25 in 24...
Anyone who asserts that hostilities have ended in Iraq needs a good swift slap in the head. And so does anyone who believes that fucking lie.
Six British soldiers have died in an Iraqi ambush. They were killed by 'hostile' fire, a military spokesman said.They died in the first of two separate attacks in which eight other soldiers were wounded, three of them seriously, said army Captain Dennis Abbott.
He declined to give further details on the first, deadly incident, saying only that the UK troops came under attack by Iraqis....
The casualties were the latest in a 24 hour period that has seen 25 attacks on US and British forces occupying Iraq.
It was the biggest daily death toll sustained by coalition forces since March 23, three days after the start of the war to topple Saddam Hussein. They are also the first significant attacks on the British since major combat was declared over on May 1.
'Major combat over?' Think not. Seems more like we got rope-a-doped.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
What is even more unsettling is that the attack against the Brits occurred in the Shiite south. This just gets worse every day.
Tonight I saw Ghoul Rumsfeld explaining the attack against that "Syrian" convoy. He was noticeably less cocky and arrogant than usual. Is it possible that he has a conscience? Nah, what was I thinking?
