage is through a visit from Rev Wright.
