BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three U.S. Marines were killed in action Wednesday west of the Iraqi capital, the U.S. military said.

A statement from the command said the deaths occurred in Anbar province "while conducting security and stability operations." No further details were released due to security, the statement added.

1. "BRING EM ON" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

And "bring it on" did the iraqi resistance.

Sad-----

I'm sure the guys at Halliburton are glad for the "INCREASED" Corporate Profits Tho--

8. looks like they brought it and will continue to do so.

[saigon68]

9. THEY WILL "BRING IT ON" for long time to come

A decade is like a minute.

Remember the USA is doing this to "THEIR" country---

THE CHIMPANZEE'S handlers obviously underestimated the power of Nationalism

He (the chimp) is incapable of any rational thought ( his head being made of styrofoam)

15. Didn't Gore say that Cheney

stated that we will be at war "for the rest of our lives?"

2. Disgusting

Sick, despicable and disguisting. End this war now.

3. Oh no, over 800 now.

Why can't Kerry sound more like Al Gore did today?

[TheFarseer]

4. because he, regreatably, voted for this mess

5. More flowers and candy I see

Hey that is the official line from DoD.

I wonder if somebody has paiged Paul Wolfowitz and asked
him for his opinion... I am sure he still thinks only 400
have died...

Of cousre what woudl the Chickenhawk know or care?

6. "Security and stability operations"?

Hmm...

12. typically Orwellian language

It's nice of the Marines to be so tight-lipped about these things; it is almost as if they want the only credible accounts on such matters to come from the Iraqi resistance themselves (that is the case, any way).

[Darranar]

13. Indeed...

any idea what actually was happening?

[bemildred]

14. Roughly, the Marines are staying out of Faloojah, so

they are only being attacked outside Faloojah, and they
are only bombing wedding parties outside Faloojah. This
is called "peace in the Sunni Triangle".

16. Specifically, I bet from 3 IED's. Here's the site:

17. Seems to be a later incident. n/t

[jmcgowanjm]

19. Would think so, but 24Hr later, where're the KIA/WIA from...

the 3 IED's. We know there were.

And this is just one of many confusing
incidents.

And why say "in Al Anbar". That's like saying
3 Marines killed somewhere between
Dallas and El Paso.

20. Perhaps because we aren't being told?

Something similar happened in mid-April - casualty reports were spotty and many unconfirmed. Since they're being silent about what exactly is going on over there, it seems to fit.

We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

7. another example of our "progress"

:(

Rest in Peace soldiers, you're out of it now.
