God rest the souls of these two fallen heroes!
They won't be forgotten by the ones who
appreciate what their sacrifice means
to this country!

BAGHDAD -- A roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers Thursday outside the main American military base in Baghdad in what U.S. officials said appeared to be another attack by Shiite militias hoping to drive U.S. troops out of Iraq.
The attack follows the deadliest month for U.S. troops in Iraq in two years. Fifteen U.S. soldiers died in June, nearly all in attacks by Shiite militias.
-----
Thursday's bomb, which was detonated near a checkpoint outside Victory Base Camp, was a powerful armor-piercing explosive known as an EFP, according to two military officials with knowledge of the attack.
EFPs typically are designed and outfitted in Iran, and are a trademark of the Shiite militia headed by anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

He’s worse than an idiot. He’s actually on the side of Iran.
A few years ago, Iran was a dysfunctional country with menacing dreams of nukes and military power that blustered and harrassed, but was not particularly respected in the ME. But now it has been consolidated into the most important country in the ME and the regional leader, thanks to Obama’s kowtowing to it and the fact that he himself regards it as the leader.
It’s still a dysfunctional hell-hole, with huge unemployment, a major drug and AIDS problem, daily political crises, and no economy to speak of. But Obama supported it against its brief civilian uprising, and has promoted it to #1 because he knows it is the one that is most radically our enemy, and anybody who hates the US is a friend of Obama’s.
The rapid drawdown in Afghanistan, contrary to his general's advice, and the non-exit exit from Iraq better not make all of these deaths into sacrifices in vain.
Their blood is on Obama’s hands.
Until our troops are allowed to go kill the enemy, their deaths are the presidents fault.
Ruthless killing and destruction of the enemies property is the solution. If wives get in the way, too damn bad
Wasn’t the Obo gonna get us out of “Bush’s war”—???
RE: Your comments, exactly right. Not only that, but a Revolutionary Guard bases gets turned into ashes.
Recall Gromyko’s words after the US embassy was seized:
If the Russian embassy had been seized, Teheran would be a crater by noon.
I have always believed in the Roman rule. Screw with me once shame on me, Screw with me twice shame on you, led to a more civil society.
“These are being traced back to Iran, and the Moose In Chief does nothing?”
The ‘Moose in Chief’ is busy using our tax dollars and military to help Al-qaeda linked jihadists in Libya.
Neither our government or NATO is willing to take on the Syria-Hezbollah-Iran alliance.
They are scared to.
I believe the Afghan rates of deaths of US Soldiers in Afghanistan is triple that of when Bush was president.
Of course, the Bush Surge resulted in fewer US casualties and more terrorist deaths...
Iranian weapons in Iraq increasing, more lethal
Sadr shouldn’t be drawing breath.
If I was in charge he would not be.
And every time an IED goes off in Iraq, by the next morning the top ten Iranian mullahs’ houses, and the top ten Iranian military bases, should be rubble.
Rinse. Repeat.
I'm as serious as a heart attack.”
When Bush had the military back down from Sadr,That sent the wrong signal,They ALL should, have been sprayed by a 130 gunship, like so many cockroaches that they are,Payback must be a 100 Fold minimum.
God Bless our Fallen Heroes!
Prayers for their family and friends!
Amen.
Thank you Luv. Prayers for all our FALLEN HEROES!
The fake president has made it MORE dangerous over there than we have ever seen it with his apathy to the plight of our military and to the people of Iraq (and Afghanistan) who DO want peace!
RIP
2 U S Soldiers
Libya?? Is something going on in in Libya? /s
Not being covered by the MSM to any great degree. I’m surprised and very sarcastic this evening.
I wish a “be safe” to our brave military and condolences to these and all of our all fallen brave soldiers.
Rinse. Repeat.
I'm as serious as a heart attack.
I'm with you on that 100%, but the chief muslime in the white hut won't do anything to mess with the muslime brotherhood in another country. He is one of them.
Thanks for the ping.
