Six soldiers were killed and four were wounded Wednesday in a booby-trapped house in Diyala, the U.S. command said. It also announced that three U.S. soldiers were killed and two wounded in an attack Tuesday in Salahuddin province, north of Diyala.

The toll marked some of the deadliest days for U.S. forces in Iraq since last fall. For all December, 23 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq.

People MUST stop volunteering to die for no reason!!!

If I were their parents, I'd lock them in the basement not to volunteer to this mess! You raise them, love them, give your life for them, care for them, worry sick about them only to see them killed to protect Exxon???!!! It makes no sense at all!

Jeezus

We are SO F----cked! Bush saying he is thinking about leaving troops in Iraq, Threatening Iran, doing BS in Pakistan. If we dont quite screwing with other countrys they ARE going bite back. Heres some links to what I'm reading.

'In full cooperation' (WITH WHO>>> THE MARTIANS??????)
The New York Times reported last week that Washington was considering expanding the authority of the CIA and the U.S. military to launch aggressive covert operations within the tribal regions(Pakistan).

Musharraf warned in an interview published Friday that Pakistan would resist any unilateral military action by the United States against (KNOCK... KNOCK.... BUSH: THEY HAVE NUKES!!)

I have noticed

Since Ron Paul entered the race and drew a large following, the media has greatly reduced its negative reporting in Iraq.

My theory is that not much has changed, but previously, the heavy coverage of Iraq tolls was something that helped the Democrats and therefore supported the "powers-that-be" candidate (Hillary).

Now that Paul has become the most vociferous, powerful, intelligent anti-Iraq-war candidate and gained a large following, they have tried to downplay the coverage in order to not give him mass ammunition against the warmongering republicans.

I am pretty well convinced that Hillary is the favorite of the globalists and Paul is the most hated. As much as possible, those at the top work to provide Hillary a boost and hurt Paul.

Reporting on Iraq is one large aspect of this.

Politics

The casualties from both of the fronts are going to be downplayed because of politics! This is outrageous and disgusting. What's evn worse is that the majority of Americans just follow along like lemmings.

My Nephew leaves for Iraq next month. I am scared for him and mad as hell. He got sucked up into the war marketing about honor and patriotism, duty to his country bullcrap! GW is using my nephew as a tool in his war for oil and empire building. My nephew and I have talked since he went off and joined last year and now sees he made a not to smart decision, but must now go, weather he wants to or not. At least now we will have another Ron Paul supporter in Iraq.

I heard a rumor a few weeks ago, has anyone else heard this? They have stopped counting the war dead differently now. If the soldier does not actually die in Iraq, that soldier is not counted in the tally as an Iraq casualty. If a soldier is severly wounded and they can get him airlifted out of Iraq, on their way to another hospital outside of Iraq, then he really didn't die in Iraq. I have not been able to confirm that anywhere. Has any one else heard of this?

It's time to bring these troops home! We are not getting the full story of what is going on over there.

I have heard all along that

I have heard all along that the casualties reported are from troops killed in action. The troops that are injured and die in a hospital or later on are not counted in the tally.

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT TO ME!

George Bush is the BIGGEST TERRORIST on the GLOBE, yet he insists we should all just go shopping because our economy is strong!
WHAT KIND OF DRUGS IS HE TAKING????
He is CRIMINALLY INSANE!

I will pray for your nephew and all of our troops abroad! THIS MUST END!

What REALLY confuses me is if over 70% of Americans are AGAINST the war, how in the HELL did he win the Republican state primary where there are over 40% Independent? And HOW THE HELL is he getting ANY SUPPORT AT ALL?

Yep, gotta keep recycling those!!!

Fresh new ones are under way after Congress approved of more $$$!

At least the Military Industrial Complex is happy. I'm so happy for them! NOT!!!

Mac and his lies are consistent.

How sad.

I wonder McCain saying that staying a hundred years might have caused blowback.

The article state that it is Al-Quaida

I hate how all the media claim that everyone we hurt in Iraq is Al-Quaida. Iraq has the sunnis and the shiites, not Al Quaida. We attacked their country but make it sound like everyone is Al Quaida.

Yes, it's B.S.

Even the so-called "AQ in Iraq" is just a bunch of Sunnis that wanted to use that brand name.
