Fourteen were killed in action, while one died in the U.S. of wounds sustained in combat, the military said today in an e- mailed statement. Four of the deaths weren't combat-related. Read More

It would be better if some bullet would administer the death penalty first. We don’t need a big media circus trial for any of these people.

I think Adam is worm food - was one of the HVTs nailed in Pakistan a few months ago. Very noticable was his absence from recent OBL audio/videos.

May 2008 was the lowest in 4 years for US deaths in Iraq. This is even in spite of the operations in Basra against Mookie’s minions.
Notice that this message will be lacking from the MSM tonight.

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
June 28, 2008

Statement by the President

On Friday, the Mugabe regime held a sham election that ignored the will of the people of Zimbabwe. The international community has condemned the Mugabe regime’s ruthless campaign of politically-motivated violence and intimidation with a strong and unified voice that makes clear that yesterday’s election was in no way free and fair. Any legitimate government of Zimbabwe must represent the interests of all its citizens and the outcome of the March 29 elections.

Given the Mugabe regime’s blatant disregard for the Zimbabwean people’s democratic will and human rights, I am instructing the Secretaries of State and Treasury to develop sanctions against this illegitimate Government of Zimbabwe and those who support it. We will press for strong action by the United Nations, including an arms embargo on Zimbabwe and travel ban on regime officials. We will continue to work closely with the African Union, Southern African Development Community, and other world leaders to resolve this crisis.

The United States stands ready to support a legitimate government through a robust package of development assistance, debt relief, and normalization with international financial institutions. In the meantime, we will continue to support the people of Zimbabwe by providing food assistance to more than one million people and AIDS treatment to more than 40,000 people.
