"U.S. troops ambushed on patrol in Iraq, shot in heads"

A cruel headline written by a reporter who doesn't know what's at stake in this war, who pays for their freedom, the values of our military, or the motives of our enemy.

Military families need a far louder voice in our public square.

Thanks for the ping, Kat.
 
Joining you in prayer for our troops!
 
How many such acts of this enemy will it take before the their lies and cruel history are investigated, exposed and plastered across the front pages of the civilized world's free press, instead of the isolated acts of a few unrepresentative MPs, and attacks on our allies in the DoD?
 
911 wasn't enough to wake the press.
 
Saddam and Osama's agendas and histories should have been universally exposed and condemned by freedom-loving people by now - as is the inhumane history of Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan.
 
More comments, prayers for the loved ones of our fallen Marines: 4 American Service Members Killed in Iraq.
 
Allied news sources:
 
Fox News: Greg Palkot confirmed four US Marines from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force found dead in their compound in Ramadi...days after a recent successful strike on a Zarqawi safe house in Ramadi.
 
Today, Gen. Kimmitt said that there were several high value terrorist targets in the safe house: "What we thought we hit - a known Zarqawi safe house - is in fact what we hit."

CPA briefing transcript:

GEN. KIMMITT: This morning we had servicemen operating in the vicinity of the city of Ramadi. As you might expect, they report in to their higher headquarters at certain intervals. There was a time when they should have reported in, did not report in. We sent a Quick Reaction Force to their location. I think we've all seen those videos and those photos on APTN and some of the other news services. I can confirm that we do in fact have four servicemen die as part of that combat action, and we're going through the next-of-kin notification procedure at this time.

            ~*~

            

God bless our troops.
