That was an interesting article you linked to. What jumped out at me from it?

The first casualty from Iraq buried in sec. 60 was named Russell Rippetoe. He was an Army ranger, and he was killed very early in the fighting in Iraq, in March 2003. He was at a checkpoint on the Iraq-Syria border where they were screening people. He approached a car....But in any event, one of the people in the car was outfitted with a suicide vest and blew herself and the car up, killing Russell Rippetoe.

The very first casualty was from a woman with a suicide vest blowing herself up. Not an Iraq Army regular or Saddam's Republican Guard. That alone should have told us volumes about exactly who we were fighting and what we got ourselves involved in there.

It says the first casualty “buried at Arlington”. The buried at Arlington is rather important. I seriously doubt that he was the first casualty of the war.

I posted this particular article merely to point out the fact that we only seem to hear from the MSM when it generates revenue, benifits “progressives” or fills in/wastes time.

We saw and heard casualty reports almost nightly when Bush was CIC; since Obama took over ....... crickets.
