Horrible news. So much for the 'progress' being made.
Prayers are on the way for the family.
Semper Fi
Progress will take time and it will not all occur overnight. The most important progress done so far is that Saddam Hussein the mass murderer is no longer in power.
Please be careful not to follow the press's lead and give this enemy undue credit, which does mock our far mightier military - and their Commander in Chief on High.
We had a young gang of misguided thugs in our community a few years back, gave themselves a cool title, killed a local beloved music teacher just for fun.
The national press hyped the incident, played up their 'cool name' - inspired other would-be brat-thugs.
Our community lifted up the family of the teacher, condemned the acts of these 'children' and did not give the enemy undue credit.
Our military could, at any moment, take out a nation, a community. They prove their strength and honor by their self-restraint, under provocation, daily.
We are making progress.
The press is censoring it.
The people are still following proven untrustworthy news sources.
Our troops knew the inhumane history of this enemy before they went to war.
Fifteen months of long days for courageous troops - who've won every single engagement with the enemy - and Americans still don't know the nature of the enemy, or their own countrymen?
We should be celebrating our warriors, on good days and bad - and praise them even when the enemy howls obscenities from the headlines of our own free press.
These are cowardly acts of desperation, an attempt to have the countries intending to send troops think again. If there wasn't "progress" being made, these acts wouldn't take place, and if they did, the pussies wouldn't be wearing masks out of fear for their lives.
